This is like reading Hostel, with a little Death Wish thrown in.  It is gory, and horrible.   A serious torture porn horror novel.

I cannot rave about this book enough! Talia's story is not uncommon in the entertainment industry, and her fate as well as the fate of those around her are a person's worst nightmare in her situation. The violent scenes were definitely graphic and intense, and while the plot is mildly predictable as it unfolds, you still do not see the ending coming, and it is FANTASTIC. Another great tale of people getting just what they deserve, and the spicy revenge arc in this story was by far my favorite part. This is my second read by Daniel J. Volpe, and I can guarantee I'll be picking up a few more!

This book was brutal. I love splatterpunk. Unfortunately though with the genre, spatterpunk, you are met with poor storytelling and gore. Talia was not that. It was well written with the perfect amount of gore! 
***Slight SPOILER below ***

Lots of snuff graphic imagery. I typically don’t like creature horror but this was a delightful revenge creature feature!

This is so bad like edgy bad. Like this is just shock and trying to hit every mark out there. I really felt nothing for the characters and this really reads of man writing sex in the modt man way possible. A real snoozefest. I wanted it to be done asap.

Tried so hard to be cool and edgy. The revenge part feels so lazy and rushed. Obviously wanting to draw out the worst sexual parts down to women being abused. Not a fan

Don't get me started with how this is very straight guy attempts writing a womam that sleeps with woman that ticks all the checkboxes of some guys wet dream of girls liking each other only for it to be doomed. 

I've found better extreme horror than this. I'm disappointed to say the least.

Holy hell.... first book that has made me physically uncomfortable, not gonna lie. Absolutely incredible, though. The satisfaction at the end was phenomenal. Immediately bought the next book
