A review by horrendously
Marionette by Antonia Rachel Ward

3.0

Thank you to Brigids Gate Press, LLC and Netgalley for providing an e-arc for an honest review.
The Marionette is a horror erotica novella, that has spirits seances and prostitutes. The characters were decent, there wasn’t that much development which is okay but a bit disappointing. I mean it's a novella, I can't really expect that much development in a short 100 pages. The horror aspect was okay, I do think it could’ve been done a little differently. I enjoyed the idea of spirits possessing bodies and wanting revenge but I wish there was more to it, it personally didn’t feel like there was enough there.
The erotica aspect of the story was nice, but gory which didn’t bother me at all. { gory erotica isn’t for everyone so beware }. I do wish for a little bit more of the scenes, or at least them be longer. There was a decent amount but it feels like they were over in a few sentences. Overall the story was pretty okay and I would read another one of Antonia’s books in the future!
