Reviews

[Grace · Rating 3 out of 5]

Gore and sex are blended together in the slaughterhouse sense. Takes a strong stomach to read this, and more than one read in order to understand what’s even happening. Lots of random occult nonsense that’s been cherry picked to make it at least interesting.

[Cara Patel]

This did not work for me. The very first page has a girl who's had her leg blown off, blood spewing everywhere, with the angle making sure you can see right up her skirt, which just put a bad taste in my mouth.

[Francine · Rating 3 out of 5]

A story about a witch hunt (literally - the main characters are witches). This volume gets right into the thick of it as witches are killed left and right. Trigger warnings for blood, gore, panty shots and attempted rape.

I found this book too dark and violent and didn't finish it.
