Sandra thought she had escaped the Bowery, but they found her, and now they're taking her and her baby back. Desperate to survive and trying to save her child, she makes one last attempt to run, but she finds herself stuck in a place even more strange and disconcerting, and there's someone else there too. Meanwhile, the farmers are racing against time to clean up the mess Sandra caused, and catch her again, before the arrival of the Supervisors.

I'm not going to go into too much of a synopsis for this installment, don't want to spoil anything 😉 If you haven't read Bowery yet, ignore this review and go read it. No, seriously, Bowery is an intense horror read and an absolute must-read. Sandra is kidnapped and taken to the Bowery, where women are treated like cows. They are kept pregnant and constantly milked. Sandra is desperate to escape this hell with her unborn child.

This is the latest installment of the series and its conclusion. Will Sandra succeed and escape the clutches of those who run the Bowery? You will have to read and find out. Well worth the wait!

Another stellar story from Vaughn, who just keeps getting better and better with every story he puts out. There is a reason he was my most-read author last year. A major talent in the genre and not to be missed. Check it out!

I have been invested in this series since the first book dropped this time last year. Bowery is horrifying in every sense. This is extreme horror. Consider the genre and synopsis your content warning. In the first book, we met Sandra and followed her harrowing journey at the bowery. Bowery 2 part 1 answered some questions I had after reading the first book and gives us more information about the mother cow. Bowery 2 part 2 takes us back to the very beginning and we learn how it all started.

Bowery 2 part 3 brings us back to the end of Bowery, back to Sandra's story. At first I found it a bit disorienting, but in a way, that puts you in Sandra's shoes. Well, her bare feet I guess. Cows don't wear shoes. This story starts with Sandra sitting in the back of a pickup plotting her escape. After all she's been through, she still has hope. She waits for the right moment to jump out of the truck and runs off into the woods. The farmers give chase for a little while, but eventually decide to go back to face the music. The bowery supervisors are paying them a visit and they are not happy. After all, the mother cow is dead and the chosen cow has escaped after her actions caused a chain reaction of death and destruction on the farm. The supervisors are there to exact vengeance on the mother cow's murderer and punish the farmers who allowed it to happen. Does Sandra finally get away? Is this the end of the mother cow and the bowery itself? You'll have to read it to find out.

I am once again impressed with Vaughn's storytelling and incredibly descriptive and creative imagery. There are scenes in this one that will live on in my head rent free for a long time. This doesn't end the way you think it will, but it ends in a way fitting the series. Is this the end of Bowery? I don't know, but I look forward to reading more of Vaughn's work.

You can grab this on Godless now, or get the paperback on Amazon in March. I have it on good authority that there might be a bonus story in the paperback, which means I might have to find space on my bookshelf for it.
