It is SO refreshing to have a book that captures the authentic female experience

[Kate Victoria RescueandReading · Rating 5 out of 5]

Omg! If you thought “100% Match” was filthy and vile, “Queen Boss Slay” definitely goes above and beyond in my opinion.

I lost my appetite reading this (my fault for picking it up just prior to supper), but continued to feel sick throughout the story.

“Hello there, Toilet,” I say. He nods without lifting his head. “I’ve been waiting for you, you know. I could have done this two hours ago, but I held it just for you, you porcelain-wannabe bitch.”

Sara is a dominatrix who makes most of her income through livestreams. Not all her clients survive.

“We ladies can find willing helpers for a lot of things, but getting rid of a dead guy—not so easy-peasy.”

I found Sara to be completely crazy and diabolical. Some of the things she did actually shocked me (Howler… what the HELL?!) and I’ve read A LOT of books in the splatterpunk genre.

I can’t wait to see what nastiness the author cooks up next 😆

The sequel to 100% Match. Just like the first book, this one was messed up, disgusting, and yet kinda hilarious. This one follows Sara from the first book, who is a dominatrix. She invites clients to her home where she subjects them to all sorts of humiliation. She also live streams torture in her basement.
It definitely had my eyes watering a few times while reading.

Yes and no

I love the character, but you can tell this was written by a man. It's painfully clear in parts it's a man guessing how women think. Idk. I'm so so on this one.

“To start with, go ahead and rip off your dangling finger and shove it in Billy’s ass. It’s his now. As a matter of fact, stick your whole fucked up hand in his ass.”

This book was GRUESOME!

[amerie ♡ · Rating 5 out of 5]

honestly i kinda hated/really liked 100% match (idk how i feel about that book) & i vowed to never read it again, but patrick ate down on this book, the way sara manipulated the hell out of me throughout this whole story has me so gagged rn, i really loved this.

[Phrique · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved (& hated) 100% Match. So when I heard we were getting a sequel, I said Shut Up & Take My Money. Just like its predecessor, the vile details are over the top in the best way possible & there were more than a few record skips for me. I’m once again reminded how nosy I really am. Things would get purposely glossed over & I would mentally yell NO WAIT SHE PULLED A WHAT OUT OF HIS WHATT??? Harrison III showers us with so much detail that when he pulls back; you’re dying for more & he laughs maniacally at your mental anguish.

Quick synopsis:
Sarah got tired of the rat race & dealing with men as a whole. So she found a new venture that would crush 2 balls with one heel. Having a worldwide audience available with just a few clicks on her screen was all she needed to fulfill her fantasies being a dominatrix, as well as so many others. Her only problem? Cleanup was a bitch.

PCH3 has really carved out a disgusting niche for himself that I hope he itches more from time to time, because I already need more. Sarah was another hero/villain that you both felt for but also despised. Apparently my brain enjoys that polarity, especially when it’s so well written and worked into all aspects of her story. The gross-outs were REVOLTING. The deaths were 🤌🏽 perfection. The comeuppances were impeccable. You need help Patrick, but then again so do we. Give us a 3rd Pocket Nasty book, that would solve everything.👌🏽

[Peter Topside · Rating 3 out of 5]

DNF at 36%. There was nothing wrong with this story at all. The lead was fine, the synopsis matched the flow and plot points, etc. However, for me, it was all extremely one note. Got very repetitive in terms of the victims, internal monologue, and interactions between the characters. There was just nothing that I could find to keep me engaged past the first few chapters, as I felt like it I had gone through it all already. Again, I don’t think anything was done badly, but there just needed to be more substance for me. And I think this is suited for a very, very specific audience, not necessarily for most casual readers.

[Leo · Rating 3 out of 5]

3.5 stars rounded down. It was a good dark read but enjoyed the other two books I've read by this author more. Grandpappy was the best so far. But own 100% Match to read as well.

“Think about all the possibilities when you combine the hardware purchases with the kink store purchases!”

Oh. My. God. If I could safely get myself on a rooftop and scream my love for this book to the world, I would. But I can’t, so here’s the next best thing. 😅

THIS BOOK SLAYS!!! I am not even kidding, it is such a fucking vibe!! 👑

I knew it was going to be a fabulous read before it was even released, because everything PCH3 writes is incredible, but I was not prepared for how much I truly adore this book and the way it was done. 🤩

I feel like the bossiest/baddest betch ever after reading this. I really do. 💅🏼

The first person POV was perfection. The main character, Sara, is basically goals. (I said what I said. 🤭) Oh, and the plot? Please, it has everything you could possibly want and more. 🔥 I laughed, I gagged, I air punched more than I care to admit, and audibly yelled “YASSSS” approximately 3x for every page read. 😜

I devoured this all in one sitting and couldn’t read the words fast enough. 🫣 If there was ever a book you see me post about and wonder if you should grab it, THIS IS THE ONE!! 🗣️

PCH3, thank you. Thank you for every book/story you write, but I needed THIS ONE. I think there’s a lot of us who need this one. Don’t ever stop doing what you do. Your books, albeit unhinged as hell, bring such incredible joy to my life and the community as a whole. And per always, you nailed it once again by curating yet another staple piece for the genre. 🫶🏼

(Side note: don’t take my review as this being some cutesy boss betch era book, I mean it is, but it is fucking foul and depraved in places. 😮‍💨 Buckle up for this one heauxs, it’s unhinged, just the way we love it around here. 😂)

“Hello, all you lusty ladies and worthless, shit-eating men,” I say, twirling the flogger around, letting its leather tassels slap my breasts. “Welcome to another thrilling session with your favorite domme! The baddest BDSM bitch in the land! The top twat of torture! The mortal enemy to all men, even those of you who are watching. Especially you!” I point at the camera with a long, sharp nail. “Welcome, friends and foes, to Queen Boss Slay!”

PC3 freaking killed it again. This story was so unhinged. If you read 100% match and thought it was foul, buckle up buttercup cuz Sara took the cake with Queen Boss Slay💅🏻🩸🪚

Sara is one twisted, sick bitch and I was here for it. Her character was balls to the wall. She knows how to go in for the kill and drawing in her prey comes so naturally for her.

I can’t wait for the next installment of Pocket Nasties to come out!

I feel assaulted by the Howler chapter

[cami · Rating 1 out of 5]

this doesn’t even deserve a one star. i am more concerned with the fact that this was written by a MAN than anything. my one regret in life was reading this

[Alex M. · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ah yes, typical girly stuff on lovely Tuesday. Very refreshing, very relentless, very Patrick C. Harrison.

something is not right with this author like what did i just read im afraid.

[Vendea · Rating 2 out of 5]

Po dočtení 100 % Match od autora jsem věděla, že se musím pustit i do Queen Boss Slay. A... well... Hlavní hrdinka live streamuje, jak zabíjí muže. Celé je to pojato spíše jako černá komedie... Tady jsem se ale moc nesmála. Byla to jedna velká nechuťárna. Pustím se do dalších Pocket Nasties? Asi ano. Něco na tom je...

[Jen · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a lot of fun, loads of gore, brilliant female lead and plenty of "wtf" moments

[Megan M · Rating 3 out of 5]

It’s gross…. If you like that stuff… but the author signed my book so that’s pretty cool

[Bambii · Rating 3 out of 5]

Wasn’t as good as 100% Match but was still a good read. Gross, weird & just plain nasty.

[Greta V · Rating 2 out of 5]

That was… a book?

It was a book. An intense one, but not a great one.

At first, our main character is clearly represented as this psychopathic feminist icon. The type of character woman read about and know that if she was a real person she’d be insane, but they love to read about and idolize in books, usually for doing what we wish we could do to people in real life who deserve it.

I was mostly thinking the same, but then the bear vs man question is brought up. Our main character shames another woman for choosing the bear, simply because she would choose the man to beat him up. She’s not a feminist icon, she’s not even a girls girl. This question and the title of the book clearly show how the target audience was people who are heavily engaged in pop culture. I feel like that made this feel really shallow, like a quick cash grab.

It only gets worse from there when she admits to abusing and having sex with her dog. The entire novel goes downhill. This was so obviously added for shock factor. It worked, but it adds nothing.

It ends with her admitting to lying about her motives for torturing men. This was randomly thrown in to make this more interesting.

Absolutely no thought was put into this book. The author was just writing whatever came to mind, kind of like my notes app.

Sometimes I’m disappointed with what I write. Then I remember people publish shit like this.

I’m new to the splatterpunk genre, but even I can tell when something is thought out or not.

QUEEN BOSS SLAY by Patrick C. Harrison III

This adorably horrific short is the second in a series of what PCH3 calls “pocket nastys”

This sequel to 100% Match , Follows Sara a plain but not ugly woman who, well she’s a working woman, she does what she loves. She loves giving people a show of things that she hates. Did I mention she hates men. Getting the picture? No? Don’t worry you will while you read this, and yes, If you are a splatterpunk fan, then DON’T let yourself miss this.

Pleasantly Repugnant I loved getting to spend time with the woman responsible for taking down the cat throwing, Bart. A hell bent, psychotic man hating queen. She scared the hell out of me but I want her as a best friend. PCH3 doesn't disappoint and this was no exception.

[Birdie · Rating 1 out of 5]

This book was a massive letdown. It masquerades as a horror story with a “women in power” theme, but it falls embarrassingly short. You can practically smell that it was written by an out of touch middle aged man trying to write what he thinks young women care about and failing.

The attempts at cultural relevance were painfully cringey pop culture references thrown in like hashtags without context or nuance, clearly there to pander rather than enrich. Every mention just made me groan and roll my eyes.

And the “bear versus man” commentary? So clumsy and forced, it was more grotesque than any of the actual violence in the book. Instead of making a point, it felt like a half-baked Reddit thread turned into a manifesto.

If the author was trying to make a statement about “man hating women,” congratulations I now hate this book.

I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone, and honestly, I’m annoyed with the person who did.

[Keeley Webb Author · Rating 4 out of 5]

A quick, entertaining read

After reading 100% Match, I had to pick up Queen Boss Slay. Sara is an average-looking girl who seeks guillible men for her entertainment. She deals in pain, and she gets paid well for it! Although I preferred the pacing and shock factor of 100% match, this is still a quick, entertaining read that I'd recommend to those who aren't easily triggered. Just don't eat straight before reading. 

[Stacy · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was wild. Sara never fails to deliver, especially for her die-hard fans. Just wait until you encounter Howler - it's gonna be a blast! Is this for kicks or a revenge tale? The sequel to the delightfully twisted book 100% Match. Fair warning: these characters are pretty gross and will have you wondering why on earth you're reading this. Proceed with caution, folks, and know your triggers!
