I think this is the first book to ever make me gag 🤢😂

Miss Teacher hates children, except when she likes little boys a bit too much - until Puppet wants to play.

This was so fun. I'm always up for revenge on pdfs. It was gross and nasty but so satisfying! Gore filled, gross-out, hilarious, loved it!

Crab buffet, anyone?

We follow Blister Betty—a teacher with a horrifying secret: she does unspeakable things to young boys. And when the absolute worst kind of evil oversees a daycare, a very familiar, very terrifying doll shows up to help these kids take a stand.

I am never eating Skittles again. Seriously. No.
PB&J? Didn’t have strong feelings before… now I’m ruined.

Powell has a disgusting (and weirdly impressive) gift for describing the most grotesque things in disturbingly vivid detail. The way she writes about blisters, STDs? Awful. Effective. Permanently burned into my brain. Thanks for that.

Also… want to know the weirdest thing? I consider this a palate cleanser.

I might need extra therapy after this one

RJ dared us to see if we could get through the audiobook in one seating, I took her up in that challenge, one thing I can say is that holy shit, I wasn't ready for that.

After reading a couple of her other books and reading and loving Dollface, I thought I was prepared for this

one.

Babe.

I was NOT ready for that!!!

Fast-paced, full throttle from the get-go, I had to pause it within the first few minutes to make sure no one else could hear what was playing in my ear Jesus Christ!!!!

This is a fast-paced, splatterpunk revenge story that is NOT for the faint of heart. And it made it even better with the narrator!

If you enjoyed Dollface, you need to check this one out. But maybe not while surrounded by people or while eating

I stan a vigilante puppet.

[Kellie Jackson · Rating 3 out of 5]

Ohhh blisters Betty .. how I despise the things you have done but I am here for a damn good revenge. I’m not going to lie, these were the most depraved and disgusting books I’ve ever read but most entertaining to date. The rating coming in at how disgusting these are but don’t let it fool it bc I’m not going to hide the fact that I thoroughly enjoyed them and was so entertained. This one might of ruined PB&J for me though 🫣

[Amy · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was on par with Dollface, although I probably enjoyed Dollface more. Some great imagery in this book though, and I will never look at a PB&J the same way again 😬

Gonna go have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich now.

WILL I EVER LEARN?!

[Lucy · Rating 4 out of 5]

The word “smegma” alone makes me wanna gag

[Leigh.empresselly · Rating 5 out of 5]

I can get enough of this series! It may be short but it hits hard! A doll is at it again and this time seeking revenge on a nasty-nasty woman. Peanut butter may be ruined for you along with other foods! I ate this up! Absolutely loved it! Can’t wait for more!!

Again I enjoyed every minute reading this with my girls LIVE! It was intense.

Check your triggers …let the gagging commence!

“Evil deserves to die regardless”

Ooof Ryan J. Powell knows how to write some really nasty stuff. This was extremely entertaining but extremely gross. Just what I want from a splatterpunk book. If you like splatterpunk or gross out stuff, highly recommend this.

[Jenny McDonald · Rating 3 out of 5]

I went into this not having a clue what is was other than a 2nd book to doll face. I mean it’s exactly what it’s suppose to be- disgusting, twisted and gross. (I’ve read worse) but this was pretty disturbing! Read it in about 30 mins, so yes it’s a very , very short read. I mean, I’d love to have a chat with a person whose mind can go so dark! I find it fascinating that you can be classed as a ‘normal’ person after writing things like that haha.
But yes. If you enjoyed reading doll face, you will like this one too

[ashleyees · Rating 2 out of 5]

that lady is a straight up FREAK!! ugh

[Steph's_Creepy _Reads · Rating 4 out of 5]

Another fantastic depiction of gore and gags from Ryan. I cannot fault you as a writer. I can no longer eat peanut butter.

[🌻 Emm 🌻 · Rating 2 out of 5]

I read the first book and could not get over how messed up it was…but here I am, reading the second one and having the same reaction and thinking ‘why did I put myself through this again?’

Only 2 stars from me because of that, but hey, give it a read and maybe you’ll enjoy it more than I did.

[scarlett · Rating 5 out of 5]

And here we go again. R.J. really had me questioning every life choice that led me to this book. I thought Dollface was messed up. I didn’t know it could get worse, but here we are. It’s gross, had my stomach churning, and yeah…I had to put it down and take a breather. But it was so worth it. Dark, disturbing, and exactly what I want in a quick splatterpunk read. Definitely recommend if you’re into the messed up stuff.

[T.D. Lawler · Rating 5 out of 5]

Gross. Twisted. Horrific. Uncomfortable. But all in the best way. I love a good revenge story and a good splatter story and this has both in spades. Give this a read if you like your horror messy and gory.

[Nicki Thoirs · Rating 3 out of 5]

The second instalment in the Dollhouse series. The series follows dolls that come to life to help victims get revenge on their abusers.
While I found this to be less intense than the last book, it is still brutal!

[Alberta]

I honestly don’t know how to rate this. Was I disgusted? Yes 100%. Was it a literary masterpiece? Definitely not, but like it’s not supposed to be?

Truly don’t know how to feel about it even after giving some time to ruminate.

[Vix · Rating 5 out of 5]

5 star read

This book has all the makings of a perfect splatterpunk horror. The gore, the horror the sick and twisted things that pip and charlie do! Seeking revenge at its best !! Not for the faint hearted . But highly recommend if you love splatterpunk and horror this book is definitely for you .

[hailey · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is disgustingly disturbing and honestly hilarious.

Sooo good, the torture scenes were so inventive just like the first book. sadly I feel like it lacked a little something. But overall awesome read
