Great short story where we get to go back to some of the beginnings of the Dollhouse. I love the weaponized sex and getting to know more about the recruitment of the Dolls once again. Might be my favorite in the series but just barely ahead of book one-which I loved for some of the same reasons as this one.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Doll

Dark and direct, brutal and honest. Its not corruption as much as realization, and it's not played as Janet Bond. Grit you can savor.
