[3.5] Read this for a disturbing horror vlog for YouTube and now I’m upset that this series is over. Is it the best in the trilogy? No, for me, I don’t think anything can be the first book, but this series introduced me to R J Powell so has a soft spot in my heart!!! For a feel good horror is that makes sense (or if you’ve read splatterpunk, then you know the feeling of not caring what happens to the absolute cretin that usually gets tortured - in FICTION that is)

This made me feel so sad! Gross, yes as always, but if you know you know.
This is a dark version of Toy Story & I love how the author can pull your heart strings like this.

[Lia's Haunted Library · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a brutal but oddly beautiful wrap-up to the trilogy, given the horrendous topics and everything that went down in the first two stories. Here, Charlie and Rebecca are transferred to a hospital where they’re subjected to the twisted “care” of a crazy doctor. However, Dr. Pip and Dr. Dolly are here to teach that guy a lesson. And because this is Powell, it’s as disgusting and brutal as you’d expect, yet completely warranted. The bastard had it coming.

What I loved most, though, was the unexpected “lightness.” The dolls actually have each other’s backs, they want to protect the kids, and they even manage to have fun while doing it and create a connection with other dolls. That strange balance between grotesque torture and moments of connection makes this finale stand out. It’s raw, but it closes the story exactly as needed.

I feel so privileged having been able to read this one already, and it is WILD. Wilder than Dollface, wilder than Puppet, yes, it's possible. As usual, the first page hooks you in and doesn't let you go; you'll want to read this one in one sitting, and then stare at a wall for a few hours.

My heart cries for Rebecca, but thankfully Dolly is there, together with Pip to serve justice for both her and Charlie, and this time... HA! You thought I'd spoil?! Nope! Get this one yourself, read it, and be sucked into this world of madness that RJ has created, a world I can't get enough of. It's wild, it's vile, it's everything you want from an extreme horror, and the torture scenes you might wonder about? Of course, they are even more grotesque than the previous two, and those were already creative.

RJ ruined cherry syrup, PBJs, and juice now for us. What's next?

Probably should’ve stopped at the first one, the second one wasn’t great and this follow up was just pointless with more ‘toys’ shoehorned in at the end.

And no real explanation as to why they wake up, is it demons, are they imagining the dolls are coming to life and doing it themselves? Who the hell knows, and since this is the conclusion we don’t find out.

I can officially draw the line between me and this author now I’ve concluded the series.

better bc this wasn't so pustually and blech, had a "happy" enough ending where they got with their parents, but like where were their parents while they were locked up? like, did they think their children (prob around 6-7 years old) could do that? in the first book, it said dolly was like 3 years old or something, how could she possibly have tied him up and done all that? yeah, i know it's fake and all that, but still.

Ok ending to the trilogy, wasn’t nearly as gruesome as the others. Kinda like a f-ed up Toy Story

[Dubs · Rating 5 out of 5]

Genre: Extreme Horror
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Gore level: 💀💀💀💀💀

“She'd watch them every morning, wishing and hoping that she could, too, one day be as free as them.”

In this book we follow Rebecca and Charlie's journey after the events that happened in Dollface and Puppet. Rebecca is living nightmare after nightmare because mean, bad people are out there everywhere. Charlie joins her after, and with their toys, they'll get the sweet revenge they deserve.

Dolly & Pip DP is the third book in the dollhouse series, and just as the previous two, this is one hell of a ride. Don't let those beautiful covers fool you! This is WILD, not meant for everyone. I had to put the book down a couple of times because I genuinely thought I was going to throw up my breakfast (I mean every word) and I'm not new with extreme horror books.

If you already read Dollface and Puppet, you know what's about to happen. The dolls will help their kids to find justice for all the damage done to them and others. Ryan's writing is great; the pace dives you in, and you don't want to stop reading until you finish the book (or if you need to catch your breath and maybe drink some water.) The torture is so depraved, disgusting, atrocious, and fun at the same time because the doctor 100% deserved everything that happened to him. 

So, if you like extreme horror and revenge plots (and if you have a strong stomach, let's face it) this is the book for you.

Keep in mind this is book 3, so you need to read Dollface and Puppet before diving into this one.

Happy reading!

Awesome read

RJ Powell has done it again. Absolutely love that in book 3 PIP and Dollface meet and together save the children and reek havoc and revenge. This is revenge at its finest!! I wholeheartedly think that every child that has ever suffered abuse in their lives should always have a PIP and doll face to serve justice and what these sick, evil drs deserve !! If you love splatterpunk and extreme horror these 3 books are definitely for you !

[Bee · Rating 4 out of 5]

We meet back up with Rebecca and Charlie, and their "come to life" dolls. The kids are locked in a cage inside of an adult where the doctor does unspeakable acts. In true RJ POWELL fashion, this is a story of revenge. As someone who loves the dollhouse series, this is the best one yet.

[Stu Logan · Rating 5 out of 5]

Absolutely insane

Readers if the first two will
absolutely adore this. Pip and Dolly come back to life, and exact revenge on a twisted Doctor, who truly gets his comeuppance in the most vile way.

[LicReads · Rating 2 out of 5]

The first book was inventive with gore and torture.
The second book was pretty good—the Legos and Scrabble pieces as weapons was brilliant.
This third book is almost unnecessary. It’s entertaining in parts but it definitely did not live up to the creativity of the first book.

[GemieLou · Rating 5 out of 5]

Pip and Dolly are the ultimate duo! Another incredible read. Ryan can do no wrong with her writing and I'll forever eat her books up!

This has ALL the violence. However, I find violence against pedophiles doesn’t bother me. I have enjoyed this series-revenge is best served dolliciously.

[Samantha · Rating 1 out of 5]

Same as my reviews on Dollface and Puppet; Don't recommend. If you want to read torture methods used on sexual abusers and predators then it might be for you but otherwise I don't recommend. Only reason I finished this book and the trilogy is because of EXTREME morbid curiosity- don't recommend

🖤𝓻𝓮𝓿𝓲𝓮𝔀🖤
First of all, if you have not yet read DOLLFACE or PUPPET by R.J Powell, you should definitely do that before proceeding with this novella and to really understand the characters and the hardships these kids have gone through before we get here. If you’re not one to read abuse of minors, these books heavily deal with this type of brutality but in a way where the children come up from the evil.

Dolly and Pip takes place after the children survivors from the past books have been placed as a permanent resident of Hollygrove Asylum. A place where nightmares become real. This book literally opens with a heinous act just to show the readers that Powell does not play when it comes to extremity. But now, she’s been placed in a cage alongside Charlie, who is another survivor of some atrocious crimes. But luckily for them, their precious friends who helped them escape from their misery are right there in the same room.

After adding a dash of magic to awaken them, Rebecca and Charlie, with the help of Dolly and Pip, and a couple more found friends, escape the wretched walls of the asylum but not before leaving their grotesque marks. The revenge inflicted on the horrendous doctor is excruciating and a good for them moment for the kids. There are some scenes that include canned animal carcasses and an aborted fetus that may be too much to stomach for some readers but absolutely works well for the plot.

Dolly and Pip are still vengeful little dolls that protect their loved ones. And even the additional critters made an exceptional appearance in helping them escape. I wouldn’t mind reading about their struggles and how they got to the asylum themselves. Overall, a great trilogy of madness and revenge.

Dearest Darlings of Darkness,
Well, well, well… the dollhouse doors creak open once again, and our beloved duo Pip and Dolly have found themselves in the darkest playroom yet, a psych hospital where innocence gets swallowed whole and the monsters wear white coats.
Now, if you thought Doll face made you squirm and Puppet made you gag (and oh, how we gagged), this one? This one crawls under your skin and builds a little nest there. RJ Powell, that wickedly brilliant woman, doesn’t just write horror; she waltzes into the filthiest corners of humanity and somehow makes it art. We’re talking bruised souls, broken toys, and a level of emotional carnage that makes you question why you’re smiling through the horror.
Dolly, my queen, remains the twisted heart of it all, fragile yet feral, nightmare and salvation all rolled into one. And Pip? Still the chaotic little gremlin of my nightmares (and dreams, let’s be honest). Together, they take on a mission to help the forgotten, the discarded toys, and the broken children trapped under a doctor’s “care.” The result? Equal parts gut-wrenching, grotesque, and gorgeously unhinged.
As always, darlings, check those triggers before they check you. RJ doesn’t pull punches; she crafts emotional gut-punches with a wink and a bloodstained smile. It’s disturbing, it’s heartbreaking, and it’s utterly unforgettable.
Read it. Or don’t. But once you do, you’ll never look at a doll the same way again.
Yours in beautifully broken madness,
E

📝 Story Review: After having been admitted to an asylum, abused children Rebecca and Charlie (from books 1&2) are reunited with their dolls. But Charlie just arrived here, while Rebecca has been being abused and tortured by her doctor for a while. Once the dolls, Pip & Dolly, are awake, they decide to once again get revenge for what’s happened to so many innocent children at this depraved doctor’s hands.

This trilogy definitely fits the genre of extreme horror… please check the TW’s first!! While the content was hard to read due to its disturbing and grotesque nature, the writing was pretty decent. It definitely had the horror effect down pat. This series is not for the faint of heart!

Genre: Extreme Horror
Series: The Dollhouse Book 3.
POV: Third person; Dual.
My Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ 3/5

TW’s 👇

- Extremely graphic and highly disturbing forms of torture

- Mention of causing a child’s death

"Why Though 3-D: Endgame"

Yeah, so, basically, each book is more or less the same thing. It opens with a mercifully short and matter-of-fact description of a child being hurt by an adult, then a doll comes to life, and 90% of the book is the doll torturing the predator.

I don't know how to rate these books because I feel like they do what they set out to do wonderfully. They're just not quite for me.
----
The positives: The bad guy always gets theirs and then some, I like the endings, they're almost too short to be that upset that I read them, they quickly added three books to my yearly reading challenge, and they allowed me to put money in the pocket of a seemingly cool indie author.

Strangely, I am morbidly curious about her other books. I'm determined to read them all to see if I like any of them since Ryan seems like a cool gal based on the Afterword.

I mean, one of her stories has a slice of pumpkin pie on it; that's the best food ever. That story has got to be good, right? Right?

What better way to end a trilogy than with a book that was... nothing.

Maybe I'm in a bad mood, maybe the book was just kinda meh? I'll leave that up to you I guess. Don't get me wrong this book was MILES better than the second of the series and I am so, so glad we got Rebecca and Dolly back for this one, albeit horrific things are still happening to Rebecca so definitely not all good.
I really like the interactions that Pip and Dolly have with one another, showcasing their love for their children but also the thrill of torture for those who deserve it. The part of this book that fell short for me was the ending, I found it was just so weird and too convenient and I hate the inclusion of extra toys coming along for literally less than 10 pages ??? It was just a little bit too coming-of-age movie cliche to be reading in my extreme horror called Double Penetration, ya'know?

[Gerhard Geick · Rating 1 out of 5]

Loved book one. Book two was even better. Book three is a bit much. We are reunited with old characters, which is nice, but there is a sense of "Been there. Done that." that suffocates the story, so much so that it is hard, if not impossible, to enjoy. In fact, if it weren't so short, I likely wouldn't have finished it. That being said, I still might have given the story two stars, but the ending was ridiculously bad. These books fall mainly into two genres, Extreme Horror, and Bizarro. In order for Bizarro to work, it must be written in such a way that readers can easily suspend their disbelief. The way this story ends though, it is impossible. It is hard to say if I will give this author another chance...

A definite disappointment.

If you haven’t read this yet, what the hell are you doing? It’s Dolly and Pip! RJ, you absolutely crushed it bringing this crew together. The way you pulled everything off—character depth, tension, and raw emotion—was nothing short of brilliant. I couldn’t put it down. This is the kind of story that grabs you by the gut and doesn’t let go. RJ knows how to make you feel everything.
Your voice, your energy, your storytelling—chef’s kiss—pure magic. Can’t wait for whatever comes next.
