I saw this new release posted the other night & thought feminine rage & only 18 pages, that’s perfect for me right now 😌👌🏻

Jennifer desperately wants a baby, but after multiple miscarriages her marriage is now rocky to say the least. Nick would rather go out & drink than be with his wife. After having multiple tests done she finds that she’s not actually the problem, it’s his DNA that’s broken not hers. Soooo she’s going to fix that for herself & get “rid” of the problem 😌

This is a brilliant short read! I’m sure I’ve read this before maybe in the our wombs your torched remains anthology? Either way I loved it! A great little feminine rage read!

This is currently available on KU so makesure to check it out!

Feminine Rage fuelled and messy.

A fun little horror short for all those women who got pissed off at their man for not helping round the house today.

A woman who has had multiple miscarriages is getting down on herself and the situation that is her wanting a baby so bad, When one day she goes out and finally gets pregnant and is going well, she realizes that it’s her husbands fault all along and she plans revenge.

This was such a fun story about female rage and revenge. Her husband had absolutely everything coming to him.

My problem with ( most ) revenge horror is that the revenge doesn’t feel earned, or the bad guy is so over the top mustache twirling villain that it isn’t believable. This one feels real. The world is alive. The couple is dissatisfied and dysfunctional. And when the violence comes, it feels like the story has given you enough to feel the pain. Great short story

Ooof! This was beautifully written and depicts the absolute heartbreak that comes with infertility. If that is a trigger for you, be aware! This main character is brought to desperation and pure insanity by it.
