Guilty Hands: My Bloody Valentine Collection
A psychological horror thriller novelette where revenge is personal and permanent.
This Valentine’s Day, love isn’t what he’s after... it’s payback.
He hunts thieves. Not just the ones who stole from him, but anyone who’s taken something that didn’t belong to them. One by one, they’re marked on his Valentine kill list.
Rachel is different.
She didn’t steal money or possessions. She stole something far more valuable, and for that, death would be too merciful. Instead, he stalks her. Inserts himself into the quiet corners of her life, determined to make her feel every ounce of what she took from him.
Will she expose the monster hunting her… or will he succeed in ruining her life, one calculated move at a time?

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Guilty Hands: My Bloody Valentine Collection – Jessica Lynn Sorensen
This was a fun, fast, bite-sized read—the kind you inhale without realizing you’ve already reached the end. Short story, just enough suspense, and a solid psychological mindf*ck sprinkled in. Lots of why, how, and who?
And listen… I still don’t actually know who did it. I think I know. I have a theory. But did I get confirmation? No. That might be the book. That might be my brain currently operating like scrambled eggs. The why, though? Crystal clear.
This story isn’t really about justice—it’s about revenge. Messy, grief-fueled, anger-soaked revenge. And honestly, that worked for me. I don’t think I’ve read many stories that leave you with more questions than answers, and to my own surprise, I actually appreciated that. Sometimes closure is overrated. Sometimes confusion fits the mood better.
Four stars from me—not because it’s bad, but because I’ve read books that made me feel more. And five stars, in my world, means perfection. This one just didn’t quite crawl under my skin the way I wanted it to. That said, I can easily see this being a five-star read for other beautifully unhinged, chaos-loving readers.
If you’re in the mood for revenge, murder, and creatively wrapped Valentine’s gifts (romance is dead anyway), this is an easy one to squeeze in between reads. Quick. Dark. A little twisted. And slightly smug about not explaining itself.

“Guilty Hands” by Jessica Lynn Sorensen is a dark, revenge-filled highlight in the My Bloody Valentine collection. This psychological horror thriller novella is intense, unsettling, and beautifully twisted. The atmosphere is heavy and the revenge is ruthless. Short but powerful, it delivers a chilling punch that lingers long after the final page.

So good. I love supporting another author who lives in cold, freezing Saskatchewan. This is a short, intense, and unsettling psychological horror. It isn’t heartbreak on Valentine’s Day you should be afraid of. The revenge and twist delivered in Guilty Hands were executed perfectly. 5 stars.

Watch who you accept candy from this Valentine’s Day… seriously. You’ll understand exactly what I mean once you crack open this book.
This story had me glued to the pages, my heart racing, and side-eyeing every character. The tension is continuous; the suspense is deliciously cruel, and just when you think you’re safe… boom, another twist.
And let’s talk about the k!ll list. Yes, there’s a list. No, you absolutely do not want to be on it.
This is not a sweet Valentine’s read. It’s dark, intense, and unhinged in the best way. If you like your romance season with fear, chaos, and a side of what the hell did I just read, do yourself a favor and pick this one up. Just… maybe skip the candy.

I really enjoyed the writing style in Guilty Hands. It’s a short book, but the story is tense and fast-paced so it grips you right away. The POV jumps between Rachel and the Gift Giver were intense but intriguing—you spend half the time thinking "this person is crazy" and the other half wondering what actually drove him to be like this.
The standout for me was definitely the "why"—it was absolutely mind-blowing and did such a great job of blurring the lines between love and insanity. If you're looking for a quick, intense Valentine Day read, this is it.

This author has done it again! Another book that I will need for my shelves! Dark, disturbing, and completely gripping. This is revenge taken to a whole new level, and I couldn’t stop reading until the very last page. Jessica Lynn Sorensen is an auto buy author for me!
