I loved The Dollhouse Collection
And this is no different!

There is something about dolls exacting revenge that is both pleasing and terrifying!!

“You are literally the biggest, whiniest congealed glob of bellybutton cheese I’ve ever met”

“A true fermented vat of taint trimmings”

These books aren’t long but they pack a punch!!

I needed a palate cleanser, so I said let’s do this one.

It was the best decision I’ve ever made. This book had me giggling the whole time.

And the way that Dolly gets her revenge, amazing! Makes me wonder what Mr. Smyles’ brother was doing with all those dolls too.

10/10 would recommend and have, and would reread again!

Fabulous

A great little prequel to the legendary Dollface series. Mr Smyles is a monster in human form. Abducted children get turned into dolls for a powerful clientele that have done a deal with the devil.

Loved it as usual!

This was very dark and disturbing and though not my usual horror story, it was quite good for a short Novela.

I can’t enough of these books! I love a good feminine revenge/rage story and this one was so satisfying! I just wish it was longer!

I just knew that man brother was going to be just as weird if not weirder.
