Fragments
The human doll company is hiring.
I like women in pieces, and I’ve got a private collection to prove it.
So when I learn a human doll company is hiring a new designer, I drop everything to pursue my dream career. I’ve been digging holes in various feminine pieces for years now, and I know this camgirl who will be the perfect starting point. I’ll make her foot into a demo product for the interview.
My adult toys will be the next bestseller.
But then the company says I need to present a better concept, and I realize the best material is closer to me than blood. And with a potential co-worker threatening me in my own home, I know I have to get that job. My future depends on it.
There’s only one thing standing in my way, and it’s not my skills or my desires.
It’s my mom.

ARC REVIEW
Holy moly, this book was wild! I've never read anything by this author before, but man, what a ride! I mean, I know people have their kinks, but reading about them in explicit detail made me go 'huh, TMI, buddy!' Still, I was hooked - it was like my eyes were superglued to the pages, and I just had to know what kind of crazy was going to go down next.
Rhodes' ego is so massive, I'm shocked his head didn't just pop like a balloon. And don't even get me started on the butcher - dude's got some serious serial killer vibes going on.
All in all, this book's got some pretty out-there scenes, so make sure you're prepared for some serious weirdness - this one's definitely not for the faint of heart! I loved it!!! Know your triggers!
Thanks to Book Sirens for sending me an advanced copy to read and review!

Oh, Roadie Baby... you little piece of shit.
This was really good, the spiraling of Rhodes, his cockiness, everything.
I guess I have no other choice but to read Freak next. ;)

Fragments, while a part of the The Pure Companion Company Universe and technically in line with Audrey's writing, somehow felt differently than my previous reads by her.
While that does not mean it was any less good in general, I did struggle a bit with it in a sense that it affected me much differently.
To me, the scariest stories are the ones that show the depth of human depravity. The things that I know are real, even if I don’t see them, even if for most they might be hard to imagine, let alone stomach.
Erotic horror is definitely not for everyone for that exact reason: it shows us things that could very well be real yet feel like they shouldn’t be. And everyone who, like me, has an obsession with Criminal Minds, True Crime and the likes, is aware of why this sub genre in particular is scarily realistic and realistically scary.
All that being said, I know what awaits me when I pick up an Audrey Rush novel. I’ve met some truly awful characters in her stories, knowing how realistic they are in their personalities. Yet this MMC tested me.
CHARACTERS
Rhodes is by far not the worst of them in terms of depravity nor the things he actually does. But he is the most deluded one.
He is the one that thinks of himself as a good man, the type that promises he wouldn’t ever do these things until he does them. He blames his surroundings and also has the most unjustified inflated ego that protects him from any accountability.
More than Dr. Ambrose or the founder, more than Miggs or the taxidermist, Rhodes is the neighbor. At his core, he is every man who never had to take accountability because he operates within a system built for him. (Even if he is, for lack of better words, also a lot more fucked in the head and considers the things he does mostly normal or at least inevitable).
He is every guy that is so sure he deserves the job when he has zero qualifications, every guy that gets angry when he gets rejected, every guy that believes the world is his to take from and who should be celebrated for less than the bare minimum - simply because he is a man.
And I think, to me that is what makes him the scariest, most appalling character.
PLOT
Now, all of this in fact does make him a great main character for this story. His development is the escalation of the plot and every step of it makes complete sense from a storytelling as well as a psychological point of view.
The way Audrey resolved this turned the book around for me, to be honest. Because for the longest time I could not see how this was supposed to work out without endangering the dynamic of the universe she has created.
And with the ending she chose, she almost legitimated her other characters and I was able to place fragments within the framework Rhodes tried to implement himself in.
So ultimately, this probably was technically a 5 star read, it just didn’t feel like that to me and maybe that’s the curse of the genre...
WRITING
There isn't much to say about the writing except for how I love to see the progress of Audrey's style compared to her early works. It matches the genre and I like that she doesn't use sensationalist writing elements as stylistic devices but let's the story have the space it needs.

“I’m a refined man. I eat steak. I work hard. And I like women. Most of all, I like them in pieces.”
Once again perfect work from Audrey Rush I fear this world is one I never want to leave, I love the depravity , I love the crossovers from previous books and characters i’ve already read about , and this book was so different from the rest of them in terms of a customer which is usually the case to a guy who could have probably fit in well with the Pure Companion Company had he not been so RECKLESS.
🦶🏻🦶🏻🦶🏻🦶🏻🦶🏻 five out of five feet (they’re all in jars)

ARC review
Thank you so much for the possibility to read this arc! This was absolutely horrifying and gave me chills. Therefore.. I loved it! You definitely need to read the trigger warnings if you have any, this went deep into some dark topics. I love horror and erotic horror specifically for the wow-factor. I want to be traumatized and think what the hell am I reading?? And this delivered just that. I flew through this book and I highly enjoyed the writing in it. This was by far probably the darkest book I have read regarding the subject.

⭐️ 4/5
This story was one of the most disgusting, sick, and disturbing, but in the kindest way possible. ⚠️ Absolutely not for the faint of heart‼️ Check trigger and content warnings ⚠️
Rhodes is in his early 20s and has some unusual hobbies and fetishes. Sick and tired of his mom babying him, he sets out to make something of himself by applying to a new job and becoming more independent. Needless to say, some external (and internal) forces stand in his way as he tries to impress the Founder. Follow along to see if Rhodes ends up getting his dream job.
I’ve read a couple other books by Audrey Rush and it followed the continuation of The Pure Companion Company. Neat concept, shocking at every turn, and very disturbing to put yourself in the shoes of these grotesque individuals.
Thank you Audrey Rush and BookSirens for providing this e-ARC. All opinions are my own.

Review of advance copy received from Author
I absolutely flew through Fragments. It was such a beautiful story… though “beautiful” might not be the right word for something this dark 😅
This was my first time reading Audrey Rush, and I can honestly say I don’t regret it for a second. From chapter one, you’re thrown straight into the madness, and it completely pulls you in. There wasn’t a single dull moment — not even close.
The story follows Rhodes very closely, and being inside his head was… an experience. He’s incredibly self-assured and confident in who he is, which somehow makes everything even more unsettling. You’re constantly seeing how he thinks, how he justifies things, and it’s both fascinating and disturbing at the same time.
And honestly… the whole food fetish aspect gave me a completely different perspective 👀 If you know, you know 😅
It’s definitely not for the squeamish, but it made the story stand out in a way I won’t forget anytime soon.
This book is dark, twisted, and honestly a bit of a “what did I just read” experience — but in the best way possible if you enjoy that kind of story.
I devoured this (pun intended 😅) and I’ll definitely be reading more from this author.

I am so happy that I read freak before I read this book because that twist at the end was what! So I was not expecting that, but man that just made a twist that I wasn't expecting. This is a horror exotic book so there is a lot of horror in there and there's a lot of twists and stuff. So read it your own discretion but man I'm not going to lie what happened at the end was kind of deserving. This book wasn't a great details about Rhode and how he thinks. And how he feels about his mother and a cam girl. After learning everything in this book no wonder why this guy had the twisted mind that he did. This is a standalone book but there is other books in the series that the author has a way that would be best read. I wish I did read the first two books before this one so I would understand the other characters more. But if you like horror, exotic, and a little bit crazy stuff you will probably love this book!

3.5⭐️ | what the hell did I just read… and why couldn’t I stop???
Audrey Rush books have me acting the SAME way every time.
Me: this is unhinged. this is insane. I should probably look away.
Also me: turns page faster
Fragments had me:
– physically cringing like "eww, gross"
– smacking my forehead in shock
– questioning everything
– and STILL refusing to stop reading
Like I physically could not put it down because my brain would not let me leave?? 👀
It’s less about how you’d normally define “good” and more about how completely it draws you in.
It’s the “what the hell is happening” energy.
It’s the chaos.
It’s the fact that I’m simultaneously horrified and completely locked in.
And listen… this is NOT for everyone. Not even a little bit.
But for me?
This kind of wild, unsettling, can’t-look-away storytelling hits every time 😮💨
Audrey Rush really said “I’m going to make you uncomfortable and obsessed at the same time” and unfortunately for me… it worked.

Audrey always makes me question why I pick up erotic horrors. Fragments def lives up to its category. Rhodes is a strange man with strange needs. What better to satisfy those need than the help of a butcher. Of course one cant become too curious because then maybe the mind will want more. If the mind wants more there is no structure, room for mistakes. Mother doesn't like mistakes? But mother cant control me anymore. Rhodes slowly falls victim to his own mind and becomes the downfall the butcher thought he may end up as. Of course the body is a fantasy, and there is every change the Companion company needs Rhodes. Just not as he thought they did..... Fragments definitely keeps you guessing and maybe gagging a little bit too 😩🥴 Until next time Audrey Rush, I will be questioning any sketchy man going fwd.

Audrey Rush never misses when it comes to a horror book full of completely fucked up book. Skins continues with the doll factory. And when i say dolls… they aren’t made of fluffing inside… The story follows the MMC who wants into working for the doll factory…. i don’t want to give out any spoilers but let’s just say he’s not exception when it comes to the lengths he will go to, to get what he wants. The ending caught me by surprise though. Thank you so much for this ARC. I loved every second of it. this book is not for everyone. it is certainly not for the faint of heart. please read the trigger warnings before you start reading.

So did you ever watch the show "Dollhouse" and think, "Gee, I love this, but I wish it was like 50x more fu**ed up"?
If you answered yes, this book is for you!

“Sometimes, when I’m alone and my mom is occupied, I like to pretend I’m a predator, taking my prey’s pieces and using them however I want, destroying every inch of flesh…”
The more we delve further into the lore for The Pure Companion Company, the better it becomes. The character tie-ins coming together full circle, the details of The Founder and the basis of the company itself: Fragments bites into all of this whilst still creating an incredibly compelling new storyline.
Rhodes actually might be one of my favourite characters of Audrey’s so far. He’s younger, giving a new perspective to the erotic nature of blood, flesh and death. His younger age shines through very smoothly in her marvellous writing choices; he has a different feel to previous ‘hunter’ characters because of her attention to detail on his attitude and smug glee in his first kills. I end up saying this with every Rush book but the way she articulates her characters is always spectacular and so immersive.
From the get-go with Fragments (literally just within the first three chapters) you already feel the depths of Rhodes, you’re brought face to face with his intensity immediately, and even at this beginning stage the finer points of character rifts through inner monologue - with a beautiful emphasis on the male ego - and the subtle play with age dynamics pull you right in. The building elements of incestuous relations from the start are just extraordinary as well: a little here, a little there… Fragments is a story sown together beautifully like the stitching on a Y incision.
The bloody details are thought out in a way I’ve never read before, they dip into preservation science with enthusiasm and it’s an attractive display of clumsy first slashings - the experience of erotic gore is stomach twisting in the best way possible through Rhodes’ eyes. And, in case you needed an extra push to read, the ending is utterly explosive…

Fragments
After arc reading Freak I fast became obsessed with Audrey’s writing & obviously devoured My Girl & Skins!! So as soon as she said a new book was coming & it was connected to the pure companion world I was checking my emails like a mad woman for the arc 🤣
And it’s finally here!! It was so worth the wait I savoured every last bit of it 😮💨🤯🤎
Rhodes has a fetish, one that’s quite common with some people…a foot fetish! Buuuut he goes a bit further with his impulses & these feet, so much so that he’s wanting a long term solution to his enjoyment, something to keep using that won’t go “bad” 👀
He also needs money & having heard about a designer position opening up for the pure companion company (a company that provides living “dolls”) he’s decided to go for it!!
His first meeting with the founder goes incredibly well, he’s to come back with his first prototype. But his second meeting leaves him with a decision to make…in order to succeed he may need to “use” & dispose of the person closest too him…his mum, just how far is he willing to go? 🫣😬
👏🏼😮💨👏🏼😮💨👏🏼😮💨
I’ve said it before & il say it everytime I finish one of her books but I LOVE Audrey’s writing style so much!! The way this pulled me in, kept me on a tight leash then dropped me at the end is UNMATCHED!! 😮💨👏🏼
I absolutely love when books crossover & characters reappear & having the butcher, the founder & mentions of Dr Ambrose in this had me EXCITED!! 😝
I already cannot wait for the next instalment of the pure companion company to be released! I know it’s not anytime soon but I’m still going to be stalking Audrey just incase 🤭🤣
This is now released & waiting on your depraved & naughty minds! Thank you again for the ARC, I’m forever grateful & so happy I’ve already got my own copy 🫶🏻🤎
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
After arc reading Freak I fast became obsessed with Audrey’s writing & obviously devoured My Girl & Skins!! So as soon as she said a new book was coming & it was connected to the pure companion world I was checking my emails like a mad woman for the arc 🤣
And it’s finally here!! It was so worth the wait I savoured every last bit of it 😮💨🤯🤎

ARC REVIEW
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I’m definitely putting this in the splatterpunk/horror category
Mommy issues and pickling
If you haven’t heard those two things together neither have I until I read this book and I wouldn’t put it under a pro Column🤣
ROADIE BABY is a disgusting little foot freak. who loves his mommy?…he does but maybe a little too much. This book take mommas boys to a whole different level.
…..and the fucking butcher is back still making my skin crawl. And a couple more you should recognize. When I started this I was not prepared for the fuckery that is afoot.
And if you think you are YOU ARE NOT buckle up for the wildest shit ever.
Feet. Bones. Blood. Mommy. Jars. Vinegar.
I love reading connected stories that really tie together! I will always tip my hat to Audrey rush for her storytelling and the way she can make a whole world thats vile (with peace and love) I will continue reading everything she comes out with!
I can’t say anything else except read this at your own discretion please check triggers bc this book is not for the weak!!!

Review of advance copy
The Pure Companion Company is scouting for new talent, and Rhodes is certain he’s the perfect fit.
Rhodes is a long-time collector whose interests have evolved from simple figures to much more complex and rare acquisitions. His dedication to his craft is unparalleled, and his pursuit of perfection has led him to explore the absolute limits of his specialized field.
Now, with the company expanding its horizons into hybrid and fully human-inspired designs, Rhodes is more motivated than ever to prove his worth. He is passionate and driven, having sacrificed much to refine his unique skills. However, the question remains: does he truly possess the qualities required to join the ranks of the Pure Companion Company, or will his obsession lead him to a different fate within the organization.
'Fragments' is a crucial installment in this series; reading them in order is essential, as the narrative only gets darker and more unsettling as it progresses. This particular book follows a young man’s stomach-turning journey into the human doll industry—and while it’s not the most extreme entry in the collection, it definitely has its share of graphic, intense moments. The mother-son dynamic, in particular, was deeply unsettling from the very beginning.
Audrey has delivered yet another hit. When I was invited to read an ARC for this Skins expansion, I jumped at the chance. I’m already excited for the next novella in the series!

ARC Review-
I don’t even know where to start except… this author truly never misses for me.
Every time I pick up one of their books, I think I’m prepared—and every single time I’m wrong. The stories are bizarre, unsettling, and completely unhinged in a way that somehow just works. It’s not horror that plays it safe. It leans all the way into the discomfort, the chaos, and the “did I really just read that?” moments—and I eat it up every time.
This one especially stuck with me. The concept alone is wild, but the execution is what really pulled me in. It starts off strange and just keeps escalating, slowly tightening that sense of unease until it becomes impossible to look away. You’re not reading this to feel comfortable—you’re reading it to feel something, and it absolutely delivers.
And that ending??? I genuinely did not see it coming. Just when I thought I had a grasp on where things were headed, it completely pulled the rug out from under me. It was shocking, a little horrifying, and honestly the perfect way to close out a story like this.
What I appreciate most is how committed the author is to their style. There’s no softening the edges or watering things down. It’s bold, it’s disturbing, and it fully embraces the kind of storytelling that lingers in your head long after you’re done.
It’s definitely not for everyone—but if you’re someone who enjoys extreme, boundary-pushing horror that isn’t afraid to get weird, this author is in a league of their own.
At this point, I’ll read anything they write

More like 4.5 stars only because while I loved it, it’s definitely not my favorite Audrey book, but that’s like comparing apples and apples so 5 would make sense too lmaooo.
I received an ARC of this!
First off, wow! The Pure Companion Company books always are of the most depraved things you could read and that ending really made it all come together in such a horribly complete way.
As usual I was super gross out by the main characters sick fantasies. And even though I’m fully aware of how these books go now, I couldn’t help but hope and wish for the victims to somehow come out on top.
From the start we immediately get more Miggs and I was so hyped to see him again, even though he’s the one that disturbs me the most. But we get even more cross over characters from there (another one right in that first chapter too). Even the tiniest second of seeing a character from the others books had me kicking my feet lol.
Rhodes is an egotistical, depraved, man with horrific fantasies and also some random boundaries on stuff he deems gross or beneath him, which is honestly so funny. I love reading a messed up character that thinks other equally messed up things aren’t the right type of terrible lol. He is entire unlikable, but in a like good way. I couldn’t stop reading!
I can’t wait to see more of this company and their messed up business. I’m crossing all my fingers for some more Kent and Teddy tbh.
Also if you haven’t it’s a must to read the other books first.

Audrey Rush is a go-to author for when I'm feeling a little unhinged. Her books and topics are most definitely not for everyone, which makes me appreciate that they exist even more. Rush is the literary queen of depravity and Fragments is another example of her dark creativity.
How did this book make me feel? There were lots of wtf moments, some that made me laugh in shock and some that made me cringe - in a good way, as you don't read an Audrey Rush book without expecting those uncomfortable moments. Get ready for a wild ride and make sure you're prepared for it.
Overall, Fragments was a decent read, though it wasn't my favorite Audrey Rush book to date. I enjoyed that the book was written from the perspective as a constant feed inside the mind of Rhodes. You could really get a feel for his certain brand of crazy by having all his thoughts laid bare. The one criticism I will provide is that I thought the book was repetitive, which made it a little slower moving than I prefer and, I'm sorry to say, boring at times. However, the repetition also made sense when you consider that it comes from Rhodes's constant inner dialogue to reassure himself and obsessive personality in regards to his proclivities.
It's a quick and easy read for those readers who like to shake up their reading with a touch of craziness. I received an advanced reader copy for free, and I am voluntarily leaving this review.

4.5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫
If you want good, and I mean really good erotic horror, Audrey Rush is where you need to look. I’ll say now, know that Erotic Horror is not dark romance. They’re two entirely different beasts.
Erotic Horror pushes the boundaries and keeps pushing. They’re a mindfuck. They’re stomach churning. They are gore infused and there’s no redeemable characters. So don’t wish for the MMC to suddenly get a redeeming arc…nope. Also, not a happy ending in sight…but man, I love her books. My morbid curiosity is satisfied after reading one of her books…accompanied with an eyebrow lift and a “Oh, she really went there” and I’m so glad she does.
Rhodes is a maintenance man in a failing apartment complex. He’s only 22 but his proclivities for his personal life are….strange, and that’s putting it lightly. Pleasure isn’t found in the usual ways for Rhodes, it’s found in the dead….body parts of women. Rhodes has mommy issues and that’s putting it lightly.
A company that specializes in human dolls is the new start that Rhodes thinks he needs. His own private collection is example of how he’d be a good asset to joining the ranks of fhe company. But The Founder will make Rhodes work for the job position…in the most depraved ways….
Add in a cannibalistic butcher, an overbearing mother, a Camgirl living next door and The Founder with his sinister smile….Fragments is one hell of a ride.
Highly recommend.

Fragments by Audrey Rush
My Rating: 3.5/5
Horror Level: 3.5/5
182 Pages of Pure Horror
AVAILABLE: April 15th
Another enjoyable horror book by Audrey Rush. I strongly recommend reading Skins and Freak before Fragments. Although, all of these stories can be read as standalones, they are all part of the same shared world and it is so much more gratifying reading these books in order. I'm so glad I did. As soon as I got the ARC for Fragments, that was my plan. And reading Fragments after Skins and Freak made it much more rewarding. All of Audrey Rush books are NOT available with Kindle Unlimited. I purchased both Skins and Freak. And it was worth it. I strongly suggest reading trigger warnings. I enjoy reading horror so to me, it has been extremely joyous reading these books. But understand, they are NOT for everyone. Not everyone can stomach it's contents. But if can, these are amazing books.
I'm also providing a horror level rating. Don't mistake them for dark romance or overall rating. It's more of an idea on how gruesome it is. And after reading them back to back, of course to me, the horror level will be different. My horror level rating on this one is 3.5/5.
Thank you for letting me ARC read this book. I can't wait to read more from The Founder and The Pure Companion Company.

⚠️ TW’s are there for a reason so do read before starting this book because its definitely not for the faint of heart ⚠️
This is a horror book where women are seen not as human but as living dolls. This book introduces us to Rhodes and I would describe him as a monster in human skin. He’s out to prove himself that he should be part of the Pure Companion Company, a company that creates human dolls, living dolls.
He has these violent fantasies about what he would do to women, even though he tries to convince himself he would never do in reality. As the story goes on there are secrets revealed and we see how his relationship with his mother dissolves throughout the story.
“I’m in control. In control. My control.” He thinks he’s in control but what he doesn’t realise his ego will become his downfall.
This is a tough story to read but the way Audrey has written this book it’s at times distressing but also compelling and captivating to read because we see how there is evil out there that blends into society and with Rhodes we see someone who acted nice on the outside but he was rotting in the inside, how we see his mind unravel more and more. I couldn’t put this book down once I started.

WTF Did I Just Devour😬
Besties… I don’t even know where to BEGIN with this one. "Fragments" by Audrey Rush is the definition of “WTF did I just read?” 😳 and somehow…I could NOT look away.
This story is told mostly from Rhodes’ POV, and let me tell you... this man is not just unhinged, he’s fully off the rails, deranged, and operating in a league of his own. One second I’m giggling at his inner thoughts, the next I’m gasping at something so grotesque I had to blink a few times…and yet I kept turning the pages like my life depended on it. That contrast? Wild.👀
This is not a casual dark read. It starts graphic and stays there, pushing boundaries with gore, voyeurism, and deeply disturbing themes that will have you questioning yourself for being so invested. And don’t even get me started on his mom…because WHAT?!😬
By the end, I was literally staring at the wall, whispering “WTF” like I’d just been personally victimized by this book. If you want true psychotic, erotic horror that leaves you shaken, obsessed, and slightly concerned about yourself…this is it.
My Ratings: ⭐ 4.5/5 ▪︎ 🥵 5/5

Fracments is an erotic horror by Audrey Rush.
The story follows Rhodes, a man who has unique and depraved wants. He seems to be harmless man who is just quietly living as your neighbour with his mother, but is anything but that. He in his egotistical mind he is almost psychopath, who fights his inner thoughts, of what is right and wrong.
The story is like a car crash, you want to look away, but no matter you want to do that, you just can't, because you need to know what happens next.
Only reason why I am giving this book ''only'' four out of five stars is that there were multiple scenes that I think and wish that would have been explored more. Also the ending for me was anticlimactic.
The book isn't suitable for everyone and you should absolutely check out all the trigger warnings, but if you can handle those, it is good and interesting read.
I would recommend this book for everyone who like to watch true crime shows and tv-series like CSI and Twin Peaks, but would want them to have more spice in them.

Only reason why I am giving this book ''only'' four out of five stars is that there were multiple scenes that I think and wish that would have been explored more. Also the ending for me was anticlimactic.
The book isn't suitable for everyone and you should absolutely check out all the trigger warnings, but if you can handle those, it is good and interesting read.
I would recommend this book for everyone who like to watch true crime shows and tv-series like CSI and Twin Peaks, but would want them to have more spice in them.
I received an advance review copy for free through Booksirens and Audrey Rush, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Holy sh*t this book was crazy!
I’m no stranger to this f-up stuff but this author was mentioned to me, and me being a curious kitty, I thought I’d have a bash at it.
I picked this read at random from the authors website and dove straight in.. blind.. no regrets.. none. I ate this up. Devoured.
I’ve never read anything from this author before, but came highly recommended, and sweet baby Jesus, it was a ride.
I was certain through reading that i thought i knew where it was heading.. every time i thought I’d got a grasp of it, the plot twist was twisting and I was spinning 🤯
I knew people had their kinks (don’t we all) but even this had me going 😳😳 “erm.. you’re putting what where? Mate really?” Still didn’t make me stop reading though! I was invested.
A butcher cannibal and a dude with mommy issues and a massive foot fetish erm WTF?? Some serious serial killer vibes going on here. Dahmer would be proud 🤣
This read is pretty out there, so make sure you check your triggers, kittens! This read is not for the faint of heart or if you’re squeamish.
See you laters.. going to add some more Rush to my TBR 💋

Review of advance copy
This book itched parts of my brain that have been niggling away since I finished Skins.
I absolutely love this series and the entire concept of The Pure Companion Company is a gripping story for any horror fan who also enjoys some depraved spice thrown in.
The main character in this story, Rhodes, infuriated me in so many ways. You just knew that his morals were going to drop like flies but his character was flawed right down to his fibres. I loved and hated his mother 😅 Did she deserve that? Well, who's to say? I certainly squirmed at every interaction she had with her son, especially the ones she didn't know about. I was completely repelled by Rhodes view of his mother.
The ending...shall we say chefs kiss??
This is another addictive installment with the company and the Founder and I couldn't put it down. Just when I think it isn't possible for Audrey to come up with every more grotesque ways to dismember and use a human body for sexual gratification, she pulls another one out of the bag. Or jar.

Mmm… such a delightful addition to the ever-growing world of the Pure Companion Company. If you haven’t indulged in the realm of human dolls, I would highly suggest picking up Skins and/or Freak before coming to this so you can understand more about the company and how it all began. I loved the subtle reference to Dr. Ambrose and his creation as well as a hint towards the future of the company. It’s sickening. It’s repulsive. It’s a book you can’t peel yourself away from. Rush is a mastermind at the appalling.
*spoilers*
Rhodes is a peculiar man. He works as the maintenance man at his apartment complex that he shares with his mother to save money for rent. He also helps out the local butcher who gives him an odd gift. A defective male human doll that looks and feels human but doesn’t react like one. Interested in the company itself, the butcher warns him not to go anywhere near them.
But of course, Rhodes doesn’t listen. Instead, he shows up to the address after discovering that they’re looking for a new designer for their signature doll line. See, Rhodes has a thing for particular parts of a female. Mostly the feet. But he feels that not every guy wants a full body to engage with. Sometimes, they only like certain parts. And he takes this idea and brings forth an example.
The Founder sees something in him but requests a finished product. One that can sustain usage for the consumer on multiple occasions. Rhodes is willing to give him everything he needs in order to be part of the company. As he believes his ideas are what they need to thrive. Even going so far as to use those closest to him to make it happen. But what he doesn’t know is that they may have other reasons for him.
This is a satisfyingly sick story of a Norman Bates like character, if he was even more demented in the head. The love he has for his mother is strong and heartfelt, even as she helped him with his issues. The plot paces well with the amount of depravity and the characters are likable, even when they’re not. Audrey Rush gives us another chapter in the Pure Companion Company that’s raw and unique with a little teaser as to what may come next *crossing fingers*. A pure stomach-churning story you can indulge in one sitting.

This is definitely a book that makes you go "wtf did I just read" lol.
But I loved every second of it.
Rhodes...baby Rhodes...what a sick little f**k he is lol. This man has an obsession with feet...and I mean like he really really loves them lol. I won't tell you what he likes to do with him, but use your imagination...and then imagine that 10xs worse than what you thought lol.
He has big ideas, and after learning from the butcher that The Pure Companion Company is hiring new employees and they like to dabble in the world of human doll companions, Rhodes knows he needs to take the opportunity to show him what he's made of....
But will he be able to do that with his dear darling mother holding him back, keeping him at bay, making sure he's a good boy?
Be ready to gag, be grossed out, think you know what's coming, only to be mindf**cked!
Highly recommend this read, but please remember that this is a horror book. There may be things in this book that will for sure make you uncomfy!
