Carnage

The Butcher #2

by Francette Phal

The sound of the metal bolt scraping like a knife to bone means they've come for another one. My heart skitters along my ribcage, attempting to find a proper rhythm but failing because fear has now taken control of me. I can hear the ominous tread of feet growing ever closer, my worst nightmare slowly making its way down the dimly lit hallway. It's instant the prayer that comes to mind. "Anyone but me". "Please God, let it be any of the other girls but me."

It's selfish and guilt is quick in twisting my insides. But I'm only human. It's only natural. Self-preservation demands that I save my own ass. God however has other plans. Forsaking me once again when I need his intervention the most. Even before the door to my cage scrapes and squeaks open, I know they've come for me.

There's only one thought that crosses my panicked mind. One name that echoes within the catacombs of my thoughts.

KNOX.

If God won't save me than maybe he will, if for nothing else than to claim me again. Or has he abandoned me too?


Rage is a ravening pit of of corrosive acid coursing beneath the shadowy layer of my being. It runs deep. It runs dark. it's the poison that fuels me. I feed from it, a glutton on a warpath. Wading through clotted blood, the flesh of my victim steams the air around me. Severed limbs and strewn body parts. It's another person down. Another one of Katia's people who has failed to give me information on Lacey's whereabouts. The bodies are starting to pile up. But this is only the beginning. No one is safe until I find her.

I would do many a questionable thing to get my hands on this! Am I ashamed?



Release date: 31st August 2016

The lack of communication from this author is unacceptable. She promised a "teaser" for her fans, because we had waited so long for this book (almost two years), which she never followed through with. She then posted an expected release date in which was obviously a lie, since it's now that date and no book. Her website and FB page has been taken down and the last thing I can find she tweeted was from 12/2015. This author obviously has some issues going on. I can no longer support an author that has so little respect for her readers that pay money to read her books. I wish her luck in the future but I'm moving on and encouraging others to do so as well!

August 31 has come and gone and one day later there is still no book. I am officially done with Francette Phal she will not be getting anymore of my hard earned coins from out of my pocket. I don't care if she releases the book tomorrow or next week I will not be buying it. I am so tired of these so called authors writing these series and never wanting to finish them but is quick to release another book that no one was looking for. Honestly I can understand that some times unexpected things happen in life but she could of at least put out a statement stating that the book was going to be delayed a little longer. Well I wish her well and success in her writing career and whatever endeavors she may get evolved with, but I will no longer support any of her works.

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!!
AAAAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHH I'VE BEEN WAITING SO LONG!!

Just found out this book will never be released so feel really bummed!

[Sally]

I know that this book probably won't be published at all, but I will give it a 5 star rating because I understand what the author is going through! I understand how it feels like to be burdened by expectations. I understand that sometimes all the pressure and the burden makes us want to take a break.. to step away from the source of our anxiety.

Writing stories is not easy.

I just wanna say to the author, thank you for sharing your stories and I hope that you would one day fall in love with writing again!

[Florijana]

anyone else irrationally still waiting for this one to happen ?

[Winter Ashby]

Could somebody else please finish this book?? I am really bummed that the author hasn’t finished it. And she is nowhere to be found 😔😔😔

2nd edit-
Is it possible for someone else to finish this books? The book was amazing. And there’s so few books that claims to be dark and dangerous but never delivers..But this did..i love a deranged hero..i was so anticipating the heroes action after what happened because most of the time the heroes chickens out from going to dark..but it felt like this hero would do it, but no such luck as this story will never happen..this is really sad.

So, the book was suppose to come out today, August 31. Guess what?! If you check when the book will be published, the date is gone. Another year of waiting! Fun! It would be nice though if the author updated readers on her status for the book.

[Loucarol Anderson]

Why oh why is it taking so long. ...

[Simmie]

Seven years later and book #1 still affects me. You guys imagine writing it! Atleast I was finally able to have some closure. Knox went after her and she's still alive so I will use my imagination and make up my own twisted happy ending. Man thank god for the spoiler chapter. My feelings were hurt. lol

[book fay]

Apparently this sequel will never come out, what a huge disappointment, one of the books that always stuck out with me and I still remember 10 years later. Too bad.

[Ella P]

I cannnnnnnnn't waiitttttttttttttttttttttt. Please ggggggive it to me. *need it now in my life!!!*

[Zoe]

The last time I waited for anything with so much anxiety was Harry Potter and The Order of Pheniox ....

That book was such a let down that I swore never to read a series until it was complete (sadly resolutions don't mean much to teenagers and I shamelessly pined after the next two parts, BUT THAT WAS IT!!!)

The only reason I picked this up was, recently I've read about a dozen books that are actually just ONE book divided into two or three parts for no reason [Elements of Chemistry series by Penny Reid I'm talking to you]

So anyway -- I'm much closer to dying than I was 12 years ago and I swear if I get hit by a bus tomorrow.. I'm haunting you Francette Phal..


WHEN WILL THIS TORTURE END????????

[August June 💘]

Expected Publication now says Aug 31st 2016. Is this the correct date? Or is it misleading? I so hope its the right date
---------
Sep 3rd:
No published date now?! Its been removed? Was it false news? That sucks!
---------
Oct 30th 2016:
Word is that the author lost her love for writing and apparently she will not be finishing any of her books. You can get the 1st chapter of Carnage in this link,

Although the chapter is very good, it is disappointing that we won't get the finished books. Its gone :( !!

[Colouring in]

I need this book now! Pretty please?

[Biblio]

*gnashing teeth & pulling out hair*

I always manage to get involved with a book that has a huge cliffy, only to find out it's months until the sequel is released!!

*ughly crying*

I swear, it’s been years since I read Flawed and I’m still not over it. One of my absolute favorite dark romance books ever. I keep hoping the author will suddenly feel inspired and bless us with the second book because… I really need that story to continue 😭📚

[Myka]

This is all we are getting I fear…

1 ⭐️ I read the unedited snippet Francette posted because apparently we are never ever ever gonna get a sequel. So book 1 ended with the cliffiest hanger only for the snippet to give us nothing? Seriously, nothing?

I’m mad but not really cause again this is the worst book I’ve ever put my mind through and I completely understand if it got too dark for her to continue… However, wth happens? I want to know!

Anyway, so I guess it is what it is.

[Mara]

so has the book been released yet or what?

[Denise]

Such a great tease. *patiently waits for book release*

[Nyah]

[Saoirse]
