SLASHING AWAY, Book 2 of Chuck Buda's Gushers Series is a bloody sucker punch to your eyes. A strong follow up to the opening salvo, there was a lot to live up to. And it did. All the stakes are bigger, the pools of blood are deeper and the sex (oh, the depraved ritualistic sex) is dirtier.
The book starts out feeding the salatious sex that made the first book so spicy. Like the first I was left wanting a deeper peek behind the curtains of the parents lives. But then, just like every good cult, the thing that lures you in is yanked away and replaced with the thing that won't let you leave. Thats when the violence kicks in and the blood flows thicker than Stoker's Dracula and well, things get way worse for everyone.
SLASHING AWAY has everything you love from the first then grabs the knob and turns it up. The ending is hot enough to leave you eager for the final cut in book 3. Alas, you'll have to savor the flavor of this extreme offering until then. Not as strong as the first book but the series remains strong all around and the stakes are raised again leading into the final book.

Personally, I think this was a major step from the first installment of the series. The sex is there and it seems much more graphic than the scenes in book 1. The plot, however, is much stronger and much more appealing. The conflicts between the characters seem very real... Until they get very not real. This book takes a turn towards a more supernatural type story towards the end, that I personally thought was a good and interesting twist.
Similar to The First Cut, the characters are the strongest part of the book. The stakes have been raised by the end of the novel, and I'm looking forward to see how things wrap up in Book 3.

Not as good as the first book
I didn't enjoy this book as much as the first one in the series. That said, it was still worth a read, and I'll probably read the last book of the series when it's available, just to see how the story ends.

The second book where the characters come head to head for head. It picks up where the first novel leaves off and continues the debauchery. The depths of sexual intrigue spurts like a ruptured artery. The tone shifts away from erotic thriller of teen drama to horror with where the characters are willing to go for the exclusionary of the club and payment to be in it. It dials up from the first book with more, more, and more with the vampire undertones becoming shocking. I can't wait to see where the blood coagulates in the next book.

3.5 stars for the wonderfully, overly descriptive language. This sequel in the Gushers series is campy, bloody, sexy-hot, wild, & disgusting. Be ready for some absolutely unbelievable characters. The teens have gone even deeper with their occult-club and brought their parents into to the shenanigans. You just may need a cold shower by the time you finish it. This series is definitely not for the faint of heart. I look forward to see what's next!

The end will be satisfying. And there will be lots of blood. So much blood. Imagine waves of blood crashing upon a sandy shore. Yeah. That much blood.
