The unique cover and title instantly caught the one-click finger's attention! I enjoyed the story, it flowed and definitely kept my attention. I look forward to reading more horror stories written by Author Willow Ridley.

Author Willow Ridley sure knows how to trap her readers with her fancy way with words. This story sucked me in, and 45 mins later, in found myself staring at the last word saying to myself, 'what did I just read?'. Also, the cruel joke that was played was one out of the ordinary and I did not see it coming! I assumed one thing and was thrown off by something else. I can truly say, Author Willow Ridley sure can write one hell a story. Also, word salad totally made me snort an uncomfortable snort laugh!

I love gory, horror, and revenge stories! So, when I came across this book I was excited to read (plus the cover is bad-ass) I really wanted to like this book. But unfortunately for me this one was a big let down. Very juvenile and not gory in the least. I didn't understand why the prank (which i thought was going to be way worst than it was) that was done on Annabelle would warranted such a severe punishment. Maybe I'm just wired differently but this was just okay for me...

Willow Ridley has absolutely broke out with her debut book and she doesn't take any prisoner's. This is a journey into a young ladies mind and what happens when a prank goes to far. This book is not for the squeamish! Cannot wait to see what comes out of her twisted mind next!

Murderous mayhem and plenty of it!
Revenge is so often at the heart of a horror story, and this story is certainly no exception. Reading this story reminded me so much of the “Slasher Flicks” we all can’t resist and that I watched and loved while growing up. Take a simple prank gone wrong, add a few unrepentant (at first, anyway) perpetrators, and top it off with a young woman who, to be generous, is teetering on the edge, and the blood flows by the bucket.
This author delivers her tale at a rocket pace, her writing sleek and nasty, making for a swift and satisfying read. My only real complaint is that the story ended, the killer running out of victims, and as she was becoming quite adept with her methods. That she saves the “mastermind” of the prank for last – ah, works every time, and the way she revels in the blood she spills is, frankly, chilling.
Lovers of extreme horror will not want to miss this fine offering from a writer with a style and voice all her own. Five blood-drenched stars and highly recommended.

This is Willow Ridley's first book and I must say that it is a freaking ride!
Meet Annabelle, it's her 21st birthday and her friends have thrown a party like awesome friends would! But it seems they may not have her best intetests at vBulletin heart as plan an *ahem* prank on her. Turns out she doesn't take it so well...and I am going to stop there!! Wouldn't want to give away too much!
Loved it!! Definitely not for the squeamish or faint of heart!
Willow Ridley left me wanting so much more!

3.5 stars!
Well heck! Who knew a prank could go so horribly wrong? Why would friends choose such a prank on a young impressionable 21 year old? On her birthday of all days!
If you don’t know, after reading this bad boy you will know! Revenge can be therapeutic unless taken to the extreme! Annabelle? Her revenge is beyond extreme! She and the special ax are like otherworldly beings!
This story is horror and include every aspect of horror. If you’re not a fan of blood and gore, keep it moving! This story is for the darker souls who roam the earth!

Willow Ridley is a truly gifted storyteller!!! Her debut - Driven To Insanity is PURE GENIUS!!! This story tells the story of a young woman pushed to insanity by a cruel prank from her so-called friends. This story pulls you in from the very beginning and doesn't let you go...even after the last swing of Annabelle's special axe.
I highly recommend this book to a fan of horror books. This book has blood, violence, and so much more!!! I cannot wait for more from Willow Ridley!!!

Damn. I love violent books extreme horror splatter punk. Very rarely do these disturb me as they are fun but at the end of this book with the best friend killed it fucked with my head. Good job! I felt like I was watching it all through the main characters eyes. Really drew me in. I will treasure my signed edition. Great first book!

This was a fun story and well written, but the writing style was not, well, my style. The characters acted and talked overly juvenile which made the whole book seem YA.
