3rd novella of 4 done. Its a disturbing series around a twisted reality show. I'm both looking forward to read the last novella and dreading it. As much as I like the gore and horror I really like Destiny and Mary. But when it comes to extreme horror book having favorites is not always smart as it never really ends with a hea haha.

Third in this novella series. I still am truly enjoying this torture porn series. At book three, however, it has lost a bit of luster. The tv show is still my favorite part but this actually seemed the tamest of the three so far. Or I’m truly desensitized. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Things seemed to have fast forwarded immensely from book two.

Again, these aren’t what you read if you’re looking for a literary masterpiece. The dialogue is a bit choppy and the storyline speeds along at a pace that can sometimes be confusing. However, the part that intrigued me the most has to do with the reality show. Part of this reminded me of Hostel: Las Vegas. You’re not there for the storyline but for the gore and disturbing tv show that probably does exist somewhere in the dark dark web.

As there’s only one left in this series, I can’t NOT read it! I’m SO curious how this could end.

I think I’ve might’ve figured something out with this author. I think she has came up with some sick things in her head, and needed to put them down on paper. Then she wanted to create a book with these ideas. The reason I say this is because the painful things in her stories are much more fleshed out than the actual filler or story between characters. The story just seems to be put together rather frantically. I constantly feel like I’m reading a rough draft that has been turned in to the teacher as the main paper.

So, once again, the pain show is why I’m here and still reading. It’s nuts. The rest is just..drivel almost. Sure Damon is becoming crazier, but it’s so unbelievable it’s hard to get invested at all. Same with the bad writing. It makes it hard for me to care about Mary, Destiny, or anyone that’s put in the story and dies lol.

It’s a rough read folks.

I had a blast reading Hurt Bank. It ended up being my favorite book in the series so far. Damon was thrown for a couple of loops and it was great to see the powerful man feeling a little lost, confused, and struggling to get back on top. We actually see a lot of growth from Damon. He struggles with being a caring human being and controlling his dark inner demons. Watching Damon struggle set up interesting dynamics within the series and it will be interesting to see where this leads him from here. It also made for some great suspense – who will find out what he is doing? Is Damon going to get caught? Is Damon going to go to jail, get killed, quit the pain game? That added element of danger to Damon in Hurt Bank made for a very compelling story. In the previous two books, it didn’t really feel like Damon was going to get in trouble for anything, and that wasn’t quite as much fun.

Just like in the second book of the series, Pain for Gain, the actual tv show part of the plot felt a little bit more tame when compared the the reality show from book number one, Easy Money. In fact, Hurt Bank dealt much more with Damon on a personal level instead of Damon the boss. The show was still a big part of plot, and there was added drama and tension because Damon and Mary’s jobs were on the line, but over all, there was not as much focus on the tv show that Damon had created.

Adding to some of the focus being taken away from the tv show, we were introduced to a dark web show that a masked Damon performed on in front of a live online audience. I don’t want to say too much about the dark web show because I don’t want to spoil it for anyone… but I really loved the whole plot involving the web show. I thought it was a clever twist that had Damon struggling to wrap his head around. It was a little bit predictable about Mr. Cyber, but I didn’t mind… it added to the anticipation of waiting to see what Damon was going to do when he found out. Hurt Bank left us with a bunch of questions about this dark web show and who is behind it. I’m dying to find out myself!

The errors and typeos that dragged the pacing down last time are gone for this outing and the flow felt much better because of the improvement. I was happy to see that the editing on Hurt Bank was much tighter.

I really enjoyed this novella. Very entertaining and left me wanting more. I can’t wait to see what happens in the 4th and final book of the series.

Let The Game Begin!
As Always, Viewer Discretion IS Advised

This is more than just an extreme horror series. The story is great, and there were twists I did not see coming.
I'm obsessed with the characters, (especially Damon), and I'm already sad knowing that the series is about to end!
On with the show...
I made some notes while reading the episodes of Hurt Bank, and I laughed when I looked back at E4. The contestant banked $100,000 for three rounds that I'd do for a hundred bucks right now. Of course he chose to continue - who wouldn't?! Well... round four made up for everything 🤢 Keep that money, Tony - you're a better man than I!!
Evelyn was an amazing contestant, too. 70 years old, and doing it for her hubby - soo extremely sweet, and I felt so sad for her. But, her exit interview proves she's a rock star! I love this character!

I can't wait to read ROLL CREDITS, but at the same time, I'm disappointed that the ride is almost over. I really look forward to reading more from this author!

This is the third book in the the horror Deadly Reality TV Series. It can be read as a standalone, but is better when read as a series.

This book is intended for mature audiences as contains scenes of blood and gore.

Twisted TV producer Damon Dahmer is back full of painful ideas for his contestants. But Damon also has some personal issues to resolve he wants his estranged girlfriend Destiny back. And someone calling themselves Mr. Cyber has shown a masked Damon killing one of his 'play things ' on the dark web. This reader can imagine what's in store for Mr.Cyber. Then there is poor Mary, Damon's long suffering colleague ....well I'am sorry but I'm going to tell you any more because that would spoil the story for you my dear readers.

Sea Caummisar has created a unique and different kind of series which will appel to horror fans. Even though I'm looking forward to the last series it be will sad to see the series end

Pretty sure I am going to {not Heaven} after reading these books.
Take everything I wrote in my reviews for books #1 and #2 in this series and multiply it by 10 for this one.

It's extreme. Extreme graphic. Extreme violence. Extreme nausea. You cannot sugar coat ANYTHING in this book.

I keep asking myself the same question over and over. WHY am I reading this? I still don't like it. This series is so disturbing but I have to see this through to the end. lol

These books are short so they are quick but...damn...my stomach is queasy.

And yes, I have a bit of gratitude knowing the next book is the last one.

Our twisted Damon is back again for another book that takes us further into his creepy dark mind! The author presents us with some wonderful characters on this game show, along with some sweet insights as to why they are participating. This had me glued to my seat, strange as I’m aware that if it was a film, I’d be hiding behind my hubby during most of it! You need to read this from the start, why? because it’s brilliant and you don’t want to miss any of it!

Wanting more...

Self-mutilation, large amounts of money, torture; what more could you want?!?! Yet there's a twist- there's a love story that intwines 4 people whose paths are all entangled together. David the mysterious stranger that captured Mary's heart, Destiny the reformed addict prostitute, and of course the star, Damon. Who is this dark boss that haunts Damon through David? What is his/her ultimate end goal? Will Destiny and her baby survive??? Goodness so many questions! I'm so ready for the next installment! On to the next one!

Excellent

The more you read the more you are immersed into the story and get excited to what is going to happen next. It's an exciting read with a great storyline and lots of blood and gore that has you squirming inside. I can't wait to find out who is watching Damon and instructed.david, what Damon will do about Matt and destiny. So much to grip onto. Definitely recommend. I'm off to read the next instalment!

This is another awesome episode of horrific reality TV, the 3rd in this series. They just keep getting better and better. Start with #1 but it doesn't matter if you just read this one. It is absolutely crazy, twisted and fabulous.

I received this book from the author for free and I am voluntarily providing an honest review.

This is the third book in the series. These books are right in the middle of a horror genre. The basic concept is very believable, that people will do almost anything for money. Make that anything!. This is not my normal style of reading, but it did hold my attention and fills your mind with images. Not happy ones. Enjoy

As I've already read the first two books of this series it was a no brainer to read Deadly Reality TV Series Book #3. It's not a standalone book and has to be read in order. But wow it's worth it.

I love thus series

I've read many if Sea's books. I may love the serious more than Raised by a serial killer. I think this series has a better story to gore ratio. I'm tempted to say I'm her #4 fan...

This series is consistently horrific, but the torture scenes would lose interest if it weren't for the developing characters and relationships. There's also a mystery about who is pulling the strings behind the scenes. Intriguing!

What a great series. I’m so sad to start the next one knowing it’ll be the last book.

Damon is really losing it. I’m worried about Mary and Destiny now. What are his plans?

Even better than the first two in the series. Be sure to start from the beginning of the series and read or listen to all of them successively. The series reads as one long book. Damon's fetish gets worse. Destiny gets an upgraded role, and some twists are thrown into this book. My wife and I listened to this one while driving home to get away from Hurricane Helene. It definitely broke up the tension.
