I received a free copy of this book from the author in return for an honest review.
This story had an interesting premise, and could have been among my favorite reads of the year, but it didn't live up to expectations. Our protagonist, Deyanira, did not come across as a sympathetic figure, and without a character to root for, the story became more of a "What now?" tale. Moira's role and past could possibly make a good book, if her beginnings could be explored.
The hardest part of this book to get through was the utter lack of editing, with excess words, wrong word usage and even the incorrect character name being used in spots. I don't know if the author was racing a deadline or not, but the quality of this book was an injustice to those who bought it.
I'm giving the book a 3-star review, rounded up from 2.5, due to the potential for the story, but taking away 1.5 stars for the editorial damage done to this book.

This is the second book that I read by Hayley Faye and I have to admit that she truly knows how to write and captivate a reader. Hack: The Inhumane is perfect for all the ghotic lovers and it all starts with a creepy cover. Hayley writing is complex and will leave you astonished with the darkness of some moments and how faith on the other hand can be so wonderful. The human being won’t take chances when it comes to survival.
Our main character, Deyanira, has gone through a lot and receives the perfect job opportunity, we always learn, it is important to not trust blindly. We should always be aware of what is happening and Deyanira will find out that fame and power isn’t everything and in the middle of the highest classes, there is always secrets and darkness.
Another thing that I enjoyed is how Hayley described the high class as shallow and quite animalesque people. During the first dinner we could see that people just wanted to make a show and the way they spoke was basically childish. Just one more point to the idea that money isn’t everything. Who said that fiction couldn’t open our eyes and make us truly think? During the whole book we feel empathy towards her and most of the times I just wanted to help her to become free.
Don’t expect this book to be a simple gothic book, because you will find so many different topics: fame, love and exploitation. You can expect a roller coaster of emotions. Believe me when I tell you that it is addictive! It is the best book for horror lovers. Extra pro is that it is a short story.

Horror in the deepest part of the soul and mind... does torture might have a 'good' reason? An explanation or an excuse? Petrifing narrative in constant action .. and you wanting to know more.. but can you manage..... Absolutely recommend this book.
