Well this series just keeps getting more and more twisted. I am really liking this series and will dive into the next one. My only complaint is that this series so far doesn't have as much violence and gore that I've been expecting but trust me when I say that there are plenty of triggers in this story. Sea Caummisar is such a great writer that the characters and the story still keep me turning pages and wondering what is going to happen next. 4 stars on this one. I'm hoping the violence is amped up in the next one.

Sea is going on a wacky turn with this book. First off ...TW this poor damn dog and cat. D is becoming quite the psycho and now she is hanging out with some extremely psychotic people to say the least. Not much more to say about this one and even though I gave this a 4 star it was a 4.5 for me ...I am interested in seeing where this goes since D has run away from home and is now part of a particular crowd ..

...on to #4...

I find Decide very confusing in this book. She’s suppose to be sweet 16 but yet at times she acts like she’s 30 and know it all. From her background and how she grew up it makes sense that she’s no longer sweet 16 naive girl. The author can’t seem to make up her mind if she wants her innocence or an adult who knows it all. One minute she’s like doing all teenage delinquent stuff the next she’s like acting dumb of what’s that?! Errrr doesn’t make sense take a side it’s very confusing. I found this volume a bit weird and didn’t enjoy her life very much. Hope the next one is better

Guys this book literally had me like 🫨 the whole time.

I knew this series was going to be a 'curiosity killed the cat' type until I reached my limit and didn't continue. Well, the cat (and the dog) sure were killed, the incest and sex cult arrived, and I am done with this series.

ok interesting… there’s a surprise uncle who SURPRISE!! is her half brother. her “pops” killed her bio dad who she thought was her gpa, had an affair (idk if it was consensual or not yet) with her mom and then her “pops” killed both her mom and her gpa and her gma hated her and wished for her death as a baby. i guess that’s why it makes sense as to why her gma was so mean to her when she was growing up. TICKLES!! ugh, so sad. stupid andrew. i guess it’s kind of good that he felt a bit of remorse, if he can even feel that, afterwards and let deicide bury him in the backyard and have a little memorial for him. steph randomly got killed. alec is in a cult and recruited deicide into it. this is all so weird, but i’m so intrigued.

Need some minus stars. Not for how ‘dark’ is it but for how shit it is

Would be in my DNR if I wasn’t this stubborn & it wasn’t (thankfully) so short. The interesting premise from book one nose dived into whatever the fuck that was besides incredibly poor, definitely unedited writing

[Mia-Soon · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book feels like its written by a 15 year old cringey, edgy teen on Tumblr back in the day.
It feels as if the author went "hmmm... How many crazy jaw dropping over the top things can I fit into one book". I definitely had a look on my face while reading a lot of this book unlike the other 2.
I think it's kind of insane how her dad went from shoving her in dog cages and burning her and severely abusing her, to her sneaking out and kind of doing whatever she wants? It was crazy going from her dad being so awful to ALMOST A TINY BIT likable? Especially when she's a teenager, the time when your child is most likely to make stupid decisions and rebel.
Lastly, her inner dialogue pisses me off. Does she need to ask just a string of 20 questions every page?
Am I going to finish reading all of them still? Yes....

unsure if I will keep going with this series because seriously wtffffff

[Bailey Sparaco · Rating 2 out of 5]

This one wasn’t as dark and had more of a plot to it, but it was very just meh. I like how the author adds in thoughts from the fmc, but it definitely didn’t sound like thoughts from a 16 year old. Felt very young and immature. Curious how it’s going to progress.

Just gets better and better…and weirder and weirder.

[Cocolici · Rating 4 out of 5]

⚠️ IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: This book is NOT for everyone. Please take the trigger warnings seriously before reading. ⚠️

If the previous books were about survival and realization, Age 16 is about evolution. Sea Caummisar takes the "coming-of-age" trope and douses it in gasoline. Deicide isn't just a victim anymore, she is a teenager carving out her own twisted identity in the shadow of her father's madness.

What I Loved 🖤
* The Warped "Growing Up" Seeing her navigate typical teenage milestones rebellion, secrets, seeking independence through the lens of her horrific upbringing is fascinating. She is becoming sharper, harder, and perhaps a little dangerous herself.
* Family Secrets: The introduction of the "Uncle" character throws a wrench into the already unstable dynamic between Deicide and her father, adding a layer of mystery and tension that keeps the pages turning.
* Shift in Power: At 16, Deicide is no longer the helpless toddler or the confused ten-year-old. She is starting to push back, sneak out, and test boundaries in a way that feels incredibly high-stakes given who her father is.

Verdict: A fantastic continuation that successfully pivots from "child in peril" to a dark character study of a young woman forged in fire. It sets the stage perfectly for the darker choices she will likely have to make as an adult.

Classic Sea Caummisar.

This book is well written, but nasty. In fact, it is way more disturbing than almost anything I've read, and I've read plenty in this genre, incuding Matt Shaw and Edward Lee.

I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone I know, and wouldn't admit to reading it with half of them. Still, I'm done, done, and I'm on to the next one.

[Carol Cooper · Rating 3 out of 5]

I don't know why I keep doing this to myself. I just keep reading them. Even though they tear me up inside. And yeah, it says extreme horror so I'm not even surprised. I'm just pissed at myself for continuing with the series. 🤦‍♀️

[Megan · Rating 4 out of 5]

That entire time reading I think I was saying wtf…
Sea you ma’am have a twisted mind. I see you 👀 I am absolutely addicted to this series after the third book.

Excuse me while I fly through the other 7!

[Nicki Thoirs · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a truly addicting series, I just had to know what happened next in Deicide journey!
With the addition of a cult in this story it just gets better! Looking forward to the next book, to see what Shananagains Deicide and Co will be getting up too!

[Stacey Piper · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow!!! This series is MIND BLOWING!!! I mean what the heck am I reading?!?!!

Um. Who’d have thought there was an even bigger wrong ‘un than Pops. Even gagged at one point (that’s a first) and thank the Lord I wasn’t at Persuasion Faction 🤢

[kayleigh bug · Rating 3 out of 5]

I have no words for this, took keeping in it the family to a new meaning

[Paige Kohanski · Rating 4 out of 5]

The cult aspect was an interesting turn 👀 excited to see where it goes

[⚠️🎇TriggerWarningEnthusiast🔖📚👸🏾 · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book was crazy AF, I expected it but uugghh.
🚨💡 spoiler 💡🚨
We lose Tickles and Deicide loses her virginity....
This child is so confused and her life has been so rough. She s now decided she wants her dad, Pops dead and I'm with her. I cannot wait to see how this ends and I wanna see Grams gone too. I'm not a fan of 'Uncle Alec', I see why he was in prison... Now with what he's just dragged Deicide into, he needs to take his ass back....
This is so demented..... It's most certainly holding my interest..
This author's mind is so dark, she'll have you clawing your way from the hole she dumped you into.

[Danielle Tropea · Rating 1 out of 5]

The Raised by a Serial Killer series has always lived in the bargain-bin basement of horror, but book three digs so deep it hits the earth’s molten core. This installment reads like Caummisar is a middle schooler doom-scrolling Wattpad at 3 a.m., chugging Red Bull, and throwing around random trigger warnings like “incest,” “cult life,” “daddy issues,” before finally just hitting publish as thy feel their sugar crash kicking in.

Calling this a plot is generous. The storyline dissolves faster than off-brand cotton candy in a rainstorm. One second it’s first person, then suddenly it’s third person, then I think we’re in second person?? My Kindle was like, “Please stop, I’m tired.”

And the shock value? Girl. Caummisar treats incest like it’s a coupon she’s determined to use before it expires. First she’s like, “Ooh is Deicide hooking up with her uncle?” and then BAM “SURPRISE! It’s actually her brother!” as if the reveal is supposed to make us clap. No ma’am. This isn’t extreme horror; this is extreme What the actual hell am I reading?

There is no reality where this book was edited. I doubt it was even reread. The plot holes are so big Deicide could fall through one and land in a better series. I’ve seen fanfiction written on cracked iPads with dying batteries that had better structure.

Finishing this book felt like a hostage situation where the only ransom was my remaining brain cells. The scariest part wasn’t the gore—it was me turning the final page and realizing I willingly chose this. Thank every deity imaginable that it was on Kindle Unlimited, because paying real money would’ve been my personal villain origin story.

And the biggest tragedy? The series could’ve been good. If Caummisar had stuck to book one’s premise and actually developed Deicide’s life instead of throwing spaghetti, incest, and random POVs at the wall to see what sticks, we might’ve had something. Instead we got the literary equivalent of a trash fire written on the back of a detention slip.

How this got published, I will never know. But I need a nap. And bleach for my brain.

Getting juicer & definitely more f*cked up as we go along! Onto the next.. 🙈
3.5 ⭐️

[Nessa · Rating 2 out of 5]

From the author afterword in Book 2 where she commented about how much she was looking forward to writing an older Deicide, I expected a lot more from this book. Instead, I thought this book was tamer than the first book. The continued inner monologue was a bad choice now that Deicide can take actions to show her thoughts. Instead, what happens goes along these lines: Person A says something. Deicide has an inner monologue about what that person just said, detailing every thing she is wondering about. Person B says something. Cue exactly the same inner monologue from Deicide. It got really frustrating. Then there were some strange inconsistencies at the end. Deicide learns that Grans didn’t want her, and proceeds to immediately disregard the 16 years of relationship she’s had with her to run off with her brother. We’re not in deep emotional character territory here (this IS splatterpunk), but if nothing really effects the main character, she’s going to get boring quickly - no matter how much the author tries to distract with gore. I’m probably going to check out the next book but this one has really lowered my expectations for the series.
