Five, effed up, crazy stars!! I loved this book! It was absolutely horrific in classic Ralston style, but so much more than I had imagined. Going on the title alone, I expected this to be a gruesome tale filled with sick, twisted pedophiles whose actions that I would find hard to stomach. Not really. There are some parts that were definitely disgusting, don't get me wrong, but the story's main focus is on revenge. And I loved every minute of it!! The storyline was compelling and there were even some twists thrown into the mix. I loved all of the song and movie references, too. I feel like they made the story seem less fictionalized. I wasn't expecting to enjoy this as much as I did, and I am so glad that I gave it a shot. I can't wait to see what he comes up with next!

Thank you to the author and NetGalley for granting me digital access in exchange for my honest review!

There seems to have been a great deal of talk about this book in all of my fb horror groups. And let me tell you the hype is real. Well written, and the gore and horror aren’t just for shock, it has its purpose and is done well. I loved this book far more than I expected to, and I’ll definitely be getting more Ralston’s books on my tbr after this.
