Chilling: It gave me the creeps. Into the minds of a serial rapist/killer, victim that got away after five years, officer trying to find the killer.
I loved this book and had a hard time putting it down the first night because I needed to go to bed. The scariest thing about this book is that it could be sooo real because there are really crazy ass wacko’s like Carl and Grady out there in the world. Girls like Olivia, Lucy and Jen are getting abducted and tortured like that way to often.
Think I will check out the authors other books now.
First I have read of this author. I will be looking for more books. Good character building throughout
It is one of those books that I picked out and didn’t have a clue what it was about or if I would like it, but I couldn’t put it down. I finished it in 4 days!! You just have to know ….. read it to find out what I am talking about!!!
Great writing, horrific story. Kept me guessing until the end
Good book. It really kept you thinking!
Too much blood and gore which doesn’t really need to be included. Story was interesting.
Couldn’t put it down.
Good characters with a nice twist at the end!
Loved it. Great serial killer twists.
First time I couldn’t figure out the bad guy. Very suspenseful.
I couldn’t put the book down.
Well worthy of the genre!
Kept me interested easy to read
This was a great read…very disturbing in the brutality that people are capable of, but very believable. That is why it was so disturbing.
I got this as an Amazon Freebie. These books are used to while away my wait times. This book was finished during my own time, it was an enjoyable read.
This book kept me guessing..I thought I had it figured out who the Jackal was several times. Compelling, original story with lots of twists!
Loved it!!! Really made you think – what would I do????
OMG, This book, can I just start by saying Doll House was an intense read, you will need a strong stomach to get through the earlier chapters, so be aware you are reading a HORROR!!! book and if this is not your thing well you have been warned.
That being said I do love this genre and I am a sucker for the blood and gore and psychological warfare that comes with these type of stories (much to the other half’s dismay when I make him sit through the latest horror flick) I loved Doll House. From the opening innocent lines that could be from any YA novel of bunnies and rainbows and that first magical day at university, where Olivia’s dad & uncle leave her to take her first tentative steps into the world of adult responsibility and then BAM!!!!
We are plunged into another story one of such extremes and the most awful god awful depravities, snatched off the street, Olivia’s world has imploded and her whole existence now revolves around the whims of her two heinous kidnappers the Jackel and the Gorilla.
Raped and subjected to the most extreme torture which involves lobbed off body parts, you would think that this is the point of this tale, but it’s not. Dolls house shows us what happens when the unthinkable occurs, how the human psyche can still endure after five years of captivity, the reserves of spirit needed to escape and also rescue others along the way just WOW and this is where our tale really begins Olivia now free from her pink prison hopes her nightmare is over but it is truly only just beginning.
Yes Doll House is graphic and extreme but honestly, this is what originally attracted me to this, The rape in this is only implied and we do not experience it happening so though we know it’s occurred it truly makes it a lot easier to read about, I would have found graphic rape scenes harder to stomach than the removing of body parts, this was YUCK but was a much easier pill to swallow in my opinion .
so in conclusion, very gripping graphic writing that pulled me in, kept my interest, and I read in a very short time, downsides for me were very few, I felt the ending was a bit disjointed with not enough closure and I did kind of guess who the bad guy was, but this was right near the end and so didn’t take away from my enjoyment a tall.
I received a free e-copy of this e-book from NetGalley for a review and this is my own honest opinion.
