Wicked Fallout

Pretty wicked book #2

"Convicted of six murders when she was just fifteen, the notorious Ryann Wilkanson hasn’t been able to act on her darkest, deadliest urges for twelve years. She’s exhausted her appeals and has little hope of ever getting out of prison and back to hunting.

Until a media-hungry legal team mounts a campaign to do the impossible—get her immediately released with a commuted sentence.  

Forensic psychiatrist Nancy Clafin has mere weeks to evaluate Ryann’s current mental state against her grisly past to determine if she’s changed. But under the shadow of her own questionable history, it’s not easy to separate her personal life from her professional duty.

At least that’s what Ryann is counting on.

Behind the cold steel doors of a Colorado maximum-security prison, will Nancy find a cold-blooded killer or a newly redeemed woman determined to right her past wrongs?" (netgalley)


I didn't get to read the first series in this book, but you can read this novel as a stand alone. 

We follow the now incarnated Ryann, who when she was just 15 years old killed 6 people in cold blood. We find out her father was a cop, one of the police officers searching for this crazed serial killer.

Ryann's lawyers are trying to get her case over turned since she was a minor when this all went down, and her first legal team botched everything up. 
She has to meet with a doctor who is doing an evaluation on her to see if she has changed her ways since she was younger.  Except Ryann is a master at this game, she can trick anyone in believing she has changed her ways and she is not that person anymore... 


Fast Forward: Ryann gets released and once again at her old ways- she is out for blood- and the first person she comes to see is her doctor's daughter at her own house. 

This story had it all, murder, mystery, thrill, and heart pounding page after page. You will be dying for the next series in this book because you can't believe everything that goes down and the ending ahh!!!

Lustmord: Anatomy of a Serial Butcher

One of the most gruesome and sickening books i have ever read!

As you can see from the cover of this book it has that typical "scary looking" clown wielding a butcher knife. When i first saw this and read the description i was thinking "Ok, no big deal, might be a little scary and messed up... nothing i can't handle...." YEAH RIGHT! i was so wrong with my first thoughts!
For one thing the very first page of the book is a warning- yes a WARNING page- pretty much read at your own risk, the author and publisher are not liable for any depression, suicidal thoughts, failed relationships, etc.. caused by reading this book.

This book is so sick and twisted i don't know anyone who would enjoy reading this.
Cecil Omar Biggs is the "clown" we see on the front cover- he is a serial killer/rapist but a true wolf in sheep clothing because he portrays him self as a bishop! We learn about his horrible childhood which has lead him down this murderous road into adulthood.

We only get a quick glimpse as to why he decided to become a bishop and open this so called "church", Supposedly one of his "victims" escaped after being held captive inside a coffin for 10 days... she pressed charges against him and he spent some time in jail to come out a new man supposedly.

Now in this church of Bigg's, it is not open to anyone, you have to have "special invite only" meaning unless he wants to kill and rape you, you will not be getting in.
He has "board members" down in the basement with his other victims, they are all either homeless, or mental patients that were released and had no where to go. But he calls them his board members for the government, because he gets a write off come tax season.

Now lets get to the part that turned my stomach--
The details used to describe the killing and torture went too far- i tried to disassociate myself by just keep saying it's only a book but that did not help.  Every time Bigg's captured a new victim we would hear about the gruesome details of how he went about raping them- if he could "get it up", then when he was threw with them how he would go about killing them, most of the time he took his chainsaw and cut them up into little pieces, then chopped the head off... This wasn't the hardest part to read though. No it was what he did with all the blood and body parts that will make you sick...

He and his "board members" would drink the blood of the victim, and the body parts? Well lets say they enjoyed that in the cooks famous Jambalaya, or Kebab. And anything they couldn't eat they would burn in the furnace.

The smell not only penetrated the house into the neighborhood, but it stuck in the walls of the house for anyone who walked in could smell it. It even stuck to them Bigg's and his partner Muck (who helped hi capture his victims and kill them).

The entire time reading this 10,000 page book i wasn't sure how they were going to end it, since it is only Book 1 of 2, but the ending was left with Bigg's bathing in a tub of blood from his most recent kill, and Muck throwing up because he aint "no vampire."

I will not be reading the second book, i couldn't wait to finish this one and i honestly want to forget about it veery quickly.

The Face Behind the Mask Review

No one truly knows what is hiding behind the big red smile and the white face paint of the clown mask... You can be anyone, a friendly clown? a serial killer? a simple minded child?
It's 1950 and the circus is in town, a young boy has made a clown suit for himself and he's going to run off to the circus, except his parents will have no part in it... So he takes care of them- Now he's joined the circus and has become the most famous clown Tufty... But something is burning inside him- some desire he cant ignore...
Fast forward to current time in England, a woman named Annie and her husband Will- both police officers, Annie is home on materniety leave with their 8 month old son, while they don't go into detail she had a near death experience with a serial killer before and she has now been able to tap into a sixth sense and has the ability to see and speak to the dead. Her husband Will is still working in the department as head detective in every single murder case that is springing up in their small town. While Will is working the murders Annie is home trying to figure out who the ghost in her home is- the ghost will not speak to her, and will not show him/herself. A string of murders and a new ghost has shown... connected somehow?
The book switches between current time and Summer 1950 but it moves very smoothly and you will not expect the ending- total twist that you never see coming- and once you do get to the end all the little clues throughout the book all come together and make so much sense.
This is defiantly a book for the thriller, suspense lover!!
* Based in England but reading for American readers was pretty easy- some words just had to be changed to the way we say them- Arse (ass) and Coppers (cops) and i found that it helped to understand a little better*

Don't wake up Review

The worst things that's ever happened to you... and no one believes you. The description caught my attention right away on this book- you wake up tied to an operating table, naked and you hear a unrecongizabble voice above you, the voice says what does "no" mean? Showing you your "slutty" choice of clothing... He wants you to say yes... then next thing you know your waking up in the hospital... You try to tell everyone, the police, hospital workers, your boyfriend that something terrible happened, but they don't believe you. They all believe you have lost your mind... 

Sounds crazy right? I thought so too, i found i did enjoy the book but took me a while to find myself really interested in it. It is based in the UK, so here for American readers points were a bit difficult to understand. I also found the book lacked the action, i was hoping for something more- while it did have a crazy story line- and people kept being found dead and overall crazy story it missed something. I also was disappointed with who turned out to be the serial killer/ kidnapper. I was actually hoping for it to be someone else, because of points made throughout the book... Turns out the person i thought was just a true jerk. LOL. Glad i read this book but not something i would read again ...
