This sounds a interesting read. I love books that let the reader connect with the characters. Not sure if I will ever use cosmetics again though if I read this! You make the story sound like a gripping, intense novel.

Wonderful review. When you can relate to the characters and not want one to die then the author has engaged the reader, when this happens it's usually a good book. Spohia using parts from her murder victims in her cosmetics is creepy and just my type of read. Congrats on being BOTD.

I have downloaded the book. It sounds very different in many ways. A female serial killer is rare and the use she makes of the bodies, while gross, is unique. Good review, thanks.

This sounds like a very interesting book. I want to know more about how she turns people into soap.

An interesting review. A strangely compelling book to read. The story and characters being out of the norm.

Author has taken up a reality based issue. Drug and cosmetic companies often involve in such heinous crimes. The mentality which works behind it is the same as shown by Sophia. So it's a good review.

The narrative marches well with the book cover, though very disturbing. It makes me think much about cosmetics.

Good job on the review! Interesting book, though I think it's a little bit too gory for my taste.
