I can't wait to read this book! This is right up my alley, this is my favorite genre. It's a talent to be able to write your villains in a sympathetic light, kudos to the author on that score. I love to delve into a great psychological horror story. Thanks for the great review! I'm glad you enjoyed the book.

The book sounds utterly thrilling, and I have to say that the cover accurately reflects that. Consciously, I never want to empathize with a brutal killer but, in a way, it makes the book all the better when I can. Thank you for the detailed and insightful review.

Not really into horror. But I find this review very interesting. Makes me curious about this genre in a way i haven't before.

Although the cover is very eerie, I'm not sure the graphic violence and sex I can deal with. Congrats to the author on BOTD.

This book sounds really interesting to me. It sounds like the author really gets you to connect with Sophia despite her unconventional methods.

Something that makes us question our judgement of murderers as evil certainly sounds like an intriguing piece of work! I think I will enjoy reading this one!

The key ingredient of the products of this company is extracted from the dead human bodies. Sophia finds real comfort in killing humans, bathing in their blood, and using fat of their bodies for creating various products for her company.
This is so scaring.
