Personally, I love books that push me out of my comfort zone and leave me feeling uneasy. There is blood, gore and perversions that will leave you feeling like you need to bleach your eyeballs to erase what you just read. It is definitely not for the faint of heart. If you’re looking for a book with shock value, this is your book. I wanted to cover my eyes at some of the horrific scenes that played out. I spent a lot of time cringing while reading this story. The characters were vividly depicted and the gloomy subterranean world was almost tangible. Now that I’ve got my rant about the typos out of the way, I want to reemphasize that this had the makings of a great dark story. It took what could’ve been a great read and downgraded it to an “okay” read for me. So, while this story may have had potential to be a 4-star or 5-star read, the lack of editing was a major downer for me. Similarly, “transpire” and “conspire” are not synonymous. I would expect that before publication, somebody reading this should know the difference between “passed” and “past”. I’m not a grammatical expert by any means, but the number of proofreading oversights in this book was distracting. Perhaps you’ve been transpiring with him the entire time.’ I blinked through the news, not able to contain my shock. It had everything I’d normally love in a story, but it was sadly overshadowed by a plethora of typos, misused/incorrect words, etc. This book had incredible potential to be a phenomenal, dark story. Why? Quite simply because the editing, or lack there of, was atrocious. However, while this book definitely delivered on all of those accounts, I still couldn’t bring myself to give it more than three stars.
In fact, the more disturbing and depraved, the more I usually love it. As all of my friends know, I love a dark, twisted story.
