Maeve Fly

So, this is a debut novel, and every indication has this one being a female version of "American Psycho" After reading this book it is indeed heavily influenced by that novel. In fact, there is a scene where she happens upon the actual "American Psycho" novel, and it is inflamed by a sun ray. Just like that scene from "Raiders of the Lost Arc"

The first part is just getting into the mind of Maeve Fly. She is a 20ish year-old female living in LA and working at Disneyland. At night she goes out with "friends" and reads her books at the bar. We get into her mind and it's hilarious. Until she goes batshit crazy........

LOL. That's where this book takes off. She either turns into a total psychopath or was just one all along and slowly peeled off the layers until the killings started. And start they did....... This book is a truly gory, horrifying, insane ride of a story. You will never want to get on a bus again.

Usually in my reviews I like to give a really good synopsis, but I don't think I'm doing that here. I went in blind and that is what I recommend. If you like brutal violence and tons of sex, then I say just go for it. I will say books like this aren't normally my thing but this one is done so well that I enjoyed every bloody part of it.

That bus scene though.... I was turning my head like a bad movie!

I really appreciate Tor Publishing Group for giving me an advance reader copy to read for free for my honest opinion and it has a publication date of June. 6, 2023.
