*I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review*Margaret has been diagnosed with a split personality, an evil alter ego which a love for violence and murder which sees Margaret locked up in a mental hospital. Candice is under control until a doctor changes the medication and Candice sees a chance to get free and start a new and bloody life.This was an entertaining and disturbing horror tale, more worth 3.5 stars than 3 to be honest. There is enough character depth to tell the story which is not always present in the short story format. It is not over descriptive. This author likes to tell the story without wasting words on things that don't matter, which is something that I like about his writing. He just gets on with the story and pulls you along with him. The anti-heroine Margaret is to be pitied as well as reviled. You can feel sympathy for her mind being taken over by the stronger personality, but you are just waiting and hoping for Candice to get what she deserves. It is an enjoyable and well written horror tale that will appeal to those who like horror and psychological thrillers.I don't have any negatives about the writing or the storytelling. I like the way this author develops his work and I very much look forward to reading full novels from him in the future, which I would not hesitate in reading. For the benefit of other readers, I will point out that this book contains violence, sexual elements and swearing, the type of which you would expect in this genre. None of this bothers me in the slightest or does anything to detract from the story. I just think it is helpful for other readers to know what to expect.Thanks to the author for sharing more of his work with me.
