Black-humor, irony, and a dark plot that twists and turns will be a satisfying read for most. I admit it, I didn't like the general prose style of this author. I didn't love the crazy protagonist or the dialogue generally:"Feel the power of the pie! Feel the power of the pie!" ~The GoodReads Killer: A Revenge FantasyI generally like books that, no matter how dark the story or genre, uplift, inspire or evoke intense tender emotions; this book does none of those things.This book delivers exactly what is promised with its title. This novelette is a "Revenge Fantasy." However, the plot is funny, in a horrible black-humor that makes one laugh nervously, while shaking their head, kind of way.The truth is that bad, or even luke-warm, reviews hurt Indie authors and publishers terribly. What is worse is the hatemongers that certain web-sites, particularly Amazon-GoodReads, seem to spawn.My 5 stars are for the author's bravado, clever plotting, love of writing and willingness to stand up and call a spade a spade (all while knocking them dead, metaphorically), even though I personally couldn't finish this book.If you like dark humor, and revenge fantasies, you may love this book. Happy reading~*
