Review: Love Story With a Twist
Rating: 5 out of 5

The book, Slasherazzi by Daniel Kaine, was recommended to me by a friend. This, along with the appealing title and eye-catching cover had me thinking “ok I’ll try it.” I devoured it in 24 hours. I could not put it down, and when I HAD to put it down, it was occupying space in my brain. When I finished this morning, my first thoughts were OHMYGOD. And then WHATTHEHECK??! I was equally entertained and grossed out by this story. It is not recommended for those with a weak stomach; this story could have been written by the master of horror, Stephen King himself. Please step away if you can’t handle gore. That being said, it’s going to sound strange for me to say it’s also a love-story, of the strongest, most romantic kind. Unfortunately, I can’t say too much more without giving away the plot. The two main characters, Alex and Vince, are both career men who are dedicated to their jobs. Alex is with the police department and Vince is a reporter with the local newspaper. There is a sadistic murderer on the loose in town and Alex is heading up the Task Force to find the killer, as Vince hangs onto his on-again, off-again boyfriend, Alex’s coattails to hopefully get the scoop. I am blown away by this story. Please heed my warning, and if this sounds like something you can handle, check it out. You will NOT be disappointed. 5-Star read for me; highly recommended. Thank you Daniel Kaine, for a highly disturbing yet thoroughly entertaining ride.
