"The Hate" by S.L. Pierce is a story of revenge after the justice system fails. I like the fact that the protagonist isn't given too much detail. It makes her more recognizable in an odd sort of way and everyone can identify with her more easily. She is, in effect, every mother who has last a child to a predator. This could have been a long boring novel. Ms. Pierce had the sense to keep it short and stark and quite effective."Manhunt", a bonus story, is similar in it's brevity but lacks something. Despite the nice twist at the end, I found myself a bit unsatisfied with the story. Don't get me wrong. I enjoyed it. Just not as much as "The Hate"I will grab more offerings from this author. You should, too.
