Guillotine

By: Delilah S. Dawson

Narrated by: Elisabeth Ashby

The Menu meets Ready or Not in this dark tale of opulent luxury and shocking violence from the New York Times bestselling author of Bloom.

Thrift fashionista Dez Lane doesn't want to date Patrick Ruskin; she just wants to meet his mother, the editor-in-chief of Nouveau magazine. When he invites her to his family's big Easter reunion at their ancestral home, she's certain she can put up with his arrogance and fend off his advances long enough to ask Marie Caulfield-Ruskin for an internship someone with her pedigree could never nab through the regular submission route.

When they arrive at the enormous island mansion, Dez is floored-she's never witnessed how the 1% lives before in all their ridiculous, unnecessary luxury. But once all the family members are on the island and the ferry has departed, things take a dark turn. For decades, the Ruskins have made their servants sign contracts that are basically indentured servitude, and with nothing to lose, the servants have decided their only route to freedom is to get rid of the Ruskins for good . . .

Contains mature themes.

One of the best revenge story!

Although the story was short, it was definitely memorable. I almost DNF this, but I glad I didn't. Great voiceover artist and intriguing storytelling of feminine rage and their graphic, gory revenge against their abusers.

A horror worth listening to!

This book was insane. If you're a beginner to horror, I would not get my feet wet with this one. There were moments when I literally could feel the nausea creeping in. The narrator did a great job at capturing every character and telling the story.

Frantic run for your lives

The glamour, murder, and money. Held my attention and my work day ran screaming by. it was perfect.

Such delicious horror!

A terrific romp through the secret hideaways of the rich and powerful — and what happens when the bill comes due.

Surprising little gem!

It is definitely on the shorter side but this hooked me in immediately! I went in this book blind and I just found it to be a fun ride! Entertaining for sure!!!
