Tim Miller is a new to me author whose books have quickly turned into little detours from my usual romance/kindle porn/urban fantasy/Dark Romance reads.

The first of his books that I read were from his "Country Club" series, and found them to be both filled with line crossing gore, and a story that was engaging.

Although Tim's books would be considered horror they don't scare. Really, the books are kind of like going to the roadside freakshow that you go to when the drive is long and you need a break from the norm.

Lady Cannibal is about Baily, a woman who learns at a young age that she has the ability to manipulate others to her own gain and amusement.

That she became a lawyer only to arm herself with a way of getting out the trouble her future no doubt holds, only shows the length that she goes to protect her ability to treat others like a kid who salts snails and pulls the wings off of fly's just because its fun to watch.

While fending off a would be date rapist Baily learns that she has a propensity for murder, and decides to see how far she can go and how much she can get away with. Thus to this end she manages to discover that she also has a taste for human flesh.

While Lady Cannibal is a short read, it is packed with extended scenes of torture that Eli Roth would be squirmy watching- that I used that comparison is actually a bit funny if you read the book.

There is no character development, nor invested interest in Baily or those she kills. Actually, I spent the book wondering when is she going to get caught, and being mildly surprised with the lines she skips happily over.

Although I really shouldn't be surprised but in the end no one is safe from her in the book. There are a few unintended victims, but really, the whole point was illistrating that Baily is aware that she is a psychopath and has no problems with it. She fully embraces her choices, and has no regrets or qualms offing old people and little children.

Like I said, this book and others written by Tim Miller (the shorter ones) are basically the roadside attractions that lure in weary road travelers looking for a brief break from the extended trips across long distances. You pull over, have a look and a giggle (that is if you are a sick and twisted person like myself), then get back to your intended destination.

Lady Cannibal and other Tim Miller books are Kindle Unlimited, so I had no problems giving them a read. The best way to know if you would like his books is if you like the film version of the genre. Do you like Hostel, or other Eli Roth books? You should like this.

I have to laugh about using Eli Roth as the borameter but no one else seemed to be comparible.

Thnak you to Goodreads for somehow getting me into this genre. ( )

If you need a horror fix, read this book! It's NOT for the faint of heart. Bailey likes to hurt people... A lot! This story takes you through the birth of a serial killer, with extremely graphic torture scenes, and a detailed accounting of her innermost thoughts, as she commits horrific acts of violence on her fellow man. A self-diagnosed sociopath, Bailey feels empty inside. This is her search for an inner purpose. A coming of age story with a bloody twist. ( )
