And if she ever left me? I would burn the whole goddamned world to ash."

If you liked Maave, Mary, Satara, and Patrick, just wait til you meet Jessie! Hysterical was everything I want and need in a book. Unhinged, female rage, raunchy, brutal, savage, dark feminine energy told from an unreliable narrator. - Spooky_Bookworm
Sex, drugs, blood, and female rage… literally everything you could possibly need for a solid horror book. One of the best books I’ve read all year. - Kayleigh Marie, Goodreads
This book is intense, much like how the main character is described throughout. It's also deranged, intoxicating and brutal!

I went into this wanting the vibe of Boy Parts by Eliza Clark, but honestly, this was even better! There was just something so visceral and thought-provoking here, with scenes that will definitely stick with me.

Amber Dean’s writing is sharp and immersive, drawing the reader straight into the emotional and mental turmoil at the heart of the story. What stood out most was how controlled and deliberate the pacing felt, allowing the intensity to rise naturally while never losing momentum. The story does not rely on cheap shocks but instead digs into discomfort, fear, and instability in a way that feels raw and powerful. This was one of those reads that completely consumed my attention, leaving me unsettled and thinking about it long after I finished. It was gripping, unsettling, and incredibly well executed.
