MY REVIEW
OMG! I LOVE the cover and the title….well, it says it all. I knew I had to have it!
Brutal. Bloody. Savage.
An open basement door.
A beach ball.
She was six years old when she ‘met’ her first woman.
Her favorite toy was no longer. Would she be punished for destroying it?
Her daddy had changed…become mean.
Her father writes for the Harlington Post. At first the article would start out innocuous, then take a darker turn. Like the cat that falls out of a tree and is OK, but the boy that tries to save it falls and breaks his arm.
I felt the book could go one of three ways: Become him. Leave him. Kill him.
I quickly became immersed in the story of Katelyn Deason. My heart went out to her. At six years old, she can’t fight back. Even though I loved the story, I felt there were no surprises for me. The writing flowed smoothly. Katelyn grew older. I couldn’t imagine tip toeing around the house, flinching at just the sight of her daddy, no mommy, no friends, being bullied.
I do wonder what happened to her mother, but I think it is pretty easy to surmise her demise. Why does no one come to her aid? Her daddy is a sweet talker, a charmer…until he isn’t.
My Daddy The Serial Killer is the only book I see by Cindy Kovacik, but I must say she did a superb job of grossing me out, pissing me off and keeping me entertained (don’t judge me).
I voluntarily reviewed a free copy of My Daddy The Serial Killer by Cindy Kovacik.
GOODREADS BLURB
Katelyn Deason was young, naive, and innocent at six years old.
That is, until she made the mistake of descending those cellar steps and viewing the first of many horrors down below.
You see, her father wasn’t who she thought he was. He wasn’t the loving and “normal” daddy that all the other kids had. He was very different.
She soon realizes how different as the years pass and unspeakable things begin to happen.
Will Katelyn be able to cling to her sanity after witnessing all of Daddy’s horrors?
ABOUT CINDY KOVACIK
Words cannot express how much I love the horror genre. I have finally accomplished a life long goal of writing a horror novel and getting it published. It took a long time and a lot of hard work but was worth it in the end. I am a 35 year old mother who likes to push herself to always do better and work harder. Now that I have a published book, I would like to start writing book #2. My biggest influences have been Stephen King and Edgar Allen Poe. I have been reading and writing since I was a little girl and I hope to continue as I get older and wiser.
