The Psycho Collection is no longer available as a boxed set. I am reviewing the books for the Blogger Shame Challenge, because it is way overdue. I read the books in 2016 and will be reviewing them individually.
I only find the audiobook and paperback for Psycho Inside Me available at this time. I don’t know how I ended up reviewing Dictating Death on 2.5.15, finished reading Psycho Inside me on 5.18.16 and Watch Me Burn on 5.21.16. I think because they can stand alone and I reviewed Dictating Death before the boxed set came out, which is no longer available.
MY REVIEW FOR PSYCHO INSIDE ME
Action from the getgo.
The sheriff’s son, Deegan, helps the preacher’s daughter cover up the death of bad boy Bobby. They were friends, but this changed their relationship, brought them closer.
Her instinct was to take his ring for a trophy, but Deegan had a better idea. A tattoo.
The death changed her and now she is on the run. She is fueled by nightmares of Bobby, but determined not to be caught.
Are monster born or raised? That age old question, what creates a monster? I am always curious about what drives people to do some of the most heinous acts to others.
Justice doesn’t always come to the rescue and sometimes taking the matter into your own hand is the only answer. I do believe the world has a lot more grey, than black and white.
I didn’t see the direction Bonnie R Paulson was going to take with Psycho Inside me, but I do love the Bonnie and Clyde vigilante aspect. I can always relate to a vigilante and I guess that says something about me. LOL She is a badass psycho and I love her…and her boyfriend too. I feel her need to take down the bullies and pedophiles that prey on children. They do deserve the worst that can be heaped on them…and her name is Cassie.
She trained. She is only a young teenager, but she becomes a predator, created by those whotreated her as prey. I love how she is changing from her 13 year old innocent ways, forcing herself to become a calculating weapon of justice. Fine by me is she wipes out the perverts. You may feel the same way after reading about the degenerates.
The world is dark, with rays of sun shining through when the clouds lift in her mind.
How will this end? Will she be killed in one of the attacks? I want it to end well for her, regardless of what she has done. I love a characters that can win me over so completely.
Molestation and sexual assault are difficult subjects to face and talk about, but Bonnie R Paulsonwants you to know…YOU ARE NOT ALONE..you can survive.
Psycho Inside Me by Bonnie R Paulson….BLEW MY MIND.

MY REVIEW FOR DICTATING DEATH (wrote on 2.5.15)
I’m going over the falls and into deep water. And I go willingly.
Maria hated waiting for the death part. The fun was in the lead-in to the final act – the revenge.
The creepiness of the cover drew me in and after reading the blurb, I was hooked. Knowing what’s inside only whet my appetite for blood. And I got it. Right from the getgo. From the opening pages the knife was cutting, the blood flowing, the torture beyond belief. It wasn’t enough to kill. It must be a long, drawn out, painful and excruciating death. And Maria reveled in it.
Samantha and Maria are at odds with each other. Samantha wants to love Doctor Luke Lawson, while Maria wants to kill him. Call them the Threat Specialists – one is proud, the other horrified. What is the end game? What creates someone so twisted, reveling in brutality, savagery, enjoying the kill? Maybe you will find out…if you read Dictating Death by Bonnie R Paulson

MY REVIEW FOR WATCH ME BURN
Levi had been burned in the romance department, so when Megan hit on him, he did all he could to avoid her. But she wanted him and friendship was not enough. Even though Chelsea had already staked her claim.
How far will she go to hold onto Levi? Are they living a story of Fatal Attraction?
Levi and Chelsea’s relationship was toxic. Now he feels he must remain along…hiding.
When he saw the FOR RENT sign, I thought, “OH NO!” The game is on.
Such a twisted, perverted definition of love, which could turn fatal. Will it? And for whom?
Stalking. Abuse. Rape.
Pathetic excuse for a man. How can he be ‘trained’ to accept his role? Can you fix what is so badly broken?
Not enough time passed for Chelsea to win Megan’s trust, but the story is short, so I can see why things happend so fast. I would love to see Bonnie R Paulson flesh the story out and take it to an even deeper, darker level. BUT, I love it. Twisting and turning to the end.

GOODREADS BLURB
Everyone has a little Psycho inside…
***BOX SET***
Psycho Inside Me
I
killed my first victim at thirteen years old – my age, not his. He was
going to rape me, him and a couple of his friends. And so, I killed him.
And then… I killed again. And again.
At seventeen, I’m killing
four to six times a year – maybe more. Don’t stress out. I only go
after the pedophiles and rapists. There are more out there than I could
cover in a lifetime.
Saying I did this on my own would be
selfish. Enforcing justice holds a glory all its own. But now, my
lifelong friend and backup, Deegan, has been arrested. I have to decide
if I want to give myself up and take his place or leave him with all the
damning evidence. I don’t want to stop killing. But if I let him take
the fall, I can’t kill anymore. And I need to keep doing that.
But the worst part of it all? I love him.
Dictating Death
Samantha wants to love him.
Maria wants to kill him.
Dr.
Luke Lawson has no idea that the girl he’s dating has split
personalities fighting to control her body. Samantha must keep Luke safe
at all costs.
If Samantha wins, Maria will die and disappear forever – taking Samantha with her.
If Maria wins, Dr. Lawson will die and she and Samantha will move on to the next doctor – the next kill.
But Luke is special.
He could save Samantha from herself… but only if Samantha can save him.
Watch Me Burn
Levi
I’ve been in love and it hurts.
We hurt each other.
On purpose.
I can’t escape the guilt.
Megan
I don’t want to be just friends with Levi.
But I will be.
He’s been hurt before and I just want to be there for him.
Someone needs to be on his side.
Chelsea
Levi Cole is mine.
I want him.
She can’t have him.
She needs to die.
