I just finished the Tooth Fairy by Davide Taristano
Johnny Hawk decides to leave his life behind and takes his dad's classic car on a roadtrip to start his life over. On the way he picks up a hitchhiker, who sees he is in desperate need of a dentist. Upon arriving in New Mexico Johnny meets the beautiful Wendy Jag who extracts his problem tooth.
Fireworks and passion fly and Johnny feels some serious contentment.
Little does he know that the woman he has strong feelings for has a dark and disturbing past... One he starts to discover when he finds himself drugged and strapped to her dentist chair....
I was seriously thirsting for something dark and sadistic and this book delivers some seriously horrific twists. Digging into the darkest psyche of a seriously deranged woman, had me flipping pages like a maniac!
I loved that the book didn't need to dig into any of the characters' backgrounds to be a really solid read. I would have liked a bit more on Wendy and her father and how she ended up the way she did as I kind of feel that it was left a bit more abstract than I would have liked but there was gore galore and honestly, it was one hell of a read without it anyway.
If you love a book loaded with gore and will keep you on the edge of your seat, then this is the book for you!
4.5 stars!
Thank you Netgalley and Davide Taristano for my ARC copy in exchange for my honest review
