Kitty Horror

Disclaimer: I received a copy of this book through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Michael is the lone survivor of serial killing clown, Orzo. Now an adult, he uses music to help him cope with the stress of his childhood but with the new DVD release of the Orzo Tv show he finds himself having to deal with the horror all over again, not all of it is just his imagination as people are getting bumped off left, right and centre and those closest to him are all potential targets. Is it a copycat or has Orzo come back from the grave?

Clowns are sure source of horror and this novella is no exception, there's some great action scenes in the latter half of the read and it features some pretty gruesome deaths. I had thought it was going to be a much slower book to get through as I was struggling a bit until I got a third of the way in. From then on it really picked up and was pretty fun as you try to figure out who the villain is. 

One of the main problems I had was that Michael didn't seem that sympathetic a character to me, you didn't get a lot of character information and he came across as sulky for the first part of the read. This may have been intentional so that the reader keeps him in mind as a suspect in the goings on but it kept me from connecting to him. With all that he had gone through as a kid i expected to feel more for him but in the end I didn't really care.

The writing style is also a little too much like screenplay, this wasn't a huge deal but it seemed to impede the flow of the read and didn't help me connect with the story.

Gripes aside, this was a fun way to spend a couple of hours, I'll be checking out some more of the authors work and would definitely recommend this.
