If you like stories that tell about feminine REVENGE (yes, in all caps) after the horrible things that have happened to these FMCs, this is your book. Even better about this book: the pr0ceeds go to 'Map Your Voice'. An anonymous nonprofit service for SA survivors worldwide.

These are the stories in this anthology:
#115 - Layla Moon
Hush now - SK Pryntz
Trigger point - Ivy Graves
Salvation is created - Sage RelleAnne
Burn - Emily Klepp
Mariticide - C.J. Rigss
Control - Licia Dawn

Now, about for these 7 stories: they are filled to the brim with women seeking and getting(!!) revenge. Mind your triggers for this anthology, there's a lot of them. These stories are short, unhinged, disturbing, bloody and you can bet your

“I want him to suffer. I want him to carry the same pain that he caused me to his grave.“
“Who the fuck said revenge was a dish best served cold? My revenge is on fucking fire! I’m serving it hot.”
“You smell tasty. I’m going to swallow you like I do an oyster. Straight down, and raw.”
“I do not know how my story will end, but I know one thing for certain. I will create my own salvation.”


I always struggle with rating and reviewing anthologies. I never know whether to review each story separately or the anthology as a whole. The stories in this one were really different from each other, but they all focused on female rage and strong, fierce FMCs.

I really enjoyed most of the short stories, but unfortunately, I ended up DNF’ing one.

My absolute favorite was Trigger Point by Ivy Graves. The FMC, Sylvia, was such a great character. I loved how she was like a mad scientist with her garden of death and the twisted way she handled her “pets”.

If you enjoy dark, twisted books filled with feminine rage and FMCs getting revenge, I highly recommend checking out this anthology.

The way I devoured this Anthology!!!!

I initially read it because I love Layla Moon and Emily Klepp, but I wasn't expecting to LOVE the entire thing. The ladies that put this together did a damn good job.

"Ladies... May your voice be FUCKING loud.
May your voice be FUCKING heard.
And may the men that did you wrong rot in fucking hell!"

#115 Layla Moon
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This was a dark and twisted tale of revenge, and as we know Revenge is definitely a dish best served cold. And he sure did get the last meal he deserved

Hush Now - SK Pryntz
⭐️⭐️⭐️
Aurora is a survivor after being assaulted by twin brothers and left for dead, she find a way to get revenge years later.
The lullaby aspect brought creepy factor to the story. Id like to know more about Ivy.

Trigger Point - Ivy Graves
⭐️⭐️⭐️
This one I found a bit confusing is she’s a vampire? is she a cannibal? Or is she just a bit sick and twisted? Only one way to find out. And please remember to eat your fruit.

Salvation Is Created - Sage RelleAnne
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The story was quite “ electrifying”
After years of submitting to men who claim to be family, in hopes of being with her sister again. She finds out that her sister is dead and now it’s time to take revenge

Burn - Emily Klepp
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This one was to close to home I have been there when no one believes you well next to know one. I was happy she found Jaxson who was there for her no matter what.

Matricide - CJ Riggs
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Reminded me never to play would you rather. The twist at the end oh who Duke it wow I didn’t see that coming. I could easily read a whole book about Nora and Duke.

Control - Licia Dawn
⭐️⭐️⭐️
Aurora and Amira made a great team. These girls are a bit deranged using men and puppets and not in the way you think. This story is a mix of revenge bloody revenge and spice.

Over all this whole little book was a great read. I do wish a few of these stories were so much longer I needed more.

It’s a relatively quick anthology read. Covering the rage of females who feel justice has not been served. Please read the trigger warnings, as this contains SA, childhood abuse, gore and violence etc.

The stories are well written, expletive and descriptive. You do feel like you are there going through their pain and subsequent revenge. You need to read it to know what I mean.

All proceeds from sales of this book go to ‘Map your Voice’ ❤️

Yall.. I devoured this. The rage in me has never felt so content in my entire life. As a scorpio, rage makes up 60% of my body and reading this anthology brought me peace and serenity.

This was put together so perfectly I can’t even. Each story was so beautifully written *chefs kiss* baby.

I was blessed to be part of the arc team and I can’t thank you enough. ILY<3

This anthology is a stunning collection of stories centered around feminine rage and revenge! Each tale offers unique settings and backgrounds, but at their core, they all showcase women in their power, strength, fearlessness, and delivering well-deserved justice to those who wronged them. I highly recommend grabbing this collection, especially since the proceeds go to a nonprofit supporting survivors!
