This is what happens when women fight back.

Did not read as it was FF

Hush Now
This is what happens when you mess with a woman and she decides to never let it happen again. She's on a mission to remove her tormentors as well as any other filth from the world. She strong, determined, and a bit crazy so they will get what they deserve.

Trigger Point
Ummmm.....that was something....didn't engage me enough to finish it.

Salvation is Created
She is promised her sister will be safe as long as she does as she us told. However, when that isn't true she plans to get her vengeance. She is brutal and I'd love to see more of this story.

Burn
When no one believed her and they called her crazy she ended up finding the love of her life and a way to take back what they stole from her and many others.

Mariticide
Cheating husband gets caught. This one was vicious but that little nugget at the end was fantastic.

Control
This one shows how a woman can use her trauma to ensure someone else never feels what she felt. Her and her best friend rid the planet of some of the trash. That last scene was perfectly fitting.

You know the feeling of rage,
You feel due to inadequate government not doing anything for the femicide happening around you,
Not doing anything for the SAs going around.
The victim is getting blamed,
For being a victim.
The abuser is free of any consequence.
The rage.
That rage!

This book scratches that feeling, making me satisfied.

Written in Blood is an anthology by Licia Dawn, Ivy Graves, Emily Klepp, Layla Moon, SK Pryntz, Sage Relleanne, and CJ Ruggs. It contains captivating short stories about rage and revenge. All of these stories contain triggering content that is not suitable for everyone. Please check the CWs before reading the book. I enjoyed it a lot, even though some scenes were too heavy for my taste. 

I received this book in exchange for my honest review.

dark
 First off, let me say that this book is not for everyone. If you like dark, gore, blood and utterly sick behavior from MFC then this book is for you! This level of gore was a first for me. I picked it up because I love Emily Klepp. I can't say that I was disappointed, but definitely shocked.

My favorites in the anthology were Emily Klepp, CJ Riggs and Licia Dawn.

This book brings out unabashed female empowerment and healing. Ever wanted to do to someone what they've done to you?! If you have, you can definitely relate to this book. All the MFC are ass kickers, blood suckers and out to get revenge for what one person or persons have done to them. This book gives women a voice and the authors use this voice to share their own stories. While gory, they really are all about strength and utter resilience to survive and carry on with life after incidents.

A brilliant collection of seven short stories centered on female rage and revenge. It’s dark, intense, and absolutely compelling—I enjoyed them all, but MARITICIDE by CJ Riggs stood out as my favorite.

I need more of every single one of these short stories! 

The rage, the gore, the blood, the spice! These women know what they are doing. You never know how unlimited a women’s anger is until it’s too late.

Each story is unique, fast paced but sets the scenes so well. Filling in each story work a quick background, reasoning of why the actions are being done but also not leaving it with feeling as if you weren’t satisfied with what just happened. 

Due to them being short stories, I don’t want to give too much away but you’re seriously missing out if you don’t add this to your tbr! 

-revenge 
-female rage
-female killers
-spice
-women empowering other women
-you’d chose the bear (unless it’s Drake or Duke)

Please check trigger warning before reading as these can be quite graphic

A collection of short, dark stories by different authors. A couple of them I would love to read more on the story! The spice was ok for most of them but they are short stories. Check trigger warning. Pretty good collection of stories! I'll be checking out some other books by some of these authors!

Wow wow wow. I don’t even know where to start!! Aside from this was absolutely AMAZING!
What an incredible anthology both with the stories in it, message and the proceeds going to charity.

The stories were fast paced and so original. With each story being so different I don’t know if I can pick my fave, but anyone who is a fan of dark, horror and gore will FORSURE devour this 😍
