Blurb
My name is Avery Decker, and my story isn’t for the faint of
heart. It is about revenge and hatred, misery and violence. I wasn’t always this way even though it was in my blood. I grew up happy and in love with my best friend until she betrayed me and walked away. After that, I fell into the deep, dark world I was meant for.
Presleigh Clarke's actions turned me into the ruthless man I am today. Too bad for her, I believe people should pay for the things they have done. The more painful and messy, the better. I get off on making people bleed. It feeds my inner demon, and right now, he is starving. She crossed me once, so now she’ll know what it’s like to fear me. But not all stories end the way you think they will … mine certainly didn’t.

Oh good Lord, Shantel Tessier,
you dark and evil woman you! I don’t know whether to be shocked at myself for
enjoying Slaughter or outraged at Tessier for writing such a story that I liked!
First, let’s get this out of the way… if you have triggers or don’t like alpha
assholes who mentally and physically abuse the female, I’d say, stay away… stay
far, far away. This is harsh, this is cruel. Tessier has a gift for creating a
story that pulls you in no matter the darkness.
Now, I do wish the story had
more of a story and less of just abuse, just cruelness. It did stretch on a bit
more than necessary for the storyline but that’s my opinion. I might have
wanted to abuse Avery a few times. I don’t have enough fingers or toes to count
how many times Avery called Presleigh a slut or a whore for the exact same
behavior. I know, out of all the abuse Presleigh takes, these are my main
complaints… what can I say, I hate slut shaming! Girl power and all that! I did
like Presleigh though. She was tougher than you think.
I battled back and forth
between love and hating Avery. As the story unfolds, you start to understand
some of the story. Now, just because I understand doesn’t mean, I agree. I don’t
agree with any of the things Avery did. However, Tessier created quite an
entertaining story. I did end up reading quickly through once I hit 60%, the
pace of the story picked up and I couldn’t get through the story fast enough!
I received an ARC of this book with the hope
that I would leave an Unbiased Opinion. I was not required to leave a review,
positive or otherwise, and my opinions are just that... my opinions.

Excerpt
Big blue eyes stare into mine with a look of terror. Good, she recognizes me. Even in her drunken state, and eleven years later, she still knows who I am.
Her pink lips part, inhaling sharply. Her entire body goes rigid. I take a step toward her as she pulls me in just as she always did. I never could control myself with her. But this time has to be different. I have to be in total control of myself and of her.
She doesn’t move.
She doesn’t blink.
She doesn’t breathe.
Deciding to close the gap completely, I take two more steps until my body is close enough to feel the heat radiating from hers. Her long, dark hair drapes over one shoulder, and it looks good on her. She loved when I used to run my hands through her short hair and play with it. Now I just want to wrap it around my fists and force her to her knees. We never did fuck. We made love—always soft and slow. Now when I picture us in bed together, she is bound and gagged. That way, she won’t be able to stop all the sadistic shit that comes to mind.
I’ve become one of those men I swore to never be! All because of her.
I want her to beg me.
I want her to bleed for me.
I want her to love me.
But I’m not stupid. None of those things will come willingly. I’m gonna have to take them. And I have no problem with that. She made me who I am today, after all.
She continues to stand there like a deer in headlights. I give her a threatening smile but reach out to tuck her hair behind her ear in an innocent gesture when what I really wanna do is slap that look of surprise off her face.
Her body physically shakes.
“Hello, Bunny. Miss me?”
