These three dangerous brothers will do anything to make sure I keep my mouth shut about what I saw, even if it means stalking my every movement. They don’t…but they don’t forget about me, either.

When they drag me from the blood-soaked bed, I’m certain they’re going to kill me, too. On the night I’m meant to give my body to a brutal Russian mobster, three men storm into the room like dark shadows and kill him before he can claim me. So when I end up desperate for money and out of options, I agree to sell the one thing I have left: my innocence. My parents are dead, my adoptive mother is a drug addict, and the mean girls on campus mock me for my scars. Four stars for this one.I was the girl no one looked at twice.

That is saying a lot for me as I consider myself a hardened horror fan and normally I don\’t get queasy reading about twisted psychos! But with this book it was a different. I found myself through some of the stories getting queasy as the information of the murders were so detailed that I could imagine the pain and agony of the victims. This book is not for the faint of heart as the author goes into descriptive detail about the murders and it was one of the most detailed versions of murders that I have read in a very long time. The men loved to use axes and hatchets to \”chop\” up their victims. The women were just as bad and it seems that the women loved to use arsenic and any kind of poison they could get their hands on to commit their crimes. We thought that Bundy, Dahmer, and Gacy were twisted, but after reading this book, there were worse killers than them back in the \”old days\”. In my opinion, the men in this book that committed the crimes back in the 1800\’s were worse than the famous killers that we know of today. All these murderers were people I have never heard of before and it didn\’t matter if it was a man or a woman as both were the most cold hearted individuals to walk this earth. The author, Harold Schechter, delved long and deep into the past to find these crazy murderers. I didn\’t realize there were so many psychos back in the 19th century, but after reading this book, there were more than I ever expected to be living in those days. This book was about the most twisted true crime book I have read in a long time.
