To sum up the coming review, I did not like this novella. First of all, the story is not about mannequins, which was a huge disappointment off the bat. Then, the writing was not good, in my opinion. It was clunky and confusing, along with the plot line, which, by the way, was blatantly obvious. With psychological thrillers, you usually have some form of suspense or mind boggling aspects, but this book really missed the mark. However, what I had fun with in this novella was the psychology of the main character. It was interesting to explore his thoughts and justifications. Overall, I didn’t have an enjoyable experience while reading this writing, and I honestly got pretty bored and annoyed. Despite that, though, I won’t discourage you from reading it. It’s a short horror novella that makes for a good palette cleanser, if nothing else. Just have your expectations at an appropriate level. 2 stars.

I wish I could give this zero stars. Terrible writing. Makes sentient object romances look bad. Don’t read this, and definitely don’t spend your money. It wasn’t even funny. 0 stars.

Stick with me; this review is going to be a stream of consciousness. So, I don’t know how I feel about this one. It gave me the ick often, but I have to also consider that I don’t read mafia because it gives me the ick. So, take this review with a grain of salt. I also don’t love the preachiness that Navessa does throughout her books. It makes for a weird read. Like, are sex workers’ rights important? Absolutely. But I think there’s a discrete way to talk about it through your writing without having random, blatant monologues. I also didn’t love the romanticism of sex work because sex work can be incredibly dangerous and comes with many downfalls that I believe Navessa didn’t really touch on. And the sex club? It’s a kink club, but it really didn’t feel all that kinky. Maybe I’m just desensitized, but I would think a sex club would have way more kinky and shocking aspects than this one did. Additionally, Navessa touches on way too many plot points in her books, and it leaves her books feeling like they have plot holes or are incomplete, in a sense. Other than all that I’ve listed, though, the book wasn’t bad. It was entertaining enough for me to want to finish it, but I don’t think it was nearly as good or funny as Lights Out. Again, not a terrible book, but it could use some improvement, especially when compared to Lights Out. 3.75 stars.

Hmmm I’m struggling to review this book. I thought it would be something completely different than it was. For what it was, it was okay. I think the writing was a little clunky at points. Like, the transition into the reveal wasn’t smooth whatsoever and kind of felt like a jolt to my brain. Also, the end felt very rushed. The actual story was decent, but I think an exploration into what asylums were actually like would’ve been cool. Overall, I think the book and story had potential but fell flat for me. I’m feeling disappointed. 3.25 stars
