Trigger warnings ** there is teenage sex involved, scenes of violence and murder, and hints of rape
I am going to start out by saying, I am a romance reader and this is in no way romance. I read very little horror and will admit I balked at this at first. There are many versions of the Todd Sweeney or Sweeney Todd story but this is an unusual take using high school students.
Todd Sweeney is home fo his High School year. he has been sent to reform school by his guidance counselor that has been trying to get into his moms pants and took over his dads office in the school.
Mr. Squeer is an evil man that takes advantage of a woman and abuses kids and gets by with it but Todd is going to stop it and things get out of hand. He recruits his girlfriend Nellie to help him out of a bad situation and they devise quite a weird and gross way of "cleaning up" Todd's mess. Things spiral out of control from here. I have to say I wanted to keep reading once I started to see the outcome.
The chapter headings were a bit odd to me and threw me off at times, but all in all, it wasn't a bad story.
If you like horror, murder, setting things right, and something different you may enjoy this.
