Slice of Cherry by Dia Reeves
Kit and Fancy are sisters living in a strange town. They are outcasts because their father is the Bonesaw Killer. He is a serial killer who is on death row, while the girls and their mother live in the same small town they have always been in. The sisters are their father's daughter, and soon they give into the same dark desires that their father indulged in. Are they bad people because they love blood? As the sisters discover who they are, they face dangers like bad guys, good boys, and the truth about what they do.
This book is Dexter meets Sweet Valley High. Sisters ,who on top of dealing with being teenagers and discovering what boys are all about, are also facing a father on death row and their own dark desires for revenge and blood. What's a burgeoning serial killer to do? The town that they live in, although in the regular world, is strange and filled with mysterious monsters. The blood and guts are a little overwhelming, especially in the beginning of the book. After a while I got used to the gore and really started to enjoy the story. It feels wrong to cheer for the killers, but in this crazy town they are the lesser of the evils. I love the book cover and I would recommend the book to more mature teen readers who don't mind a little cursing, romance, blood and guts.
