Synopsis:

Everyone knows about workplace drama. We all know that miserable guy that hates everyone because they're too blonde, attractive, good at their job, well-liked, and queer...

But what if that guy was a serial killer?

Things could get messy.

What if the coworker he directed his anger towards that was too blonde, attractive, good at his job, well-liked, and queer...

was also a serial killer?

Things could get even messier. And they do.

Gerald hates everything and everyone at the hospital where he works...especially nurse Chadwick, with his charisma, and likeability. Gerald knows he can't kill his coworker or he could lose his ability to continue his hobby, doubling as the killer the world knows as the Skin Shaver, so he decides to target Chadwick's family instead, hoping to get Chadwick out of his life a different way. What he doesn't know...

is that Chadwick is also a serial killer. They're two of a kind and they're about to butt heads in a brutal, gory, cuss-filled, extravaganza full of torture and depravity.

Review:

Chadwick is a hospital nurse who takes his job very seriously and works many hours. Hidden underneath his exterior is someone no one really knows. He has many dark secrets and honestly really does not care much for people or being around them. 

Gerald is a janitor at the same hospital. He hates everyone and he hates his job. He feels used and undervalued by the staff, always being ordered to do the dirty jobs, but never shown appreciation. He has deep, dark secrets and takes great pleasure in his hidden hobbies.

When their worlds collide outside of the work place, it becomes a fight to survive as they discover each others secrets and are brought into each others depravity. 

Chadwick and Gerald, two very different characters on the exterior, but deep down they desire one thing, something they both have in common...murder. 

Both of these characters are very well written. It was a bit difficult to decide wether to loathe them or feel a bit sorry for them as their upbringing was a huge factor as to why they have become who they are. A very heartbreaking story, indeed. 

Amongst all the disturbing, dread inducing brutality, there is also family dynamics, life in the work place, and an intriguing bit of mystery to unfold. 

A very gory and dark read, delving us into the minds and lives of two psychopaths. The more we learn as many of their secrets are revealed, the darker, more horrific, disturbing and chilling it becomes.

Extremely intense!

Horror readers who love their books deeply depraved will love this one!
