of
Talking with Female Serial Killers: A Chilling Study of the Most Evil Women in the World:
"The concept of this book: great.
The execution: bloody awful. I have three main problems with this book. Firstly, the title is more than a little inaccurate given that Berry-Dee doesn't actually talk to most of the women discussed in the book. And quit" Read more of this review » |

Talking with Female Serial Killers: A Chilling Study of the Most Evil Women in the World:
"Unfortunately, I did not enjoy this book. I originally picked it up because I am very interested in criminology and because female serial killers are so rare that they aren't really talked about often. I do believe that the idea behind this book isn'"

Talking with Female Serial Killers: A Chilling Study of the Most Evil Women in the World:
"This was probably the worst Christopher Berry Dee book I've read so far.
Like his other books, its littered with mentions of his previous books. But in this book he takes it a step further and proceeds to tell us where, when and by who the books have" Read more of this review » |

“Once upon a time there was an empress, trapped as a ghost in the ruins of a jewelled palace, cursed to find another soul to take her place. At least, that's what the empress heard. But, as it turned out, stories can have any ending you like.”

“When people are cruel it's often said that they have no heart, only a cold space or lump of ice in their chest. This was never true of Avalon. She had no heart, everyone knew, but there was nothing cold about her. In her chest burned an enormous coal, white-hot, brighter than the North Star. North knew the truth about Avalon: she was made of fire, and she would burn them all.”

“The day after I met Grace – her pierced little mouth, her shitkicker boots, her hands as small as goosebumps writing numbers on my palm. The day after I met her, I went to the heart rental place.”

“They see the straight line of my jaw along the length of their thighs and they see how it fits, the geometry of bodies. They have wondered for so long why nothing ever fits, why the knobs of their spines press hard on chairbacks and why they can't lie parallel in bed, and then there I am. I know how to fill the gaps in a girl.”

“Walking through the hospital's main entrance, with Hope's grip squeezing tight her hand, Lauren sees Saint Felicity cradling the bones of her seven murdered sons, Saint Margaret of Antioch being swallowed by a dragon, Saint Mary of Oignies cutting off chunks of her own flesh. Then a gasp as a contraction hits and the world shrinks to the size of Hope's body. The inside, even smaller than the outside. This is all there is.”

“We grab handfuls of bottles and climb up onto the roof of the house. She stumbles and her foot slips into the gutter sopped with dead leaves. I grab her wrists and pull her clear – sure, she's not the person I'd choose to do this with, but she's my only option so I might as well be nice. Plus I don't want her to drop the vodka.”

“Daniel first kisses his brother in a town where no-one knows them, a no-account place that's barely even a town, just some buildings clustered around the highway: a smoky bar, an empty motel, a convenience store that only sells candy and condoms and beer. The nearest gas station is twenty miles away. The nearest bus station is fifty.”
