Ben Jansen has been bullied relentlessly since the third grade by his ex-best friend, Jimmy Norton, after he spills an important secret that destroys not only each of their families but also their friendship.
In an odd twist of fate, Ben finds friendship and comfort in a new and unlikely ally under the city streets. His new friend, Henry encourages Ben to stand up for himself.
Armed with newfound confidence, Ben seeks revenge on Jimmy and his Goon Squad, one by one.
This is an extreme psychological horror story. If you are not familiar with the genre, please note that this is extremely dark and twisted.
I really liked this one. I knew something was off, especially when the author said that she hopes the ending makes the reader mad. But I wasn’t sure how it was going to play out.
Ben had been bullied by the Goons for years for reasons that he truly honestly believed happened. But did they?
He ends up meeting a rat, Henry, and this rat and his family help Ben. Not sure it ends exactly how Ben expected though.
I read this one in a single sitting and while it was short, it didn’t feel like it. I think it packed the perfect punch for the length it was. I can’t wait to read more from this author!
