[Book Review] Stitches by Kevin J. Kennedy & Steven Stacy

March 2, 2020      Erica Robyn      15 Comments

Stitches by Kevin J Kennedy and Steven Stacy Book Photo

Stitches: A Neo-Noir Thriller by Kevin J. Kennedy and Steven Stacy is a dark and brutal tale about a group of models who attract the wrong type of attention…

Full Disclosure: I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review. This did not affect my rating in any way.

Let’s dive in!

My Thoughts on Stitches: A Neo-Noir Thriller by Kevin J. Kennedy, Steven Stacy

This book was a little outside of my comfort zone, but since it was Kevin J. Kennedy, I wanted to give it a go anyway! There was one sex scene that I skipped through as it’s just not my jam. But the rest… I couldn’t look away!

I loved that the novella began with us seeing the models being chosen by the photographer, and then it jumped to them traveling to one of their shoots. Right from the second that the girls asked for directions from someone that made them all a bit nervous, I knew we were in for a trip!

The story just got darker and darker as it went on. There were two scenes that had me reading so fast to see what was going to happen, that after I finished my first pass of the scene, I went back and re-read it to make sure I didn’t miss anything.

This one had me cringing. The action was so addictive and intense, but there’s just something about body horror like this that totally gets under my skin.

My Final Thoughts on Stitches

I had so much fun reading this. This tale was action packed and it was incredibly scary! It’s definitely one that you should pick up when you have an hour or so to just cruise through it. You won’t be able to put it down!

Are you a fan of horror with a splash of erotica? If so, go snag this one right away!
