review 1: This was a lot more gory and disturbing than I thought it would be from reading the back cover. To the point where I wouldn't read it before bed. It wasn't scary, just... icky. For a while, I was worried it would just be a yucky story about the sisters killing people in various horrible ways, but there was eventually a lot of stuff about what it means to love someone, the difficulties of family, what happens when someone you love begins to love someone else, how hard it is to grow up..... etc. etc. I found the town of Portero and the things that happen there interesting, especially since all the Porterenes just take it all for granted! I think I will read the other Portero book from Reeves at some point.
review 2: Slice of Cherry was delicious in a frightening ... moresort of fashion. There was always something a little off about the way it was written, like you were actually a teenage psychopath who really just relished the sight of other human’s innards. The protagonist is a fifteen-year old girl named Fancy. Her father was a serial killer known as the Bonesaw Killer and she and her sister, Kit, are convinced they have the same murder hungry blood coursing through their veins. After their father is caught they begin to tap into their own murderous tendency, starting small at first with animal dissection and maiming a nighttime intruder. The sisters soon have the chance to expand their repertoire with the town pedophile and other miscreants. While all this is going on Fancy discovers that she can look into any reflective surface and see what she wants to see, like her father on sitting on death row, magical worlds of her creation, or TV shows. She and Kit realize that if they are to continue their killing spree they need a place to hide the bodies. Fancy finds a way into one of her magical worlds nicknamed “the happy place” The happy place is a freakish, Alice-in-Wonderlandish world where trees grow out of corpses and little girls grow Butterfly wings. But Fancy’s gory dream is shattered when Kit reveals that she is in love with Gabe, the son of their father’s last victim. Fancy believes that if Kit loves someone else she will not have enough room in her heart to love her sister. To make matters worse Ilan, Gabe’s brother, has started paying more attention to Fancy than normal. She wants nothing to do with this boy who would hate her if he knew all of her secrets. But Ilan has some secrets just as deep as Fancy’s, ones that could change all of their lives. Slice of Cherry was good in the way an acid trip is good (not that I’ve experienced one but I feel like this book would compare). Crazy things happen that no one thinks twice about, the characters hold exactly zero morals, and you are forced to empathize with a bratty psychopath. But overall it holds some sweet parts amid the gore and less
