The second and third books, though want to expand on that idea a bit, and I feel like they suffer a bit for it. It didn't need much explaining, but it had a lot of heart, a lot of character (a WHOLE lot of violence), and kept me reading the whole book in one sitting. Thompson took a simple premise - whenever Molly bleeds, she creates a murderous duplicate of herself - and took us through her life and all she had to do to manage those duplicates.

But overall, the first book will kind of blow your mind, the second book fills in a few blanks and has a surprising ending and the final book, which I never knew was coming, gives you some, and I’m stressing the word some, insight as to how Molly ended up like this. While I’m glad I’ve read them all the same, I still don’t believe these books are not without faults one of which is the stilted/sparse writing style the other is character/plot development suffers from the short format, and the aforementioned writing style.

Whenever she bleeds, another molly is born, identical to her in every way and intent on her destruction. But, if you need more this was taken from the blurb įor as long as Molly Southbourne can remember, she's been watching herself die. You could read them for that reason alone. This series of novella-length books are some of the craziest shit I’ve ever read.
