Corpse Pixie by Sinister Styx – Review by Ayla Phipps

Corpse Pixie by Sinister Styx
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the second book I have read by the incredible mind that is Sinister Styx. You can read the synopsis a hundred times but until you read the first page and dive deeper into their world you never know what you’re going to find. Something I didn’t expect was to connect so much with Rene, having suffered the loss of my Irish twin in June 2020. So, I felt myself connecting deeply to him and understanding his grief and drive to bring justice for his sister’s murder. Told from two perspectives, Belladonna Shade, and Rene Corbin.
Belladonna has been hiding for her survival in the woods, becoming content with the existence and plotting revenge schemes in her mind. Never imagining she would get a chance to follow through to have her own Thrall to help her get the justice her people deserve against the Hunters. Rene has grieved for three long years, only finding a distraction from his self-destructive ways three days ago at the latest crime scene. His twin sister Cerise and now three other women have become victims to an unknown killer. The interesting little twists and turns are one of the most captivating parts of this author’s work. Just when you think you know what to expect a little twist is thrown in deepening the plot and fleshing out the story more. Each discovery seamlessly leads to more questions with some answers in between. Belladonna and Rene become entranced with each other. She spent decades hiding without worry but since meeting him she’s lost count of the number of times she has left the woods to follow him, until she finally commits and makes him hers.
Will they find the killer in time before they claim another victim? After all this time, can Belladonna finally get her people some justice? Does Rene truly mean more to her than a means to an end? The worlds the author can create in such a quick read is a true talent. More so the depth of the characters truly pulls you in with their claws holding on to you until the last word. I can’t wait to read more of the amazing books by this author, don’t think it’s possible to get enough.
