Corpse Pixie by Sinister Styx – Review by Britney Humphreys

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

I honestly did not know if I was going to like this book at first, but then it grabbed me and didn’t let go. I’m desperately hoping the author writes more books with these characters!

I love that Belladonna is a hybrid pixie/necromancer. It’s something I’ve never read about before, and the premise is an interesting one! She is written like a true pixie-sneaky, cruel, beautiful, dangerous, and remorseless. I adore her!

Rene is desperately seeking the person who murdered his twin sister and trying to cope with the loss in the only way he knows how-the bottom of a bottle. He starts seeing purple eyes and having euphoric experiences in a half-dreamlike state and believes he is losing his mind. It’s Belladonna doing her pixie shenanigans. At first, you really dislike her for using and abusing him the way she does (at least I did), but somehow you end up liking them as a team/couple by the end of the book. The twist at the end (the murderer) fit perfectly. There is enough foreshadowing that I guessed it, but I didn’t guess it so early that I was upset. The timing was perfect.

This is a quick, easy read and it is more plot than spice. Definitely check the triggers-it’s marketed as a dark paranormal book for a reason, and mental health is important.

I want to know more. I want to read about the team saving more paranormal creatures. I want to know if two of the characters actually went on the date she promised and how it went. I want to know how Rene handles being tied to Belladonna in the long run. I want to know about Belladonna’s past. There are so many ways the author could run with this book and these characters and I’m here begging for it!
