The diversity of each new book in this horror series is amazing. V Castro has combined mythology, horror, and smut in this novella and made it all work very well together.

Who doesn't want to read a book about shape-shifting women who turn into predatory animals and seek revenge on those who wrong them. 😀 Fun read.

Reggie Yeah, lol, she had some parts that made you think being a stripper must be the most uncomfortable thing you could be to, you know what, they could also be the sexiest. Lol also, I liked how she brought both versions of Carlos Santana‘s Maria Maria and Rihanna‘s Wild Thoughts together in a memory timeline. Glad you liked it. 2y

TheAromaofBooks Yay!! 2y

Addison_Reads @Reggie The use of music was great. I always love it when authors incorporate songs into their storylines in unique ways. I'm so glad you posted about this series otherwise I never would have known about it. 2y

I chose this novella to read next in the Rewind or Die series because V Castro wrote one of my favorite short stories last year, The Cucuy of Cancun. Maya is taking care of her little sister, Magdalena, after their parents were killed. She‘s a stripper AND shapeshifts into a jaguar. One night at work she senses a dark malevolent force and wonders if it has to do with the serial killing going on. I loved 3/4ths of this and then it fizzled a 👇🏼

Reggie little. If you were ever that teenager who stayed up late to watch that B scary movie that promised a lot of naked flesh on Cinemax, also known as Skinemax to some in the 90‘s, then this is for you. Lol, it was a lot of fun. 3y

Reggie @Cathythoughts 🐆❤️Thanks Cathy! 3y

Reggie @Bookzombie Thanks, Margie! My late time show as a kid was Red Shoe Diaries which was a spin-off show of this same named movie with David Duchovny. Not to sound like that guy that was like, ‘I only read Playboy for the articles‘ but I really loved the music of the Red Shoe Diaries. So much so that in 1995 I sent 12.95 plus 3.95 for shipping and handling off to Canoga Park, CA for their soundtrack, of which like 4$ was change. Lol 3y

Bookzombie @Reggie Lol. I remember that show, but I do not remember the music. ☺️ 3y

It‘s that time again. Also, loving this novella. Shapeshifters, strippers, serial killers, some cool song references, and very visceral writing. What‘s not to love?
