When you’re 45, getting divorced, and disillusioned from years of soul-sucking work in corporate America, there isn’t much to look forward to. With his personal life just as deep in the dumps as his professional life, Mike Ashbrook figures a janitorial job would be somehow fitting, but what he finds is a different kind of clean-up service.

Now Mike is wrist-deep in human waste. As a crime-scene cleaner, when the police are done, his job is just beginning. His biggest problem now, besides wiping up blood, guts, and other nastiness, is his new coworker, Sage. She’s young, beautiful, and the only other employee who doesn’t quit after a week. She may also be totally insane. Sage is not just an enigma - she’s toxic.

I just finished and don’t even know what to write. It was vile and disturbing but really contained a great story… Triana strikes again. Now excuse me while I clear my head…

Great disturbing ultra horror. Ending leaves a little to be desired but I think that’s the point. Not as good as Full Brutal or Gone to See the Riverman but still an enjoyable piece!

Another Triana great

A divorcee with two daughters finds himself out of work and desperate for employment answers a help wanted add for crime scene clean up. A very disturbing job with some very graphic extreme scenes but things are just getting started in this very extreme horror story that will make even the most extreme horror fans cringe. Sometimes love becomes toxic.

I sometimes struggle with giving Splatterpunk books over 3 stars, even though they are for sure my guilty pleasure and favorite sub-genre. This is because sometimes the book’s shock value holds more weight than the words that create it. I also worry slightly about what highly rating an absolutely vicious and visceral would mean for me as a human being. Anyway, if you have a strong stomach and want to simultaneously roll your eyes and pluck them out, check TOXIC LOVE out.

Not sure what this says about me, but I liked this book.

There is some really sick stuff happening in this book. Mike turned into a depraved person when he meets a young woman half his age. This is extreme horror that is dark and erotic. Chuck Brugee did a very good job with the narration. I received this free copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Within the space of two novels, Triana has become one of my new favorite authors. I am very much enjoying his books. However, TOXIC LOVE is probably not the place to start with him. Go for THE RUIN SEASON instead. The reason is that this book is extremely and incredibly graphic. Seriously. Most people will hate and be disgusted by this book within the first chapter. There is a lot of sex and blood and dead bodies and more. This is not the book for most people. The cover blurb "Jesus! And I thought I was sick." by Edward Lee really does sum it up. If you don't know Edward Lee (Splatterpunk J.F. Gonzalez Lifetime Achievement Award recipient), look him up and then consider his blurb. Let me give a short summary of the start of the book to illustrate.

Mike Ashbrook works for a cleaning agency that cleans and sanitizes crime scenes after the bodies are removed. He gets a new partner Sage who is a gorgeous blonde and who, we quickly find out, gets turned on by blood. Sage's sexual kink of blood started with her first boyfriend who was a cutter. Before we know it, Mike and Sage are moving from one extreme depravity to another.

My short description might sum up the basics but it doesn't truly do the story justice. There really is a story within the book; it's not torture-porn or just a gross-out. Mike is going through a divorce and life changes and the attraction of younger woman helps him to rediscover himself. The degree and amount of change is not what he expects but how many of us in real life expect the changes that fate throws us. The unexpected layoff or car accident or death. Or even in today's world, global pandemic. Adjusting and dealing with changes and coming out of it with a better sense of identity or stability is what we all try to do. And fiction takes those changes to the extreme. And in this case, the very extreme. I'm not sure what type of book Triana will provide me next but I am looking forward to it.

Extreme, Exciting, Engrossing
