"This is a gripping, action-packed story, Joy, and what a heroine... a jump-suited, stiletto heeled Ninja. I found the dark, disturbing central theme and the fantasy super-heroine with a score to settle, worked amazingly well, Your writing is just superb in every way, I was there in the sewers with the rats, the smells, the slime, the villains. A unique and compelling read. "

Fri, February 16th, 2018 11:51pmFabulous Joy! You have me all twisted into deliciously psychoemotional knots! There's your story, then there's you, I am caught between hero-worship and rapture! Your elegant pen has me hypnotized under your enchanting literary spell! Pussy Reaper's Revenge is raw womanhood in its most vital essence. Pure unadulterated feminine power! When you write that all men have an end game, it makes me think, I'm a man and if I have an endgame it is to idolize the erudite angelic glory that flows from your elegant pen with the poetic euphoria of a Delphic oracle! Your exquisite writing is pure Joy! It is a joy to read Joy!

Tue, February 20th, 2018 10:10amThis was amazing Joy Shaw and full of action! I loved your heroine and I must admit that she was quite the fighter. She had a tragic background story in my opinion and I love how much detail you put into the story. Keep up the good work and I will be sure to check out your other stories as well!
Signing out,

I agree Joy Shaw! I think it is the little things that seem to connect people to each other.
Wed, February 21st, 2018 12:50amYou had me at "pussy".
Very nicely written , I loved the action.
My lips went dry as I read, then I licked them :D
Really cool story !
It is refreshing to see an unapologetic heroine in a good read.
Thu, February 22nd, 2018 12:54amWith a title like that, I just had to read and find out. And what a pleasure. I loved everything about it and found myself bursting into laughter more than one time. You managed to capture the tension as well as the humor and blended them perfectly. The mission for why Pussy (hee hee) was there wasn't lost or diminished by the humor. This was an awesome read! Excellent!
Thu, February 22nd, 2018 4:42pmLoved the dark world and action heroine. A great read. Loved it.
Wed, February 28th, 2018 10:45pmThis was great! I love action, and this was just full of it. Honestly, it wasn't what I was expecting by the title hahaha but the story along with the title was very unique. I enjoyed every aspect of it. I love heroines, so of course, I instantly fell in love with the character. Great story, I'll be sure to check out more of your works soon!
Sat, March 3rd, 2018 4:11pmWow! This one is really deep! I can’t stand people who abuse women, innocent children, or any others who are helpless, or in need! Makes me want to turn loose the beast within!!!
I loved this story, & I was glad that Viktor rat King got his deserved beating! Justice!
Wow, what a gripping and thrilling read! I especially loved the character you made to tell the story. There's a few grammatical errors here and there, but your prowess in writing more than makes up for it. I'm looking forward to reading more of your works!
Wed, April 18th, 2018 9:14pmmarvellous poem friend... i liked it.
stay happy.
This anti-heroine is a badass vigilante who does what others fail to do with personal stakes in the fray that scar her deep, drive her conviction not to fail, and we the audience are eager to cheer on her cheeky swagger. The action is a non-stop thrill ride in this dark twisted world. The writing is as sharp as her katana wielded where deserved. No excess, gritty, with spots of humor. It is a well-crafted tale from beginning to end we do not wish to see, yet hope for future tales of this very unique young woman.
Thu, May 24th, 2018 3:09amVery interesting! yes I am a man, however I have always loved stories and movies (action or otherwise) that had a strong female lead and you didn't disappoint! however since your character believes that every man has an end game I will tell you that mine is actually published here on Booksie. I have 3 stories and around 20 poems that I think Pussy Reaper might be able to use to balance her idea of what a mans end game might be. I enjoyed this very much, thank you for allowing me the honor of reading this!
Thu, July 19th, 2018 6:31pmOkay, I need to collect myself here and take a deep breath. You're... BLOODY TALENTED! Girl, it's like I'm reading a published novelist work here, I'm not kidding. The character Catarina is very well-developed and complex. She's a badass, but sometimes tries to cover it up by her inner demons. I really liked her tone of voice, she's very witty, sarcastic, and compassionate. I really loved how you set up the imagery, along with adding her sarcastic comments in between, which made me giggle a lot. I liked how she encountered certain things, where we found ourselves in a foggy flashback, and it goes more in depth of how she reacts. Trusting men in general is the most complex emotion, Then, when she meets Edison, the first man who didn't took advantage of her, but helped her instead. I liked the sense of wise clarity that moles weren't bad, how this enlightened her insecurities about them, and I think it gave her sense a closure. The action pack pace smoothed wonderfully, along with Cat's inner monologue, and I could picture everything with the imagery. And thank you, a heroine who's not like Bella Swan. This was just amazing!
Mon, August 6th, 2018 3:18amHoly crap. I'm usually more of a fantasy girl, but I've seen your story in my recommended a couple of times and i gotta say, I do not regret clicking. It was fantastic; Cat is a badass with a killer personality. I love your writing style, the clever quips are literal life fuel.
Hope to read more of your stuff soon.
With love, Thea and Ivy
Well, this was a good read. Cat's vigilante name is a bit odd in my opinion, but the way you write the action and give us so much to know about her in this span of time is amazing. I look forward to the others. I can see how this won an award, keep up the good work!

Thank you for the comments, Allen. Appreiciate the time you took to review my work. Please do consider checking out the rest of the stories in this series. And stay tuned as four other stories are planned for this series possibly more.
BTW, Cat comes from her Hispanic name, Catrina Consuelo. But her vigilante name is Pussy Reaper.
Blessings,
Joy
This is a wonderful story, full of drama and action. I love the fact that you wrote a badass heroine, because you can never have enough of those. I loved the darkness and brutality of the story, well done!

Wow, Joy, what a completely action-packed read. You came up with a pretty unique heroine to do battle with the sewer scum, and she was well able to hold her own. A tiny bit of romantic interest, maybe, at the end.
Fri, February 16th, 2018 10:15pmGreat job with this well-planned and unusual read!
