For the Sake Of (1) by Judith Sonnet - 4 1/2 stars

 Tabby thought she'd never see her child again. Missing for eight months, all hope seemed lost in finding six-year-old Riley. But then, Tabby wakes up one morning to find a brown lunch bag on the porch. Inside is a burner phone and a picture of Riley... with a decapitated head on her lap.Now, Tabby Moss has to prove that she'll do anything to save her daughter and have her returned. She'll do whatever the fiends who are holding her captive want.No Matter how sick...No matter how depraved...No matter how EVIL...It's a twisted game of life and limb, wherein Tabby must prove to a psychopath (and his hoard of online followers) that her daughter is worth saving!

*******************

This was my first time reading this genre (extreme horror). I love horror movies, so I was interested to see what these books would be like. I had a hard time trying to decide what rating to give it. While it was such a grotesque story, it was like a train wreck you didn't want  to look away from. It was like Hostel meets Saw meets Criminal Minds. The author did a good job of making you want to know what was next. I was disappointed in the ending, though. It was a bit of a let down. But I will probably read something else in this genre in the future.
