Comment from RobinWrites
This is a riveting, well-written story. I was immersed in each word and hoped Carrie would be strong enough to survive. Very emotional and intense. Great job.

Comment from elizabethmay
I am new to this web site, this is my first review. I wanted to start with a story I enjoyed. The characters held my interest from the start, the threat to the little sister was there from the beginning expressed in the excellent dialogue. At the end of the piece I was left wishing she had killed him too! Regards EM

Wow. This is a very compelling story and a great read. I was totally engrossed the entire read! You have a talent for story telling and while the subjrct matter is horrid, the story itself is amazing. Good writing!

Hi,
When I hear about a child being sexually abused I get so mad. You wrote this story very well and I was engaged in it from the first line to the last. You keep the tension high and I think I was holding my breath as I read the words. Well done and good luck in the contest....blessings...chey

Comment from patwannabe
Wow, author, that was a white knuckler. I'm so sorry about Carrie's past, but I'm very happy that Shannon has a future.
I don't think I could ever trust a step-father. It's bad enough to not be able to trust a father. I know about that one.
You did a masterful job with this. Great suspense, well constructed sentences and no SPaG. Keep writing, pat

Pat,
Not every stepfather is ugly and despicable...like all mankind, there are good and bad...This one deserved to be shot! Thanks for reading my story...Smiles to you...
Comment from anabelle
Yup! There are times in life when killing seems a viable option. There's no doubt that raping two of my daughters would do it for me.
Best of luck in the contest. Horrendous story and good entry.

Comment from Trybuck
An interesting story that we hope is over for now and especially hope it's over for Jack, for good.
I'm glad Carrie didn't kill Jack but hope he gets his due in court.
Well done, Buck

Comment from Rama Rao
Excellent story.
I can't imagine a girl being raped by a step father with her mother as a witness. You've taken a very unusual incident and wove a nice story around it.
A few typos like use(d) to be, neither she, nor I had need your attention.
Secondly, I see you use some beats with your dialogues. Eg . I quizzed, she whimpered. I think these may be deleted as some of them are obvious.

Comment from Juliette Chamberlain
Hopefully that filthy Jack still had his trousers around his knees when the police arrived.
This is a very good story built around the practice of child abuse by a stepfather.
I personally would hav eno trouble with every sex pervert
having their bits cut off. That way they would have to suffer longer.
