Bad Parts, Brandon McNulty
Holy cow, the intensity on this is through the roof!

The blurb and other reviewers are comparing this to The Lost Boys, something I’ve never seen. Perhaps I should watch the movie? But I think maybe because I hadn’t seen it that I enjoyed this more than others. Mayhem lived in a crappy situation at home, which has expanded into every other aspect of her… Continue reading Mayhem, Estelle Laure
