Wow!!!
One word, Brutal!!!

I think, each parents and futur ones, should read this book!!
I was horrified, to read how easy it is, for sexual predators, to stole and manipulated children or teenagers.

The Groomer is a very good revenge story.

This story isn’t, for sensitive readers . It’s very violent! There are tortures, and deviant, disturbing behaviors, against children.
After reading this, you will see internet in a different way. A more, sinister way for sure .

I highly recommend, this, Jon Athan’s book !81 s Paul Ataua1,624 181

An extreme horror which starts focused on hurtcore, a thing I didn’t know existed, and then centers on a father. whose daughter has been abducted. He works his way, vigilante style, through a list of sex offenders to get closer to the perpetrators. Torture and brutality are at the center of the book, and it’s not just about taking revenge on the guilty, but also inflicting suffering on anyone who happens on the scene. I am not a fan of vigilante justice and found this novel to have nothing more to offer than page after page of violent description. There are enough writers these days that write extreme horror within an inventive and interesting plot-line. This one was not for me!62 s Duncan RalstonAuthor 56 books1,609

The sheer brutality of Jon Athan's THE GROOMER had me squirming multiple times, particularly in the first third and last third. This is a story of a man pushed to do terrible things by the actions of the most horrible people imaginable. If you can stomach it, you'll find a bleak, riveting tale of revenge that pulls no punches and doesn't let up until the very end.54 s STEPH302 31

Disturbing. Brutal. Perverted.

I've read a lot of books similar to The Groomer and I can say that no graphic violence could possibly horrify me anymore. But this kinda shook me a bit because it involves young children—if that wasn't barbaric enough, I don't know what is.

Just to keep it a 100 for this review, I didn't expect anything different from this book, I understood the message, the warning and the caution that the plot would make me feel sick, it would make me uncomfortable. That was the purpose of this book—recapitulate reality of child porn and abuse.

A very powerful word to the wise: Protect your children, be vigilant, be aware of the people around you and trust your instincts. The world is a scary place, especially for the little ones who cannot protect themselves.42 s Richard K. Wilson538 111

My mind tells me to NOT review or even this book....however, it was very well written, but if you can stomach reading about extreme Child Predators and Child Trafficking, murder, suicide and torture, then this book is for you.

So, do you remember the first time you ever saw 'Death Wish'? Well, this will take you back to that time....but be ready because this book made that movie, seem very tame, and PG rated!!! This book takes the subject of Child Predators and sex trafficking and torture of a child, and even an 18 month old infant and teens to a whole new level. Now, being a victim of extreme abuse myself as a child in the late 60's, I was totally surprised that I found myself rooting this father (of an abducted 5 year old child) on to kill these bastards and perverts I was....BUT when they got what was coming to them.....it made up for all the stomach turning disgust and harrowing story lines I had to read to finally get there. Now, if you have a small child or even a teen ager at home, and they use sites such as Fortnite, Minecraft, and or Facebook or Instagram, you will not walk away from this reading experience unphased!!! Believe me, it is THAT shocking of a read. Don't get me wrong, there are warnings all OVER this books covers warning of this subject matter, but it at least did not dwell on the torture scenes and rape scenes, however what it did extemely well was show 'if you wanna fuck with me as a parent, and think you are going to get away with it.....you have GOT another thing coming!!!'

The way that this predator and his 'group' lure, and take and trap these victims is so diabolical and scary that it really makes me wonder how much more often this stuff actually does go on in this story. In a society when child abusers think that kids are put on this earth for their enjoyment, and that they can do what they want, and think they are not going to get caught, this is when I say we really need to be aware of this and do more to stop these predators.

Once you crack this book open, be ready to read it in one sitting, I read it over a 6 hour span, however there were times that I really surprised myself that i did not put it down in TEARS and disgust. As I said before.....THIS IS NOT TO BE TAKEN LIGHTLY WITH ITS SUBJECT MATTER!!! IT IS EXTREME HORROR AND ABUSE LIKE NONE OTHER. If you are brave enough TO put yourself thru this, read the authors comments on how and WHY he wrote it.....it made it easier that way.

Jon Athan brought back my childhood in a complete different way, and forced me to look at life and what it means to be a parent of a child in today's world.

People compared this to horror classics(?) as 'The Girl Next Door' and others, however this is going on in front of our own eyes. LOOK AROUND YOU PEOPLE! This is when I tell my self there was a damn good reason that I was not blessed with kids.

It could have gotten a higher rating even, however I DID NOT think that it's last page should have been in it......it made me sick to my stomach. disgust disturbing-as-hell extreme-violence ...more39 s Chantal573 644

Let me start by saying I knew what this book was about. And it was brutal. Sickening. I pretty much skimmed chapters 4 - 10 as I couldn't stomach it. It's bad. Horrible. And so truthfully hurtful. It's a very sensitive topic we all shy away from, but it's out there and it happens. 3 stars for neutrality. That is all.. 38 s1 comment Leeanne 🥀The Graveyard Reader🥀292 130

Mindblown!!!

Wow!! I didn’t think I’d be able to continue with this book after the first several chapters. The beginning of this book is hard work and very emotional. Jon Athan is a brilliant writer, and whereas the beginning is very graphic, and deals with very sick content, it is also a very intelligent and raw portrayal of the evil world we live in. My heart broke and I had tears running down my face, but I kept going as I wanted to know that these vile sickos get what they deserved. I’m glad I have read it, as it deals with ‘real’ life and any parent would deal with this exactly how Andrew does. If you can stomach the first part of the book, and continue to the end, you will not be disappointed. But it’s not for the faint hearted!!Andrew is a superhero!! extreme-horror-splatter-punk jon-athan36 s Mique Watson363 445

Ah, so this is what it feels to unconsciously dig my nails into my kneecaps in a state of actual fear and dread! This is such a rare occurrence for me, because books that actually succeed at freaking me out are rare beasts. Yet here it is, a book that depicts such an ugly side of humanity… one that kept pushing my eyes away from the page, yet enticing me to abandon all caution and keep reading.

This is a gritty, suspenseful, and punishing revenge story that requires a stomach of steel and an iron disposition to endure. Some may be revolted and not want anything to do with this because of the book’s premise itself–and I wouldn’t blame them. We follow Andrew, a man desperate to find his abducted daughter, Grace. Sounds familiar, eh? Think again.

The Groomer, at first glance, fits the mold of a suspense-thriller, yet it’s undoubtedly an extreme horror book. The perpetrators of this abduction are a bunch of sick fucks who make money off wealthy people who pay for snuff films… and who are willing to pay extra for (very) young victims. Grace is just starting off in preschool. Do the math.

Yes, there are lots of violent scenes, but the true scares come from the violence not seen on the page. Every second young Grace is missing is painful to endure… and almost the entire second act of this book follows just Andrew. Athan leaves us just as clueless and afraid as Andrew is, and gives us enough clues to get our minds to conjure up the worst possible scenarios. Man, when I say I was fucking SCARED…
