/ Fantasy / Hell's Kitchen
Synopsis
Meet Chef Victor Delacroix, a culinary genius with a chilling secret! By night, he was known as "The Butcher", a ruthless serial killer and assassin wielding a blood-stained meat cleaver. His grotesque talent? He gains the abilities and attributes of whatever – or whomever – he eats. This macabre skill set made him one of the most feared figures in the criminal underworld.
Fed up with his gruesome life of crime, Victor decides to vanish from the radar and start fresh. He moves to the capital and opens an exclusive restaurant called "Hell's Kitchen." His dishes are unparalleled, attracting an elite clientele: the wealthy, the corrupt, and the morally bankrupt, each harboring their own dark tastes...
In Hell's Kitchen, every dish tells a story, and every meal is an experience - often literally a slice of life. Yet, his patrons are blissfully unaware of Victor’s true identity as The Butcher, concealed behind the charming facade of a master chef.
As Victor tries to carve out a new existence, the ghosts of his past start to close in. Sinister patrons with dangerous appetites, old enemies seeking revenge, and the lure of his own monstrous cravings threaten to drag him back into the abyss. The line between his dual lives blurs, and each night becomes a battle to keep his sinister nature at bay.
"Hell's Kitchen" is a twisted tale of redemption and temptation, where humanity and monstrosity collide. In a world where darkness is served on a silver platter, can Victor ever truly escape his blood-soaked past, or will the shadows consume him once again?

Craving something... unique? For the discerning palate and the strong stomach. Highly recommend for the excellent writing and rather twisted macabre story. Quality of the writing is top tier, regular update schedule, easily digestible... chapter lengths. Read the synopsis! Not a menu you'd order from? Pick another restaurant. Feeling adventurous? Hell's Kitchen delivers. Dark Victorian fantasy, interesting range of characters and motivations... I'm curious to see just how much of Victor's past comes into play and how successful this new start of his will be... I'd love to see him conquer old demons, just not sure how much he'll return to old habits. I reckon the author will push limits, but be creative enough to serve up something unexpected in the end. Never seen a slice-of-life like this, yet never one more literal either. 👀 Author clearly loves to cook!
What a unique read... Can’t say I’ve read anything like it before. But if I’m going to try something new, it’s a very well written example of a darker genre. Good humor peppered in there (food pun not intended) with nice twists on common archetypes. Gives it a very unique feel. I do recommend trying it out. Interested to see where it goes from here!
I really like gore and blood when it comes to reading and this... this does it for me. We have an awesome MC who is not afraid of the law and everybody is literally letting him cook! If you're into slice of life and blood, much like me, this book is definitely your cup of coffee. 1 billion out of 10🔥🤌🏽
What a unique take on the culinary skills. The macabre meets finesse, gore is cooked with delight. Loved every word I read, as usual, the writing style is a chef's kiss. So smooth and pleasing to read. Characters stand out, each of them unique in their own way. Especially, Victor has that air of sophistication and yet danger about him. I love how the writer has introduced so many different species and I am hoping he will continue to do so throughout the book. If you are in the mood for something different, something gorey and yet pleasing at the same time then go for it. Kudos to the author, he is creating a masterpiece.
Creepy vibes but good characters with great dialogue. Characters all serve a role and add their own spice to the story. Love the psychological element. Haven’t tried any of the recipes, but I think we need a HK cookbook added in the future, or an index listing and pointing where to find the recipes in the story. Include ethical substitutions, please. Anyway, good read! Recommend!
This book is not for the faint of heart or weak of stomach, but the author’s writing style is captivating for those who dare to venture into this dark comedy. I have every confidence in the author’s ability to consistently turn out quality chapters with intense and provoking characters and plot. If you like your stories a little bit twisted, this one is definitely worth your time!
