I've never been so happy to see someone get what's coming to them. Amy is a despicable human being and deserves everything she gets. Brown certainly did a fantastic job of bringing scents sounds alive in prose. Not many books can make me gag.
Cat Piss & Spoiled Vagina
Amy is a spoiled, entitled, petty, and manipulative monster of a woman. It seems only fitting that she'd find her way into the Hoopiverse with Dani Brown's The Scratching Post. Arguably the worst quality Amy displays is her solipsism. Her inability to recognize other people as independent, separate beings with perspectives that aren't her own, manifests in a sort of delusionally cynical outlook and a lack of object permanence. For Amy, other people are only ever motivated by the same things that motivate her. That viewpoint might be less pronounced if she didn't also surround herself with vapid, terrible people who only serve to reinforce the way she sees things. Thus, if everyone is motivated by the same things, it's altogether too easy for Amy to see others as nothing more than playthings to be used for her perverse amusement. For years, Amy got away with being a god-awful person, catered to by her mourning parents and pandered to by her social circle, but then Hoop moves in next door. As Amy's carefully constructed world of gaslighting and self-deception crumbles around her, there's no way a reader won't take pleasure in the revolting and nefariously appropriate comeuppance she experiences. Dani Brown brings her deliciously wicked and vile imagination to the table in bringing to life what has to be one of the most disgusting miasmas a reader can imagine. You'd be hard-pressed not to smell hints of the corruption wafting from the screen as you read the descriptions she provides. Like the other installments in the Hoopiverse, we get to witness Hooper forcing empathy onto the monstrous people he sets his sights on. While it isn't true empathy, being subjected to the experiences of those they've hurt, it's a befitting analog that serves the purpose of showing these hideous men and women the harm they've caused in the only way they'll understand, when it's hurting them. You've got to hit the sociopath where it hurts, and Hooper's got the skills that pay the bills.

Poetic justice!
This series has been absolutely awesome, and this one continues that tradition!! One nasty, nasty bitch gets her equally nasty (and smelly) comeuppance!! This one is gagworthy , vile, nasty, gross, and horrible, with such a poetic ending!! Brilliant!! 5/5 ghastly cats
GLAD I DIDN'T UPGRADE TO SMELL-O-VISION
Dani has created the epitome of a self-serving psychopath for this one. Amy is manic and frantic to have everything done her way, immediately. Concequeces for you are plentiful if she sees you're not working hard enough. A horrible scumbag indeed. Glad Hoop was there to show her the error of her ways.
