Selena -- Greg Barth

Selena says she's five feet, four inches tall and weighs 98 pounds.  She's whore and a functional alcoholic.  After one wild night she picks up what she thinks is a CD because she likes the artist.  It's not a CD, though, and as a result of her picking it up, some very bad men do some very bad things to her.

This, as it turns out, is a very bad mistake.  After Selena reconnects with her father and picks up a couple of shotguns, revenge happens.  Not the mild kind of revenge.  The extra-violent kind.  The shotguns and machetes kind.

Selena is a novel composed of three connected novellas, and it's as sex-filled, blood-soaked, and violent as anything I've read long time.  It's like the wildest of the men's adventure novels of the '70s, updated for the new millennium.  Definitely not for the faint of heart.

Sorta reminds me of the old film "Gator Bait"
