Oh man, did I love this book!! It’s snarky and fun, irreverent and creepy and I can’t believe it took me this long to get around to it! I did not read the first book (although – now I will). The story is about two burnout friends who are the only ones who can see a parasite infecting their little town and wreaking havok. They both took a drug that expanded their minds and they are trying desperately to destroy these spider-like creatures and save their town from being wiped off the map to save the infection from spreading.
I laughed out loud so many times reading this book. It was perfectly written, balancing horror with humor. My favorite part was a chapter written from the dog’s perspective, seeing how she viewed the world and her owner was hilarious and heartening. The pitch on the back of the book says it follows two unlikely heroes but I would argue there are four as Molly and Amy are pretty bada** in their own rights.
If you’re a fan of Daryl on The Walking Dead or the movie Shaun of the Dead, you will love this book. It’s perfect for spooky season or just for a day when you need a pick me up. βοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈ
