Maul Rats by Ivy Tholen
dark
tense
medium-paced
4.75
I loved this and still rated it five stars despite the fact I wasn't a fan of the killer reveal (I thought there was a much better set up for an alternate suspect). The reason It's still five stars? So many reasons... Ivy Tholen's books are so fun and so well written, she absolutely excels at writing fantastically unique and wacky antagonists. I felt the characters were also so well written and developed (a criticism I had with her previous book 'Tastes Like Candy' which despite that fact was also a five star read). The fact that she created a whole horror franchise in here too was fantastic and to make the 'final girl' in that franchise and in this book black was another positive for me (I'm white fyi). Finally there are subtle Easter eggs sprinkled throughout giving nods to her previous work which I absolutely ate up and loved and which inferred that we're dealing with a shared universe which is always fun.
