I thought this was going to suck the second I real Alaska and girl moving there - seemed like a. Twilight dupe. But I’m happy to say I was wrong. Looking forward to the next book to see all the character development. I really hope this series had a good female lead that’s powerful and redeems the vampire romances

This book was spectacular! Such a unique concept abojt horror and slasher films and humor. I really hated the main character for most of the book until the end because she was so neurotic but that was kind of the point right ? I really didn’t see the ending coming the way it did with Skye which was really well done. Highly recommend this if you’re into thrillers and want a taste of something unique !

My childhood is right here in this book I loved it.

Pretty good I wanted to read it before I watched the movie. I love dystopian based books and am excited for the next one

This was my first full read if a Stephen king book and since it was written under his Alia’s, Richard Bachman, there was definitely a different vibe to it. In the introduction, King talks about how Bachman is a representation of him that is more cruel and horrific in other ways than his typical books. I agree with it the whole novel gave me the creeps. It’s like reading The Giver only the dystopic terror is amplified ten-fold. It truly felt like a long walk to even finish this book but I would recommend this as a good read to escape- it definitely gives you that.

This book is fantastic. It is heartbreaking. It is infuriating, confusing, and so hopeful and beautiful. These chapters are like little stores captured in random moments of so many peoples lives, feeling like a mess of confusion until it hits you that they’re all connected and they all make something whole together. The title of this book really gives a clear meaning to me after I finished the last chapter. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to challenge their way of thinking and seeing the possibilities of this world- all surrounded by beauty and science.

This book was so scary in the weirdest way I totally didn’t expect the ending at all! Definitely a wild thriller that feels like it’s giving you answers but really you just have a ton of questions that get wrapped up together in a neat little bow by the end. I loved that there were multiple perspectives as well and now I’m thinking back at why certain characters were chosen for their point of views. Definitely gunna read her new book too.

Spectacular and annoying at the same time!! The reading is intense this isn’t a casual read but definitely worth it. A true adult book of magic and intellect I highly recommend! You’ll love hate and relate to all the characters I can’t wait to read more in the second book.

Grady Hendrix is a genius and amazing writer. I love thé wit of this book blended into the sheer horror of it all told from the perspective of the 1990s housewives. Not only doesn’t he include mystery and horror but he also integrates racial and gender discrimination common at that time in the south, the roles of wives and husbands, the ignorance of southern white society and the common themes of motherhood all women should share. Highly recommend this as a fun horror read that has some humor in it.
