Peachy by Camri Kohler

Only show reviews with written explanations

I kinda left it here. Its a soft dnf bc I wanna give it more of a chance but I haven't picked it up since I read the first few chapters at the start of July. It doesn't help that I can't find an audio version, and right now I only really have time to listen to books.

I'm always on the lookout for fresh horror written by women and Peachy delivered. Peachy is a story about witches and monaters, and it's also a our depression and found family. The imagery and tone really put me in the story, especially the way the story explores depression and emotion. We really get to experience the MC moving through her depression as she discovers a new side of herself while also getting an entertaining story about magic and monsters. The magic system and take on witches and covens was unlike anything I've read before and learning about the world really kept me invested in the story. Normally I'm not into vampire, werewolf, sort of creature horror, but I loved how they work in this story. There were some points where the pacing felt a off and I was left wanting a little more information or story about some of the characters. Overall it was a really fun read and I'm looking forward to reading more in this world.

Peachy is like if Victoria from Twilight was obsessively crushing on Bella instead of wanting to kill her. And if Bella was a lazy, beer drinking, shower avoidant twenty something. I loved everything about Peachy. Frankie is prickly and rude, Ben is a major weirdo angel baby, Cleo is haughty and genuine, and Jessamae is just true definition of feral. They all work so weirdly together and their dynamics are obscenely entertaining to read. The way Camri Kohler describes things like rotting dead bodies and demons overtaking people is so vividly disgusting. The vibes of Peachy are “gross.” And it was perfect. All the juicy horrifying stars for this book.
