Read it very quickly until the last quarter of the book, but that's my fault not the books. Enjoyed the first half of the book much more, fun to read something in a genre I'm not used to!

It's hard to rate this book because of how weird the pacing is. It takes more than half the book to actually get to anything interesting. When it finally does get to the point, the character reactions are so unrealistic it makes everything feel goofier than intended. Would've been a lot better as a short story than a book. 3 stars for originality though.

Like The Office or Superstore but make it fantastical horror. There were scenes that grossed me out so much I was physically gagging. There was also lots of humour, but I found that zapped out by the end. Strong start and middle, but I definitely lost interest by the end. Liked this more than The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires and I might check out more by him in the future after this one.
