If you want a mix of the walking dead/ covid lockdown. This book is for you. It’s based around 4 girls who go through an event calling The Hollowing and the people affected can only survive by eating human flesh

This Delicious Death by @kcottcan

This book was gifted to me by my bby girl, Cait; and I tore into it once I sat down to read it.

PROS:

🧟‍♀️Solid World Building

🧟‍♂️Well placed flashbacks and inserts at the beginning of the chapters that helped you feel more connected to the characters in the present or give you a better idea of what is going on outside our main character’s POV.

🧟‍♂️Celeste is an icon.

🧟‍♀️varied LGBTQIA+ representation

🧟‍♂️a new-ish, unique take on zombies

🧟‍♀️Best friends to soulmates

🧟‍♂️Found family

CONS:

🧟‍♂️The fact people could find time to be racist, sexist, or homophobic during a literal zombie apocalypse felt a little too real for me.

🧟‍♀️It felt a little Deus Ex Machina at times when certain things just happened to conveniently appear or be there when needed, but my biggest gripe with this is that I wanted MORE of the characters and things getting neat little ribbons was stopping that.

🧟‍♂️Capitalism making its way into what she be considered medical treatment (ie SynFlesh)

🧟‍♀️People peopling their way through the apocalypse

🧠🧠🧠🧠 / 4.5 out of five SynFlesh brains for this cute little fast paced LGBTQIA+ horror pick
