Wasps in the Ice Cream by Tim McGregor
3.0
Thanks to Netgalley for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
This was an okay book, it was just mismarketed in my opinion. It reads more like a contemporary rather than a horror, there was nothing scary or horror-ish about it.
Something i didn't enjoy was that there is a big thing that happens in the book that is spoiled in the book's description, but said thing doesn't happen until the 80% mark. How am i supposed to be on the edge of my seat thinking "are his friends gonna find out? and what will happen if they do?" when the summary says "When the secret is exposed, and his friends plot to punish the witch sisters for stealing one of their own, Mark is forced to choose between these two worlds." like c'mon now.
Overall it's a 3-star book for me, kinda forgettable and majorly mismarketed and the description should be fixed to not spoil the book.
