I think that Edgar Cantero now owns part of my soul and I will read every single book that he writes.
This book is based loosely on Scooby-Doo but is much darker. The characters are much deeper and it was just such an amazing read.
The characters are amazing. Each character has their own trauma which is intricately explored throughout the book. I never felt like the trauma was cheap. It was super though through and super interesting. The relationships between the characters were also super rich and interesting. Honestly this book felt like a character study where all of the characters were literally amazing. I also really enjoyed the exploration of sexuality as something that can be specific to people rather than something more general.
The plot was amazing. I wasn't sure if this book would take a supernatural turn but I'm so glad that it did. I think that it took the best parts of Scooby-Doo monsters and made it so much deeper and scarier. I couldn't put the book down because of how anxious I was about the characters surviving. The intricacy of the plot was amazing and it didn't come together until the end but even so the pay off was literally amazing.
I only just read this recently but it already holds a special place in my heart. Please please please read this book because it is literally amazing. Then read the rest of his books because you will not regret it.
