Wasps in the Ice Cream by Tim McGregor
4.0
Mark, avoiding his home life with dear old dad and stepmom, finds himself losing interest in his two best friends as well. In this coming-of-age tale, Mark continues to question the behavior of himself and those closest to him, while falling into an unusual friendship with the one of the town outcasts. Mark has to decide where his loyalties lie and who he is going to stand beside... while trying to ward off the spirit of a dead girl hanging out in his room.
While I would consider this more paranormal than "horror", it was a great read and did have some horror-ish parts. I can understand the blur in genres but don't go into this expecting it to be your typical horrorfest. The cover pulled me in, and the story kept me turning pages... quickly. This book made me feel like I was walking down the main strip of this town in 1987. I loved the pop culture nods to well-loved movies as well. I will reread this again down the road!
4.5 rounded to 5!
Always thankful for Netgalley and the publisher for my copy in exchange for my review! All opinions are strictly my own <3
