Suburban Hell by Maureen Kilmer
3.5
Suburban Hell is the first foray into horror for author Maureen Kilmer. The story features Amy and her friends. Melissa and Jess as they try to save their other friend Liz, from the clutches of a demonic creature in their otherwise very average suburban neighborhood.
I loved the idea of a bunch of average suburban moms trying to deal with PTA. Drama will also fighting demons and this definitely brings you that. I enjoyed the camaraderie between the women and I thought that the story was pace pretty well. It did tend to kind of drag during like the middle third but I love the ending and I thought the beginning was nice as well.
Well I definitely wouldn't call this book Scary. It's more of like a satire horror but it's a fun read. I did get a little annoyed how the book just kind of accepted that a lot of the men in the situation are kind of helpless and so it was left to the women kind of. But at the end of the day that's probably accurate to life so that's not necessarily a mark on the creator just more so I would have liked to see more supportive husbands. Maybe I don't know. Otherwise, it was a good read. Other than the pacing. I would say it's a decent book and if this sounds like something you're interested in, definitely pick it up
