Moonsick
by Tom O'Donnell
With traces of The Purge, American Rapture, and the very real pandemic we live with every day - Moonsick is a fast paced adventure that keeps you on the edge of your seat.
High school senior Heidi has her life turned upside down when she’s unexpectedly home during a break-in to her house - and winds up being infected by the werewolf plague that’s infected the world. Now on the other side of the looking glass, she has to come to terms with her new reality and decide what she really wants to do with her life - and not just do what is expected of her.
This book is perfect for anyone looking for a team drama/horror that immediately jumps into the plot and doesn’t let up until the last page. I found this book to be a fun, quick read that had me rooting for the werewolves in this story.
Told from both the perspectives of Heidi and one of the special forces police - called “dogcatchers” - who hunt these newfound werewolves. We’re given insight into how the world of this new pandemic works - from regular tests, to home security during the full moon, to those who hunt down the afflicted - as we, the reader, are forced to grapple with the question of who is actually the danger in this new world.
Left with an open-ended resolution that leaves us wanting to see how this world develops, this book makes us consider what impulses we shove down during our daily life - and what it would be like to let them loose.
A huge thank you to the author, Netgalley, and St. Martin’s Press/Wednesday Books for providing me this review copy.
