 Mutant moths that kill half of all men and turn the other half into violent maniacs? Sign me up!

I will admit that the main reason I read this book is because my friend's mum wrote it and he has been telling me about it for over eight months now (I have been getting very hyped). BUT I will be making my mum and grandma read it next.

Moths is a little like if The Handmaid’s Tale and The Power had a baby, but with a older main character torn between wanting to forget the past and wanting to honour it and an array of LGBT+ characters backing her up.

Love blooms, in all its forms, despite the world around it, forming the threads that hold us together.

TW for intense (slightly gratuitous) scences of violence against women including (view spoiler) There is also a lot of very dubious sexual relations between characters that may or may not be able to consent properly.

PS: Hi Jane, I know you're reading this, could I maybe get an ARC of Toxxic, I promise I'll write a review and tell all my friends please?
