Polyphemus by Zachary Ashford
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Thank you to Netgalley, darkly press and Zachary Ashford for the Arc of Polyphemus.
We all have dreams don't we? Hitting big, being successful . And sometimes we can succumb to our biggest demons. This is what happened to Stephen Oaks when being the lead singer of Polyphemus massively overdosed on stage and left him at deaths door. After rehab, he sat in a half way house, trying to keep clean and rebuild his friendships with his best mates and band members. He's introduced to. Anton, a guru and a life coach who initiates him into something that's even darker than Meth!
Metal and dark forces? what can go wrong! I really enjoyed this book. I was drawn in my Stephen Oaks story and how he was trying to rebuild the trust within his friendship circle . I also enjoyed the bands separate stories which builds the characters ,made them 3D and built the dynamics between them all. The supernatural element was well done which built into graphic spatterpunk and didn't let go until the end. In some scenes, I could feel my skin crawl, feeling what Oaks was feeling! O also loved the illustrations that came with the ebook, really brought the book to life.
A great first read from Zachary for me and ill be looking to read more in 2024
