The Deading by Nicholas Belardes
4.0

Birds, snails, and climate change are at the heart of this fantastic novel!! Nicholas Belardes brings us the story of Blas who is a teen that is an avid birder in the town of Baywood CA. Strange snails start appearing at an oyster farm and soon after all hell breaks loose! Belardes deep knowledge of birds really comes through and we see how they as well as the humans deal with the insanity that ensues. Part Sci-fi, part eco/cosmic horror, Belardes finds a way to really scare you while showing us how important nature is on this planet!
