Suburban Hell
by Maureen Kilmer
Big thanks to Maureen Kilmer, NetGalley, and Penguin Group Putnam for this ARC. I devoured this book! I enjoyed it so much. This was most likely my first horror read and will not be my last read from the author. I thought the concept of the book was very unique. Amy lives in a suburban neighborhood filled with typical PTA moms, but her three friends and herself instantly bond by not being typical moms. They each have their faults, but they enjoy spending time together, not judging each other, and enjoying wine and movie nights. They concoct a plan to build a She Shed, but once construction happens, they unleash an unexpected demon and one of them becomes possessed. Amy, Jess, and Melissa band together to fight the evil while also dodging evil looks from other moms in the neighborhood.
I absolutely loved the bond between the four women in this story. The friendship between them was so relatable. They each had their struggles and wanted to help each other no matter what. The story was creepy and spooky. I've read some stories in the past where it feels they are trying too hard to be horror or supernatural, but this one knew it was horror and made me believe it. I would definitely recommend this one.
