A group of suburban ladies have turned a shed into a She Shed where they meet for a monthly wine night. But the night they celebrate the She Sheds grand opening something feels off, something sinister is lurking about. The moms must find a way to get rid of a demonic presence with the homeowners association meddling in between. 

Going into this book I loved the concept, suburban housewives battling a demon while trying not to alert the homeowners association - what’s not to like! While this read quickly I did find it a tad dry. But … perhaps that’s the whole point. Even I can attest that buying any sort of kitchen item or household tool brings me joy in my 30s where in my 20s I could’ve cared less.

I liked the way the book panned out and the characters reminded me of that show Desperate Housewives, which I enjoyed back in the day. I didn’t love this overall but I didn’t hate it either. Grab this if you’re looking for something fun without any stress.

Thank you @penguinrandomca @penguincanada for sending me a copy of the book in exchange for a review, 3✨!

Thanks for buddy reading with me @literary_lizard!
