Cadaverous by Jay Bower

4.0

What a great story! This is my second book from Jay Bower and it didn't disappoint!

We follow the story of Gaige and his friends (and their band) and the intriguing and full of surprises Lisa after the main protagonist Gaige, comes back from a concert during an eclypse. What he witnesses there changes him forever and his desire to runite the band and reach fame starts growing so much that takes over his entire life, in ways darker and weirder than he ever expected! When Gaige realises what fulfilling his dreams entails, he doesn't blink twice and start stepping into his destiny without realising that he's part of something much more dangerous and destructive!

I loved the music theme throughout the book and the references to badass bands and songs that reminded me of my teenage years and the characters in the book also reminded me of that yearning feeling for something more and bigger, with the always intriguing lure to the sinister.
I also liked the structure of the book from a research point of view, but I won't tell more to avoid any spoilers.

I'm sure anyone who likes horror would enjoy this book, especially if you're a fan of metal and know the feeling of getting high on music!
