bibliosizzle 's review for:

Deadstream by Mar Romasco-Moore
4.0

I enjoyed this book. It was creepy at times, over the top at times, funny at times, and also thought provoking. Romasco-Moore gives a very tongue in cheek perspective on today's internet culture. "Doom scrolling" has that name for a reason and this just brings that to a whole new level. I also liked how I wasn't entirely sure if this was an issue of mental health or reality. I liked the characters and the banter. I like the queer representation. Also, the online comments were hilariously entertaining.

My only criticism was that I wish that the book maybe took itself less seriously, because it wasn't entirely apparent if this was meant to be satire and silly or taken seriously. I didn't take any stars away for this though, because doesn't most horror do that?

Overall the book was great fun.
