literaryhaunt 's review for:
This Delicious Death
by Kayla Cottingham
First, thank you to SOURDCEBOOKS Fire, Kayla Cottingham, and NetGalley for providing this eArc in exchange for my honest thoughts. This book will be released on April 25, 2023.
This was an absolute thrill ride that had me on the edge of my seat from start to finish.
Let's start from the beginning- This Delicious Death takes place three years after the Hollowing, an event that turned a small percentage of people into flesh-eating ghouls. Four best (ghoul) friends ghouls, Zoey, Celeste, Valeria, and Jasmine, are attending a music festival in the desert as a last hurrah before graduation. However, when festival-goers start disappearing, the girls quickly realize that someone is drugging ghouls and making them go feral. If they don't figure out how to stop it, and soon, no one at the festival is safe.
What I loved about this book was the ghoul gang, aka the main characters of this story. Flashbacks take us on a journey through their lives and how they became ghouls, and their experiences in a world that was already wary of them, now even more wary and hateful. The LGBT representation in the book is also fantastic, I was really impressed by this book's ability to hold its own among the queer horror it's being released with this year!
This was a super fun read and I am so excited for more from this author!
