Jennifer Strange by Cat Scully
4.0

Wow, I had SO much fun with this book! It reads like a typical YA book, so I was actually caught off guard (in the best way) by the brutality and pulse-pounding suspense of the first major paranormal encounter. It’s violent, memorable, and instantly hooked me into the book. Comparisons to the Supernatural and Evil Dead franchises are very apt, with dashes of Haunting of Hill House and Ninth House thrown in. Just replace the Winchester’s with a pair of sisters and the Deadites with...well actually those can stay (they’re just joined by a host of other supernatural entities and occurrences)

Strong leads, queer representation, twists and turns, almost non-stop action, some gore, and lots of creepy creepers...I’ll say it again, this book is a blast. Great for teens and adults alike! I only wish the next installment was out already so I could continue the adventure!
