Mixed race teenager Scotch is out one night with her brother when suddenly a huge bubble of light explodes over Toronto. Her brother disappears and the Chaos erupts - strange creatures are running free, people's bodies are mutating, and sticky black entity threatens to devour Scotch herself.

This book sounds fantastic on the surface. Caribbean folklore blended with fantasy and anything could happen? Sounds great. And the Chaos portions of the book are great. It's like dadaist art on the page. There were several bizarre creatures and psychedelic images that I giggled out loud at. Unfortunately, the plot itself is muddled and thin. It seems like the author had a great idea for a short story and tried to stretch it too far.

A lot of threads are dropped or only partially explained, and I really had a hard time with the parts where Scotch is fighting back her own ableism and homophobia. They were heavy-handed and rushed.

I'd really like to try other books by this author because I know she's well loved among fantasy readers. Please give me your recommendations!
