Now Entering Addamsville
by Francesca Zappia
Thank you, HarperCollins Canada for a copy of this book!
I was first introduced to Zappia via Owlcrate; they selected Eliza and Her Monsters for one of their monthly boxes. I’m so glad they did - EAHM is now one of my favourite YA books… ever. So just imagine how excited I was to get a copy of her newest book, Now Entering Addamsville!
NEA reminds me a lot of Supernatural; gritty demon fighting with a cool car. Zora (the main character) is an outcast in her little town. Everyone is convinced that she is a pyromaniac, when in reality she can see spirits and fights fire-starting demons that feed on the souls of those they kill. Her life kind of sucks: her dad is in jail for fraud, her mom disappeared while fighting demons, and she is a suspect in a fire that killed the school janitor.
It’s an emotional story, although not in the way you would think. Zora’s frustration and anger jump off the page - my anxiety really ratcheted up while reading about the crap/judgement she had to endure. It’s a rare author that can hit me in the feels twice in a row.
I don’t see any buzz on Goodreads about a sequel, but I really hope that changes. There were some unanswered questions at the end that I would love to see resolved. Fingers crossed.
