Keeper Shelf: Feed by Mira Grant

Feed

I’m back with another Keeper Shelf squee! If you missed my first one, I talked about my deep love of Garden Spells by Sarah Addison Allen and how it tapped into my feelings about how people might view me in relation to both my own and my mother’s mental illness. While Garden Spells has magic, yummy descriptions of food, and small town gossip, we’re about to a one-eighty on this bad boy because my next … Continue reading Keeper Shelf: Feed by Mira Grant

Into the Drowning Deep by Mira Grant

Into the Drowning Deep

When Elyse and I heard about a horror novel with bloodthirsty mermaids, our wonder twin powers activated like never before. Yes, that’s right: killer mermaids. The majority of the book takes place in the near future in 2022. Seven years prior, Imagine Entertainment (think another Syfy Channel) bankrolled a “mockumentary” out to the Mariana Trench. The ship contained journalists, researchers, and the like to investigate whether mermaids were real. The ship was found abandoned with … Continue reading Into the Drowning Deep by Mira Grant

Chimera by Mira Grant

Chimera

Chimera is the final book in the Parasitology Trilogy by Mira Grant. Having reviewed the first two books, Parasite and Symbiont, I felt obligated to read and review the conclusion. Technically, this review is a DNF because I read the first 70 pages, threw a fit, and then skipped around to get the feel of the rest of the book. I read large chunks of the middle as well as the last eighty pages, but I never … Continue reading Chimera by Mira Grant

Symbiont By Mira Grant

Symbiont

It’s not every day that I’m all excited about a tapeworm zombie apocalypse, but I’ve been looking forward to Mira Grant’s book Symbiont for a year, and when a copy landed on my front porch I did quite a dance of joy. This book did not meet all of my lofty expectations, but it was still exciting. It’s not a romance, but I’m reviewing it here because we have many Mira Grant fans (she also … Continue reading Symbiont By Mira Grant

Parasite by Mira Grant

Parasite by Mira Grant

There are three things you need to know about Parasite.  Number One:  It’s not a romance.  It’s a SF/horror/thriller about people being taken over by tapeworms and becoming tapeworm powered zombies.  Number Two:  It’s really, really good.  It was only a slavish sense of loyalty to the author that drove me to even consider reading a book with tapeworms in it and I was captivated.  Number Three:  It ends on a cliffhanger.  This is torture. … Continue reading Parasite by Mira Grant

Parasite by Mira Grant

Parasite by Mira Grant

I wasn’t going to read this book.  I heard “parasitic tapeworms” and I just nope-nope-noped my way out of the room and across the street and into the next town of Nopeville where I put up my nope flag and set out my nope-chair and opened a bag of nope-corn and let my nopetopus roam freely, as it was meant to do.   You see, I am a horror wimp.  Psychological horror I can do … Continue reading Parasite by Mira Grant
