Tender Is The Flesh

5 stars “She had the human look of a domesticated animal” This novel is absolutely disgusting and I mean that in the most respectful way possible. The whole concept of this book—All meat is infected therefore humans cannot consume it. This leads the the massacre of farm to pet animals, ultimately resulting in the consumption of “special meat” or better known, human meat. We follow Marcos working on a processing plant going through the motions of the transition, his wife leaving, his sister’s views, his father’s declining health and a special gift: and FGP female. Honestly everyone should pick this book up. It dives into the decline of humanity and how far humans will go even trying to live normally. You see characters take certain political views of this transition and the choices Marcos makes and how he interacts with people and “food.” Though reviewing this in 2024, I read this in September of 2023 and it is hands down joining the ranks of my favorite books of all time.

12 Ways To Kill Your Family At Christmas
by Natasha Bache

I received an ARC for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. 12 Ways to Kill Your Family at Christmas by Natasha Bache is a twist on the typical trapped-in-a-snowy-domain thriller. Olivia and her family are invited to an extravagant Christmas get-together at her in-laws mansion before her family is set to move to Australia. What starts as an already tense environment becomes an alarmingly frightening abode when family members start to get picked off one by one after the amendment of one member's will. My mind was set on a very central character within the story until at one point it did not make sense; then I started to go back over some of the other incidents and realized that maybe it was possibly someone else. It became especially apparent with the one death that it couldn't possibly have been who I originally thought it was. The author was very creative in crafting the journal entries to be witty which provided some very slight comedic relief in between all of the dead bodies and I would read another thriller by this author if given a chance. Thank you, Net Galley, for the ARC!

I loved this love story - especially how RP Evans wrote it - placing himself in the story as the listener of the story and afterwards, the writer. What a great concept! And the images of Italy became real in my mind! I never wanted this book to end!

Ok book. Very predictable. Characters were ok. Mom had a dark presence.

Long Way Down
by Jason Reynolds

A powerful, gut-punching novel in verse that tackles gun violence and the cycle of revenge. Reynolds' raw, poetic storytelling and the book's unique elevator-ride structure make for an intense, thought-provoking read .
