Religious trauma, horny zombies and good doggies.
Lilith made the right choice.

From the authors note:
“Here’s to dancing, book by book, question by question, through this vast, shining existence. Together.”

A very dark read with real American Psycho vibes. Pretty messed up and gets better as it goes. The main character was well crafted and engaging. It makes some great points about female villains and their motivations.

A disease is spreading across America that makes people frenzy with lust. This horror-filled future is next-level scary when you are a sheltered teenage girl—a terrifying examination of consent, agency, and morality! LibroFM Review for Raven Bookstore

I enjoyed this one, and how it unapologetically borrowed from—and in my opinion, vastly improved upon—AMERICAN PSYCHO, a book that I'm on record for absolutely loathing. I have my reasons, and I can't be bothered going through them yet again.

But this one? I enjoyed Maeve's journey to finding herself, to breaking free of the conventions, I loved the backstory, I loved all of it. Even when it got gorey, though Leede looks away as much as she stares down the gore.

However, when comparing it with her next novel, AMERICAN RAPTURE, I can see how she'd grown from this to that. Less reliance on other novels and music to make her point.

A good book, and worth the read. I'm looking forward to what she comes up with next.
