Did some outdoor reading with my inquisitive wee dog. This book is a lot of fun so far with its humour, horror, and ever-shifting character dynamics. I‘m pretty sure I‘ll need the sequel ASAP.

dylanisreading I loved this one. 2y
xicanti @dylanisreading I‘m excited to really wallow in it tonight. 2y

I loved the characters and snappy dialogue in this mix of sci-fi, fantasy and horror but found the plot rather chaotic. Despite that, I look forward to reading more from this author.

Current total for the #20in4 readathon: 8 hours and 20 minutes.

Horror/speculative fiction with a big dash of humour that makes it whimsical & fun. Two young people—one brown, one white—scramble from Canada to Morocco to the Middle East to save the world from Ancient Bastards. Fortunately, one of them is a genius who has been preparing for this by teaching herself ancient Akkadian, Sumerian & Babylonian. Her abilities have a believable explanation, which is part of why this book is so good. #canadianauthor

vivastory This sounds fantastic. Will definitely be checking out 3y

I‘d lost my appetite in the heat but made myself eat a couple of dates, startled by their rich sweetness. I‘d never eaten one before, and wanted to nudge Johnny and be like, “Look, I‘m on my first date,” but she didn‘t look like she was in the mood.

rabbitprincess Whenever my other half eats dates, he offers me one and says “Want a date?” 😂 3y
Lindy @rabbitprincess It never gets old 😉 3y

Cats in this novel are used as spies to detect magic. Seems reasonable. #catsoflitsy

“We are not travelling with a gun,” I said. “Especially a stolen cop gun.”
“But what if we need it?” She fished one out anyway and—I assumed, having never seen it done in real life—put the safety on, then tucked it into the waistband of her khakis, where it promptly tried to pants her, exposing penguin-print panties that I looked away from in horror, too late. The fate of the world rested on someone in novelty underwear.

And something always goes wrong, because the gods are finicky fuckers, they‘re like my Aunt Edna on meth, they scream when you move the doily on the coffee table.

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Love the description you posted, and the one for the book sound really good too! Stacking! 3y
Lindy @Riveted_Reader_Melissa 👍 I heard about this book from Jenny @readingenvy and was surprised to find the author lives in my hometown. 3y
LeahBergen 😆😆 3y
dylanisreading The quotes you're posting from this book are making me want to read it. Stacked. 3y
Lindy @Bianca I‘m glad. Dark speculative fiction isn‘t what I usually read these days, but the humour in Mohamed‘s style hit just the right note. 3y

For fuck‘s sake, me thinking it was an alien or a yeti or some weirdo genetic splice. Our government couldn‘t even get running water on reservations, there was no way it could clone a bear with a snake. If anything, aliens were more likely than some garbage animal cooked up in a government lab.

Riveted_Reader_Melissa I just read about this in Seven Fallen Feathers, and it is just a sad side story to the main problem in that book. It‘s all a travesty!! 3y
Lindy @Riveted_Reader_Melissa A travesty, yes indeed. 😔 3y

Lindy @Cathythoughts Indeed. And today I was able to get out of town for a few hours to walk in the countryside. Even more relaxing! 3y
