Welcome to Litsy!

This was absolutely brilliant story: I really liked Casey and hoped she's going to survive. I loved how characters were fleshed out and how easy it was to relate to them.

Atmosphere was amazing! It was creepy and I absolutely loved it. I still would have loved to be a bit more afraid.

This had some twists that I didn't see coming but the major one was quite easy to guess beforehand. That was a tiny disappointment.

I was torn between a so-so and a pick, but you know what? That cover promises bug murder and it delivers. (It also, surprisingly, delivers complicated feels about bad dudes - unexpected! Maybe ultimately misplaced in a bug murder book! Choices!)

Carol Gore definitely lives up to her namesake in vol. 2 of Rewind or Die. Casey Lovitt is trying to protect tourists from the outsized increasingly aggressive insects that are popping up randomly in her beloved wetlands. Her obnoxious sheriff brother, dependent mother & a scientist that she has developed a thing for keeps her busy when she's not dodging freakishly large insects. Another campy fun read from Rewind or Die!

This is a book I read after listening to episode 231 of the Reading Envy podcast, which featured Reggie talking about horror fiction. It‘s a fun old-fashioned creature feature about big bugs that want to eat you. This book is from the Rewind or Die series. I believe each book in the series is a stand-alone, but they are connected by keeping a video-cassette-tape-of-a-70s-80s- horror-movie vibe. This was a nostalgic romp through the horror genre.

Honestly, I still have the creepy-crawly feeling after reading this one, but it was so much fun. This is a short read full of terrifying bugs and gore. I even looked up some of the bugs to find out if they were real. (shudders) #Screamathon

This is another pick from a @Reggie review. I bumped it up after he discussed it with @ReadingEnvy on her latest podcast episode.

If you plan on reading this I suggest not doing it during peak insect season. 😱

I still feel things crawling on me, but I couldn't stop reading this one. Great novella with some gross out moments that painted very vivid images.

#RewindorDie Book 2

@Billypar remember when you commented about this a while back. Mosquitos are growing resistant to insecticides so now science is gonna go release genetically modified mosquitos to combat dengue fever and Zika virus. In the book on the right the entomologist we meet was releasing sterilized mosquitos into a swamp to curb the mosquito population. The one in the book smacked of that Jurassic Park hubris and ended up with football sized horse 👇🏼

I loved the author‘s last name! So fitting. She packed so much ridiculously good stuff into an 93 page novella I‘m in awe! We meet Casey who works for Green Swamp Zipline Adventure and Campground. She starts to notice that the insects from her swamp keep getting larger and more aggressive and it‘s up to her to find out why. Ya‘ll, there‘s a part in here where an alligator is wriggling around in pain and it‘s because a swarm of horseflies 👇🏼

This was a super fun short read. And the first rewind or die novella that I‘ve read but based on this book I‘m definitely going to read more.

In it the insects in a local swamp start getting bigger and craving human flesh and it‘s up to the park ranger to figure out why.
