I was very excited when I heard that Legumeman were releasing Steve Gerlach’s work. Previously, the author’s work has been difficult to get hold of at an affordable price in the UK, with titles such as this commanding at least £50 for a hard copy. Legumeman are steadily releasing more of Steve’s work, which is great news for his fans.
This book absolutely blew me away. It is one of those books that will stay with you forever. It tells of Zoe and John trying to find John's girlfriend...but all is not as it seems. The storyline is totally unexpected. I was reading it and literally screaming at my Kindle for John (one of the main characters) to sort his head out (don’t want to say too much as I don’t want to ruin the story). The author lulls you into a nice sense of security as you are happily going along with the plot and then WHAM – the plot changes and you are left thinking ‘Oh My God’. Very graphic, very gruesome, very cringeworthy – just how I like my books. As the book nears the end, we find out the real reason for all the shenanigans, and we see a slightly different side to John, who throughout the story we have felt quite sorry for, but we still feel for him just the same.
Steve Gerlach, you have one twisted mind and we love you for it. As you read this book your sympathies for the characters shift constantly as you try to suss out what is going to happen. This is seriously one of the best books I have ever read. If you like Laymon, then you will love this. A reviewer on Amazon stated that the characters were naive, but for me, this is what made it such a great read. I was shaking my head and shouting at my Kindle whilst reading this. I feel that the majority of Laymon’s characters are naive (which is why I compared this book to a Laymon) – but that is what makes a great read for me. Be warned though, the graphic descriptions will have you squirming in your seat. And if you’re a bloke…well trust me, you will never look at women the same again. Excellent value for money – you have to buy this book.
