Jilly's Reviews > Cronin's Key

Hello? I was told there would be zombies!! Where the fuck are they?
This is the worst apocalypse ever.
No, I'm not even talking about the book yet. All of my reviews will start with me bitching about the apocalypse we have going on here in real life. It totally sucks!
I was expecting cool goth clothes, weapons, zombie-killing, and a rebellion I could join. Instead I'm not even wearing new pajamas. They are yesterday's. The only thing I'm killing is time as I turn into a zombie from Netflix binging all day. It's boring! And not nearly as much fun as promised in movies and books.



Okay, so this book was me trying to live up to my son's expectations when he walked by me and said, "What are you reading, mom? Gay vampire cyborgs in space?" Damn, I love that kid! He just gets me. So, I tried, and I'll keep searching for that perfect book, but instead I settled for this gay vampire mummy book. I mean, mummies? That's new. I'm all in.


Yeah, I have a feeling I know what everyone's Halloween costumes will be this year.

The book starts out rough. I mean, really rough. Like, "who wrote this, a monkey who loves gay vampire mummies?" kinda rough. But, the writing smooths out in the middle somewhere. Or, I don't know, maybe I just stopped caring. Or, that monkey took some writing classes.


Okay, maybe I need to cut back on the chill pills.

Either way, it got to be somewhat readable. And, there were vampire mummies, so it lived up to my expectations.

So, I'm off to read the next one.
