In case you needed another reason to be weary of fraternities, AudraKate Gonzales gives us a frat full of monsters in Omega Beta Monster. I'm a sucker for Greek mythology, so I really enjoyed the way it was incorporated into the story, giving us not just some fun monsters, but cults and gods too. Omega Beta Monster is aware of how these myths usually go, and in some ways, Miles feels set up to be the classic 'chosen one' type hero before Gonzales reminds us that being the chosen one isn't always what it's cracked up to be. Overall, a fresh take on YA horror.

There is and always has been a distinct lack of mythological monsters and scenarios in horror. I’m not talking about a period piece, I mean modern setting with a friggin’ Cyclops and stuff. Audrakate Gonzalez decided to fill that void, and not only that, she said “what if I also made it feel like 90’s teen horror?” I don’t know not a thing nothing about baseball but I know that this was a home run. The blurb from Goldy Maldovsky is very fitting too as this feels like a cousin to Of Earthly Delights. Bonus points for the mention of the best after swimming meal, a deli sandwich and chips. K thx.

Loved it. This story is equally creepy and exciting! Gives off Goosebumps meets the skulls vibes. I also loved the 90s references, the Greek mythological monsters. It's a great read!.

As is tradition with the Totally Freaked series, "Omega Beta Monster" is another eerie and nostalgic romp through the 90s and honestly, this entry might just be my favorite so far.
We follow Miles as he enters his freshman year of college, pledging at the same frat his parents did, which is already enough pressure in and of itself. But then you toss in the beautiful and alluring Meg (who also has a sinister twin sister named Alexandra), crazy college antics, Greek mythology AND monsters galore? Yes please!
The writing is very much in the vein of Stine/Pike and I could easily picture this on the shelf beside their names. I was always fascinated by Greek mythology as a kid, and it was fun seeing it used here in a horror centered book rather than fantasy. And that dark twist near the end? YES.
Pledge this one onto your TBR... unless you want to possibly face Scylla's wrath.

This book is epic! It was so awesome to see Greek mythology used in horror. I hope this inspires a new generation of kids to learn more about Greek history and mythology. Remember, kids, everyone serves the gods.
Grab this one if you are in the mood for something spooky, fun, and highly entertaining!
It was totally rad of Mad Axe Media to give me an ARC.
