Molly Coughlin has been in Africa for several months now, where she has opened up a free clinic for the mothers and children of the Mamadou tribe.
In this village, there are a pair of powerful shamans - Meru and Sibata - father and son. Good and evil. Sibata has a plan for Molly, and the only person who has been stopping him was his father, whom he has just killed.
Now, Molly will be bringing some very special souvenirs back to America with her. Six strange, black seeds, which need a host.
Right away upon returning home, Molly's parents can tell there is something not right with their daughter, and she is only home for one day before she sets off on her mission to find six perfect human hosts.

SPOILERS PAST THIS POINT

So this was a good book; very very unique, just like The Jim Jams. But also like The Jim Jams, I'm left with questions. I never even found out what's inside the seeds.
I expected to get to read about them hatching, and thought there was going to be some type of creature that came out. I thought the point was to spread some creature around the whole country, or something of the like, but disappointingly, it only made it up to the parasitic relationship with the host. It feels almost unfinished, in a way, as I never really got to understand the whole purpose of the book.
Regardless, even though it was confusing at times and lacked any real answers, it was fun, unique and entertaining and I'd definitely recommend reading it, if you can get your hands on a copy.

I don't know what I just read, but it was one wild ride.

This book is messed up! But I honestly can't give less than three stars to a book that has its main character take a dump in the changing rooms at a department store. Then there's the masturbating lizard. It was weird.
