MAW

by Danielle DeVor

IT WAS A BAD DAY FOR THE T-BONES.Knowledge. Friends. A Family. That's what they were, trying to survive in the underbelly of America. That is, until IT came. A being from another world who isn't afraid of their weapons, their street cred. And, the worst part about it, no one would believe them. With the creatures taking down both allies and enemies alike, Marko and his band of brothers must figure out a way to stop it. To kill it, long before it conquers the world and beyond.

About the author

Danielle DeVor spent her early years fantasizing about vampires and watching “Salem’s Lot” way too many times. After living briefly in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, she moved back to her hometown to write. When not writing and reading about weird things, you will find her hanging out at the nearest coffee shop, enjoying a mocha frappuccino.

This story does a lot with very few pages.

Starts out as a possible dystopian story then takes a turn for the vampire from out of space survival story, then it turns into domestic horror (TW for repeated SA) with a sci-fi twist. I enjoyed that DeVor took the time to consider small items of "details" as tools to add to the horror of the situation (lack of clothing items per example).

OK, I met the author 2 weeks ago, and I explained to her that I'd never read any of her work, so she begins to tell me about her books.

Describing this one she says it's like The Warriors meets. War Of The Worlds.

She had me at The Warriors.

This book is exactly as she described, but there's more.

So this takes place in an apocalyptic New York setting I believe, and gangs are still rampant, why I'm not sure because there's nothing left, yet they are still fighting for turf. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Well this thing comes out of the sky and a naked lady comes out from the ship and opens her mouth real wide like a snake and bits the neck of the rival gang's leader.

Our main character ends up in the ship and basically becomes a sex slave to this lady.

The story gets real weird from here, but I did enjoy it. I liked the gang parts better, but the way the author wrote this it kept me captivated and I wanted to find out how this wild tale would end.

So, if you're into the weird alien sex, gang fighting, and apocalyptic worlds give it a shot. I had fun with it.

Quick read, action packed, with these weird space vampire creature thingies. Loved this one. A great novella to enjoy in one afternoon.
