Hu? Wait, what??? 😂
"How twisted do you like your fairy tales? A half-woman, half-cockroach fused in a bizarre gardening accident? That would be Mrs Jittery Twitch, dwelling in the shadows of our misdeeds. If in danger, you can call upon her help… all she asks is your soul as payment. But she’s just a legend, so no need to worry. Barry Harris is a 28-year-old man, still living with his dear old mum in a little flat above a hairdresser. His obsession with Star Trek and the martial arts won’t help him when he’s forced out on a date. And nobody knows about the weird string of events that’s about to put everyone’s lives in danger. A trio of samurai warriors and the strangest offer of help lead Barry on a perilous mission to save the day. (This book is the second in the Prophecy Allocation series but works fine as a standalone read.)" This has got to be one of the weirdest and most random books I have ever read. In fact I'm still a little fuzzy on what it is I just read exactly. LOL The writing was not bad. In fact the author comes through as very light-hearted and laid back. It is very easy to continue reading the book simply for that fact alone. The dark humor was definitely up my alley and the author got a few chuckles out of me. So good on you Nicky! 👍🏻 There is a lot of cussing and swearing in this book but I don't really mind. I swear like a sailor myself so... yeah LOL 😋 There's also a lot of action and violence in this book but again I don't really mind because I'm a horror fanatic and those things do not bug me. But they may bother other readers. While reading this book I constantly was looking back on it thinking "Wasn't this a Family Guy episode?" as the two seem to be cut from the same cloth. Very dark humor but also having nerd fandom and fantasy/sci-fi elements intermingled. I wouldn't say that I really enjoyed this book but then again I didn't hate it either. I know, I honestly feel a little confused myself. My thoughts are that this is one of those books that people will either really like or they really won't like. Either way however, they will have to just read the book and figure that out for themselves with this one. I would recommend this book to people who like dark adult comedy mixed with sci-fi and fantasy.
