Mel loves Sasha and dreams of a day that Sasha might reciprocate her feelings (even though she's straight) - so the fact that it's thirty degrees outside in January and hasn't rained for a year simply passes her by. Mel is just about coping with being the only 'out' lesbian in school and all the sniping that Janis and Ella aim her way, as well as her dreary Saturday job with the stupidly posh Dorian... But when domestic animals suddenly lethally turn on the human race, and Mel finds herself stuck in a mansion with Dorian and Ella, her love-life suddenly turns on its head in the most extraordinary way.A screamingly funny LGTBQ+ love story from a brilliant new talent.
A funny apocalypse story? Yes, they really do exist! Mel's observations and phrases are hilarious and the way she deals with things is fantastic.
It's a really inventive apocalypse, not one I've seen anywhere before, and I was glued to the book as I read. I never guessed what was going to happen and it all seemed to unfold really naturally! You should be aware that there is some violence, mostly played for comedy, and that Mel does suffer some depression afterwards.
The ending seems to indicate that there'll be at least one more book in the series, and I can't wait. This is my new favourite series.
Apocalypse Cow publishes on the 6th of June, 2024. I received a free copy and am giving an honest review.
