What Did I Just Walk Into?
Somewhere between The Island of Dr. Moreau, a mutant family reunion, and a post-apocalyptic TED Talk on genetics, this book showed up like, “You thought your bloodline was complicated?” And honestly? I was here for it.
There’s a peaceful village. There’s a “gift” that definitely comes with side effects. There’s an old threat no one saw coming because of course there is. Oh, and let’s not forget the hybrid-human drama that makes every backyard BBQ feel like it’s one DNA test away from chaos.
Here’s What Slapped:
The premise is wild in the best way: animal-human hybrids trying to live their best peaceful life until someone shows up to wreck it.
There’s a strange poetic rhythm to the way the world unfolds with equal parts mysticism, family drama, and genetic mayhem.
Just when you think you’ve got a handle on what’s going on… surprise! You don’t. And I respect that.
Also, can we talk about the audacity of the ending? No spoilers, but let’s just say Book 2 better have answers, snacks, and a guidebook.
What Could’ve Been Better:
Look, I still don’t know exactly what half these characters are capable of, but honestly, the mystery is kind of part of the charm.
Perfect for Readers Who Love:
📖 Sci-fi with strong moral undertones and strange powers
📖 Generational secrets and oh-no-you-didn’t plot twists
📖 Apocalypse-adjacent chaos but make it genetic
📖 Found families with fur, claws, and complicated feelings
📖 Short reads with big questions and bigger consequences
I didn’t expect to get emotionally attached to a book about genetically hybrid villagers on the edge of societal collapse, but here we are. I have questions. I have theories. And I’m absolutely reading the next one.
