If This Book Exists, You’re in the Wrong Universe
Book 17: If This Book Exists, You’re in the Wrong Universe by @jasonkpargin is yet another outstanding recommendation from book pal @thebiblionerd
In the fourth installment of JDATE series, we’re back in “Undisclosed” as David, John, Amy, and now Joy face another challenge. I’ll try not to spoil it, but…
If interdimensional parasites feeding on human hosts, a nerd cult worshipping a demonic entity, vengeful teenagers, and a plastic football-sized egg that’s supposed to hatch a cute, colorful stuffed bird when a child “feeds” it through a synchronized smartphone app—but actually contains a beastie that’s luring followers to commit murder and deposit body parts near the egg so it can crack open, unleash its tentacle thingies, and devour said body parts as it inches toward triggering the end of the world—sounds like your kind of thing… then might I recommend the erudite works of Sir Jason Pargin?
His writing is extremely subtle, leaving clues throughout that will have you flipping back to previous chapters when you realize you read right past them. Brilliant. 🦇
Celebrated finishing this series with a @drewestateinternational Undercrown Maduro Toro.
