Catch Lili Too

Sophie Whittemore creates their own world in Minnesota and I do not want to live there. Just saying. Whittemore's descriptions are creepy and otherworldly in Catch Lili Too. I want to echo Byron's, then Lili's, and freaking everyone else's, “Why would you go there?!”

Whittemore compiles their own Scooby gang and what a cast of characters we have. Let's run a quick rundown: Byron the gay poltergeist, Jason the trans necromancer with ADHD, Jo the Asian lesbian ghoul, Ikiaq the Indigenous Inuit shapeshifter, and rounding out the gang is the newly powere Patty the lesbian witch. Oh and let's not forget the “how did I get myself into this?” leader Lili who is an asexual Siren. Talk about a diverse cast of characters. Do not worry, Whittemore adds more to this collective, but they also take some away. Be forewarned.

Catch Lili Too is told through Lili's point-of-view and Whittemore breaks the fourth-wall by having Lili talk directly to us which is amusing. Plus Whittemore has some of the funniest chapter headings for this story and it matches Lili's voice perfectly.

The story seems simple enough as it is about a tired and depressed immortal who does not know whether she wants to live to see another day when they are all the same. Lili is just passing through Gamin when she runs across the first dead body...and then somehow ends up finding another and another until she is investigating the murders with a rag-tag and quickly growing team. It sounds so simple, but Whittemore makes it so delicious.

I was hooked. Gamin has vampires, witches, zombies, and more. This is not a place you want to be for Halloween. Whittemore needs to write more about our “Scooby Gang” as I cannot get enough. Action. Romance. Diversity. Blood. Lots of blood. Catch Lili Too is a book you want to seek your teeth into...or claws - either way works. Just read the first book in the “Gamin Immortals” series and meet the gang so you recognize them when they knock on your door.

I received an ARC of this book and I am writing a review without prejudice and voluntarily.
