I had to sit and digest this book a little after I finished.

The book's concept of a threat within a threat was a great twist though I would have loved to see that played out a little longer.

That being said this book had my skin crawling at times. The various additional resources sprinkled throughout the book gave a back story to the plot line.

Overall The Troop kept me reading and guessing on who would make it out, if anyone.

#BookRecommendation Not a zombie book but when something happened (not spoiler), then things reappear and like to eat from inside out. Well almost, quite as zombie😜I‘m not a big fan of zombie trope. Zombies remind me the Michael Jackson song, so every time I see a zombie, I perceive it dancing the song 😳🤷🏽‍♀️😂😂😂

I went into this with pretty much just the description on the jacket.
It should probably contain a huge TW for all the very descriptive animal violence, so be forewarned.
This got more gruesome and gorily grotesque as it went. Not for a queasy stomach.
But it was also fantastic. didnt really match the general vibe of the PEI we saw, but glad for it, lol.
(Also pic is from cape Breton, NS not PEI)

ShelleyBooksie Thank you for the tw. I've heard a lot about this book and been tempted to check it out but animal violence is a hard no for me. ♡ 4mo

This was a good and disturbing horror novel about a scout troop secluded on an island when a stranger shows up. A stranger who is very sick and hungry.
Warning: don't eat while reading 🪱

This was a readable story but I wasn‘t gripped by it! I enjoyed the atmosphere the author created but that‘s about it.

I also wasn‘t freaked out by the body horror/gore element.

I wanted to love this book, but it just didn‘t deliver on the horror front. Especially in comparison to books such as Misery - damnnn that book had me squirming in my seat and checking my legs as I was reading it.

Not a terrible book, but kinda dull

Finally getting around to posting this. Took me a while to read, since I had strep and didn‘t read much. I‘ve read this before, and remember liking it, and I was right. Didn‘t remember any details, so it was almost like reading it for the first time. It‘s fun, gory body horror/disease story; while not scary, it‘s creepy.

IamIamIam I've had this on my Bookspin list for a while & it just hasn't come up, lol... going to have to take the leap! 2y

Super horrific and disgusting. A scout troop and their scoutmaster are camping alone on an island when •something• shows up. The story isn‘t really that scary, it‘s just so nasty. Body horror and such. I listened to the audio when I was driving and the narrator‘s interpretation of the story really adds a creep factor and sense of foreboding. I liked this reading experience but had to quit eating twice while I was reading.

HotMessJess What an excellent read!! The entire time I was engrossed in this book I thought about how absolutely gritty and terrifying it was! glad you enjoyed it as well!!! 2y

Book 12🎧
Oh… my…LAWD. I‘m not even sure I can put this book into words🤢😦
My best attempt ➡️ Grotesque, vividly descriptive, disgusting, horrifying… just why…!
I could have done without a certain character… you‘ll see🐈
I did enjoy it but it was a bit much at times 😂

Scout leader Riggs and his 5 scouts are on a weekend camping trip, an island just off the coast of PEI. When they arrived they never expected to run into a monster like this.

It is super gory, dark and violent. There is one small part where animal cruelty was committed by one of the characters. It is like sci-fi horror. I think is YA. It is better if you go blind. If you liked those old movies like Alien where a strange creatures are inside of people you will like this one. Like most of horror movies, unreal but I liked it🤷🏽‍♀️I like the way characters were described. It was also sad.3.9/4⭐️As a YA horror story

After reading “Little Heaven” I expected it to be gross, but I think this was more disgusting, honestly. Which I‘m okay with. I like when horror makes me scared or uncomfy. The only things I didn‘t necessarily care for were the ending and the excessive animal violence.

5 points since this is more horror but 110 for the 11 hours reading time. So 115 points for #TeamSlaughter

There‘s a lot about this book that felt excessive. Sometimes that worked for me, and sometimes it didn‘t. I really liked how creepy and unsettling the beginning was, but that ended up fading, and then it was just gross, which didn‘t work as well for me.

Sorry @FantasyChick but this is one #NewYearWhoDis book I couldn‘t finish ☹️

This is my 2nd attempt at reading The Troop. As a lover of horror, I didn‘t find it to be too disgusting but I‘m not a fan of animal abuse in books. Plus after 25%, I was still feeling a bit bored.

monalyisha Yikes! Can‘t win em all. To the next! 4y
FantasyChick I agree that the animal abuse was a bit much. The worm horror didn't get me near as bad as that. This one is kind of hit or miss and I can see why. It's not for everyone. Hopefully the next one is better for you!! 4y
Godpants I don‘t really get the cult behind his stuff, I find it all a little underwhelming. 4y

TheLibrarian @UnidragonFrag Animal scenes get me. If it doesn‘t pop up till the end, I tend to power through but this was a tad much (and early). 4y
night_shift @TheLibrarian yeah, same. I'm trying to remember.. but I don't think there's anything as bad after that. I can definately understand not wanting to finish after that though 😰 4y
