This was such a strange read. Was it just strange enough that I kind of want to know where book 2 is going to go? probably so.

I assume this book was a set up for the series, so I'm not expecting many of the characters we meet here to be reoccurring in future books. The plot was just strange, so many 'wtf' moments and a few that we don't get answers to. I'm still not totally sure if anything paranormal actually happened.

The Florida craziness that we've all read in the news is definitely on full display in this read. I felt for Bobbie, and enjoyed her personal growth arc in the story. ( )

Bobbie Drex is a mechanic at her dad’s place, Robert’s Mechanics, in Nowheresville, Florida. Ok, really it’s Point Paradise, an hour from Gainesville. But it really is out there with not much going on. Until the day Bobbie gets shot in the head and everything changes. Again. Because she’s already come back to run the shop when her dad died six months before and her mom ran off to Vegas to marry the postman two days after his funeral. That just left her cousin Earl to take over the shop and Bobbie wasn’t having that. But little does she know, the shop is going to be the least of her worries from now on.

This is a campy horror that’s fun, funny, and good for some light entertainment. This is not to be taken seriously. No, really. I know the title is Moth Busters and all, but it is not about pest extermination. Ok, maybe it is a bit. But not like any pests we know. Bobbie’s dogmatic attitude is a bit of a drag, but her cousin Earl is funny. And then there’s the supernatural woowoo stuff, William Knickerbocker with the busted up Winnebago, some weird Moth Man, and what’s up with the cop? Weird things are going on and Bobbie gets stuck smack in the middle of it. Which makes for some entertaining reading. ( )
