Book synopsis

Newfoundland, Canada, 1993.

It’s been a year since a handful of kids defeated the Psycho Hose Beast in the sleepy town of Gale Harbour, Newfoundland. Our heroes have entered into the era of rollerblades, Super Nintendo and oversized plaid shirts… unless you’re a goth, then it’s the era of Maybelline eyeliner, boots with too many buckles, and infected safety-pin piercings.

Thirteen-year-old Niall O’Neil is navigating a blossoming relationship with his crush, Harper Jeddore. Unfortunately, the power that allowed them to defeat the monster from the deep is still within them, and they are no closer to understanding or controlling it. When just touching your girlfriend can kill innocent bystanders, it complicates the already precarious practice of teenage dating.

But lurking in the backdrop of teenage romance, a sinister power is growing in Gale Harbour, and dangerous people are turning up in the small town with possibly deadly intentions.

Will the kids defeat this new threat? What did the US Air Force leave in the abandoned Hansen Air Force base? What is a space-surfing butt monkey? And most importantly—will anyone get to touch a boob?

My review

I was lucky enough to be send an advance readers copy of this book from the Author. I really enjoyed the first book and you can see my review for that one here.

It was such fun to be back in Gale Harbour again with these colourful characters. I loved the dynamic of them all and it was so nice to read more about their adventures and friendships.

Of course this book was full of action and adventure and plenty of aliens! This was all mixed with 90’s nostalgia and the Author writes in a way that you can really feel the teenage angst among the main characters. This is a fast paced and has lots of suspense, some moments you will laugh out loud others you will feel emotional at.

These really need to be made into films!
