CW: staged suicides, lots of profanity

I just read another review that reminded me of how funny this book actually is! Am upgrading to 4 Stars and will write a proper review eventually. I have so many to back fill (

I didn't grow up on choose your own adventures, nor am I the target age for this book, but when I got the ARC at NYCC I was intrigued all the same. Both stories are well crafted, simultaneously humorous and action-packed. Personally, I preferred Crypt Quest, but it's clear the author preferred Space Battles.

My only two cons are that often, especially in Space Battles, the controls aren't that intuitive, and when I thought I was making one choice, it was clear by the answer I got that I was not. The other is that sometimes the "correct" answer is a random one, seemingly making no sense in the context of the clues given. Perhaps this is a staple of choose your own adventure stories, but again I wouldn't know.

Overall, it was a fun, quick read and I'd buy the next book in the series whenever it comes out. (

Undead Girl Gang lived up to it's cover and blurb (which is what drew me in). It was a true to genre YA read, many YAs that I read tend to lean very close to New Adult. But this book stays within the YA age range perfectly. The characters were very stereotypical high school characters but did fulfill that theme fully. This was a slight disappointment as the stereotypical high school story is played out for me. Overall, it was a good story, and wrapped up well. It took me longer to read due to a few spots that were slow. (

The ending was weak but I had fun along the way (
