Not me positively LOSING MY SHIT upon realizing we're being blessed with another paranormal YA story from the incredible author who gave us Undead Girl Gang 🆘🆘🆘(also this cover is the most precious)

Want to see more bookish things from me? Check out my Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfer...*I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for my honest review*Prudence Perry is a Ladybird Scout, taking after her mother. The Ladybirds are a secret society who fight mulligrubs, intergalactic parasites who are created from and feed off human emotions. If fed enough, they turn carnivorous and feed off the humans themselves. After an attack that ends in the death o...

Thanks to Netgalley and Macmillan audio for the ARC of this! This was super fun, and I loved the messages that the book is sending about friendship, what it means to be a girl, and kicking monster butt. This was perfect for fans of the author’s other book Undead Girl Gang, or of Babysitter’s Coven and Buffy the Vampire Slayer (especially if you loved the Scoobies). I was not expecting the ending at all, but I think it was perfect. Do not listen to whoever is shelving this as a graphic novel, it

This is set in a world with interdimensional parasites that feast on human emotions. There are only a few people (young girls mostly) with the sight who can vanquish them under the guise of "Ladybirds scouts" who pretend to be Girlscouts, essentially. Prudence, our MC, experienced a deeply traumatic event where she and her best friend were attacked by one of these parasites while training, which ended in her best friend dying. And this is where we start the book; a year or so out from the trauma...

Thank you to NetGalley and Macmillan for providing me with an ARC in exchange for my honest feedback. Scout’s Honor is a delightfully campy story about belonging, legacy, and addressing trauma. Former Ladybird Scout Prudence Perry finds herself pulled back into her double life as a Ladybird after getting grounded. But Prie left the Ladybird’s for a good reason…they aren’t just your average scout troop. The Ladybirds are part society darlings, part inter dimensional grub hunters. And at the ripe

I really wish they had books like this when I was growing up. It is a fun fantasy YA about a group of girls who are basically slayers. There are these grubs that are basically energy suckers and this group of girls drinks a special tea that gives them the gift of sight for these grubs and they find them and kill them. The story and the world-building were very enjoyable, I enjoyed being swept away into this world. But we all know Fat Girls in Fiction so I have to touch on the fat representation,...

I really loved this book and couldn’t put it down once I started reading it. 16 yr old Prudence Perry is a third generation Ladybird Scout who mission is to protect humans from mulligrubs which are interdimensional parasites that manifest and feed on human emotions like sadness and anger and the society masquerades as a prim and proper ladies organization all white gloves and tea drinking. Prudence quit the ladybirds 3 years ago when her best friend was killed during a hunt if front of her and t...

Thank you to Netgalley and Macmillan Audio for an ALC of this book.Prudence is a legacy Ladybird Scout, but it's not all just teaparties and pink uniforms. The Ladybirds are actually a secret society hunting interdimensional parasites that feed on human emotion-and sometimes just humans. After witnessing the death of her best friend, Prudence left the Ladybirds, but she is forced to train new recruits by her mother, and discovers secrets about her old group that she will have to expose.This was

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an egalley. This is the exact type of camp and horror that I love. If the concept doesn't appeal to you, then you probably won't enjoy it, but if the idea of a secret monster slaying Girl Scout sound even a little bit like fun, you're gonna love this. Prudence quit being a Ladybird Scout years ago when she lost a friend in the field and now wants to leave Scouting forever by using the Tea of Forgetting to purge her memories, but she must be a Dame to buy...

adding a 5 star review pre-release because someone apparently gave this a negative one before this is even out. gotta counterbalance.

This is a really fun concept that was perhaps a tiny bit clunky in execution but honestly if the premise sounds cool to you I would recommend checking out the book (when it's out).

3.75 Stars. This was a fun and pretty entertaining read. When I saw this book, and read the blurb, I knew there was no way I could pass it up. I was a Girl Scout as a kid, and not a very good scout since I never made it out of Brownies, and I spent half the time being jealous of the Boy Scouts since there got to learn to make fire and get cool pocket knives to play with. So it wasn’t actually the scout thing drawing me in, but when you put “perfect for fans of Buffy the Vampire Slayer”, in your

I heard diverse YA paranormal and came running here. I can't wait for this!!

4.2*Review to come*

An overall fun and original story! I think the idea that powerful emotions summon certain types of interdimensional monsters to be very interesting and this storyline has a lot of promise if Anderson decides to continue on with this series. I'm interested to see where the characters will go in their lives, especially Prudence. Prudence is the only character to go through any development which is kind of disappointing since other characters had a lot of promise.Prudence is said to have been diagn...

Overall, another paranormal smash hit from Lily Anderson. Spoiler-free Review: https://amberinoface.wordpress.com/20... I received an ecopy of this book through Netgalley; however, my opinions are my own.

4 StarsNote: I was provided with an ARC by the publisher through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. All opinions here are my own.Was this book perfectly executed? No. Was it campy and fun? Yes, absolutely. It's not a serious book, but it's a fun book. And it touches on a lot that similar books don't address--like the PTSD and/or other trauma and anxiety disorders that would result from, you know, fighting monsters as a young child. Monster-fighting kids are all in good fun, but these ki...

3.5 stars.(CW: Death/gore, a super fuck-ton of braces-slurping, PTSD/anxiety symptoms/mentions).(I received this title from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This exchange does not impact the nature of my review overall).This is one of my favorite depictions of the pains of puberty and societal expectations on teenage girls all with a supernatural overtone. As someone who was a Girl Guide, and later a Pathfinder (division for 12-15yos), so many of the themes and quotes from the Ladybir...

This is a fantastic read with an ending that left me extremely satisfied and bumped my rating up a star. The characters are amazing-incredibly well drawn, and imperfectly teenagery in a super realistic way. With mystery, romance, and monster slaying gore, it's a great choice for summer, and I'll definitely be booktalking it to our teens. Could possibly pair it with Squad by Maggie Tokuda-Hall for a graphic novel/regular novel book club read. I'd recommend this to readers who like stuff like Buff...
