The Dead Take the A Train by Cassandra Khaw, Richard Kadrey

5.0

Yes!!!! The gore! The humor! The main character coming from her pov in NYC and the way this involves that city's most elite! (I'm applauding) (Standing ovation)

Julie is about as real as they get, and I immediately loved her sarcastic, no nonsense, beautiful style when it came to handling some very... very... disgusting creatures.  She is barely making it by, spending too much money on drugs and liquor and not enough on keeping up with rent.  When she becomes invested in a bigger fight than usual.

This was empowering (in a weird way, I guess, but still), and I was diabolically giggling while simultaneously being horrified (what must my neighbors think??).  It's definitely a great read.

Out October 3, 2023! 

Thank you, Netgalley and Publisher, for this Arc!!
