Trog – Zachary Ashford

4 stars

Wow, poor Aisha! She really got the short end of the stick here. Her parents move her out to the sticks to try and help her recover from an invasion that she suffered, but unfortunately, they picked the single worst place they could have. A group of thrill invaders are going around small towns terrorizing families and leaving a trail of bodies. On top of that, there’s something howling in the caves under the house that wants out…..

I love that whenever I read an Ashford book, I always learn more about Australian folklore and creatures. Having never been there myself, I really enjoy getting to know these stories through the eyes of gory horror! It adds another layer of enjoyment to the read for me and usually sends me down a rabbit hole trying to discover more about these creatures.

Trog was a very quick, very brutal read! I was really pulling for Aisha and her family throughout the book and somewhat impatiently waiting for certain people to get taken out. Aisha had so much good character growth over the book, and I was so happy to see a strong female fighting and doing whatever she had to do to get herself out of a really bad situation!
