I don't know what I was expecting going into this book but it was not what I got. Every page shocked me. A bit wordy and heavy on metaphors. Unexpected queer rep.

Scooby Doo x Lovecraft was an interesting premise that I have not seen before. The first part of the book was a little slow and hard to get into but once all the action started I couldn't put the book down! A big complaint I have is the random format switching. Even in the middle of a conversation it will go from script style to tradtional novel and I found it to be very jarring. Overall I thought the book was ok and felt like he could have done more.

Interesting premise and mythology but terrible LGBTQIA+ rep and distracting writing style at times.
