American Savage by Matt Whyman
4.0
Deliciously written. Matt Whyman did a great job with this sequel.
No Sasha in this book, just so you know. I missed her. In her place is Amanda Dias. Remember her from the first book? The radical vegan? The Savages have now become her surrogate family. She's still a vegan, but with a taste for human meat.
It has been a few years, and we find that the Savages and Ms. Dias have moved to Jupiter, Florida...which is funny because it is also where American Horror Story: Freak Show was set in. I guess Jupiter is the haven for interesting people.
What has the family been up to? Titus manages an apartment complex where he sources their main feast ingredient. Amanda successfully talks the family into setting up a vegan cafe, which is also a business front for a money laundering Russian "cannibal". Angelica has snared the affections of her young, passionate Argentinian personal trainer. Ivan is being bullied, but is cooking up a plateful of revenge against his oppressors. And Oleg has fallen in love with Priscilla, a terminally-ill resident at his elderly home. Sasha is away for university, and doesn't make an appearance at all.
Throughout this book you'll find yourself wondering who is going to end up being served for the family's feast. You won't see the twist coming until it's too late.
