This bookish meme tells the blogosphere what we’re waiting patiently (and sometimes not so patiently) for! It’s hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine!
A bone-chilling modern horror about a Haitian American girl who uses her previously hidden zombie abilities to enact revenge on the wealthy elites who’ve caused her family pain.
Brielle Petitfour loves to cook. But with a chronically sick mother and bills to pay, becoming a chef isn’t exactly a realistic career path.
When Brielle’s mom suddenly loses her job, Brielle steps in and uses her culinary skills to earn some extra money. The rich families who love her cooking praise her use of unique flavors and textures, which keep everyone guessing what’s in Brielle’s dishes. The secret ingredient? Human flesh.
Written by the storytelling duo Maika Moulite and Maritza Moulite, The Summer I Ate the Rich is a biting, smart new horror inspired by Haitian zombie lore that scrutinizes the socioeconomic and racial inequity that is the foundation of our modern times. Just like Brielle’s clients it will have you asking: What’s for dinner?

Why I’m Waiting: First of all, the title is The Summer I Ate the Rich and if you know me, you know I try my best to not help them get any richer lol And then the authors are two that I have read and loved before. And lastly, THIS IS A HORROR NOVEL. WITH ZOMBIES. There is NO WAY I’m not reading this. Have you met me? Like seriously lol And then there’s the cover, which is gorgeous! All of these are green flags for Nikki and I can’t wait to get my hands on this one!
What about you? Will you be waiting on this one? Have you read anything by them before? Let me know in the comments!
Oh this sounds delightful! Lol. I don’t think I stopped to look at this one before when I saw it in passing since the title is hard to make out on a glance. Lol. My mistake! Adding this to my list now!
