Bad Hair Day


Bad Hair Day is a YA comedic horror novel, and a follow-up to Bad Taste in Boys, by Carrie Harris.

Reading Bad Taste in Boys first is not a prerequisite here, yet I’d still recommend it. You can check out my review here.

Future Doctor of America Kate Grable is thrilled to geek-pieces to be shadowing the county medical examiner as part of her school’s premed program.

But of course nothing can go smoothly in Kate’s life, right?

Nope. Curing a zombie virus wasn’t enough, apparently.

When the county medical examiner she’s following gets arrested for a gruesome murder where the victim was literally torn apart, well, she just has to investigate.

As more bodies start to pile up, Kate finds she’s searching for a murderer that is big, hairy and possibly has claws.

That’s right. She’s chasing a werewolf.

Her logical brain, however, refuses to believe that. Zombies are one thing, but werewolves?

Evidence continues to build though, as Kate also deals with flying encyclopedia’s, a costume-wearing brother, an irritated best friend, and a boyfriend who she fears she may have ignored (accidentally) a little too long.

She couldn’t just have a quiet day of regular ol’ autopsies, could she?

Bad Taste in Boys was a hilarious, fresh take on zombies with a nerdy, intelligent, awesome heroine in doctor-in-training Kate Grable. I’m elated we get to follow her again as she lands another weird medical mystery!

Mixing absurd humor, including boundless witty dialogue, with a new take on werewolves, Carrie Harris is again treating us to some good old fashioned FUN in Bad Hair Day.

Secondary characters bursting with personality, a sometimes gory plot in the most light-hearted way, and a first-person voice to salivate over, I’m in book-love with Kate Grable and hope for many, many more books featuring this character!!!

It’s a fast, entertaining read meant to be enjoyed with a smile on your face. Mission accomplished!

*Note to my lovely Bibliophile Support Group fans, I'm starting a new job today! It's an exciting, great opportunity for my family and I but it could also mean changes to the blog's schedule IF my reading time is cut shorter because of it. I ask you all to understand this and take it into consideration if my posts get scaled back. But for now, everything is full steam ahead! Thanks for reading!!!

Evangeline of the Bayou

Evangeline of the Bayou is an urban fantasy middle grade novel written by Jan Eldredge and illustrated by Joseph Kueffler. You may have noticed that just last week I posted a Q&A with the author! There is no doubt that twelve-year-old Evangeline will become an amazing haunt huntress – not with a lineage like hers. Not only was her mother a force to be reckoned with, but Evangeline lives with her grandmother – a daily opportunity to hone her skills. And she’ll definitely get her animal familiar soon. Definitely. It will be better than some unruly cat named Fader. Dang cat. Perhaps her time will be now – now that she and her grandmother have been called to New Orleans to investigate a strange case bursting with secrets to be unearthed. Yeah. She’ll definitely be returning to her bayou a true haunt huntress… This is a fun one. There was one particular line that was so delightful that I made a special note to call out in my review: “…its spiri...
