Futility by Nuzo Onoh

By Emma Fitzgerald -
Thank you @zooloosBT For letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. Futility is a horror genre. I greatly enjoy the front cover; it looks gruesome and scary. The title works well too. The story is about two women who have been betrayed and seek vengeance. The story is very different from what I normally read, and it is great for these winter months. I found Futility an interesting and engaging read, and the characters Clare and Chia were very intriguing and a bit weird, but I did like them. The story was written clearly and did make me giggle in place. I did like the body swapping and murder; it worked brilliantly. It did entertain me to the end. 4 stars. blurb Crackling with wit, this is a monstrous, gleeful, bitingly funny tale of murder, body-swapping and bloody vengeance from the recipient of the Bram Stoker Award ® for Lifetime Achievement and 'Queen of African Horror'. Betrayed by the men in their lives, two women seethe with rage and bitterness. When a trickster spirit offers them the gift of revenge, they cannot resist. Chia runs one of the best restaurants in Abuja, Nigeria, and is renowned among the male clientele for her captivating beauty and delicious hot pepper soup. But her hot pepper soup has a secret ingredient, and her beauty is not what it seems. Claire is a 50 year-old British woman living in Abuja with her young Nigerian boyfriend and his beautiful cousin, Shadé. Consumed by jealousy and resentment, Claire's carefully organised life spirals into chaos after a night out at Chia's infamous restaurant.

I really enjoyed reading this book and felt like ot held my attention to the end. I really like the characters my favourite where Max, Beanie and Erin. I love the plot with the evil Doctor Asheood and the wind turbines. It was lovely to see Max develop and start to accept his disabiliny and for Max to have the strengh to tell his dad how he felt about him not communicate with him. My heart did go out to dad ehen i found out why. It did make me sad in places but its great read and gripped me. I slso liked hid uncle and twister. I feel young adults will love this story its diffent and its grest suspence.
