Deadly Delivery

By: Sidney Williams, Michael August

Narrated by: Maxwell Glick

It's just another long, hot summer - until Derek Cliver and his friends join an exciting new mail-order club. The Terror Club allows Derek and his friends to create their own monsters. And it gives them the opportunity to "dispose" of those they despise most. But the game turns terrifyingly real when the monsters they create come to life - and actually murder their rivals.

Now, as the body count rises, Derek and his friends must somehow undo what they've done ... before they become the next victims!

Summary:
Derek Cliver and his new friends pass the summer hours by making monsters and creating a game world. Things get weird from there.

Additional Comments:
• The cover doesn’t really fit well. I didn’t read the back cover copy, and I would recommend skipping that too. It basically tells the entire story.
• Derek, Paige, Jeff, and Alex are decent enough characters, but it might have been better to make them 13 instead of 17 because a lot of their dialogue has an upper middle school feel to it. (Getting to know you. First date. I-just-want-friends.)
• Characters are types. Derek is the nice kid, main character. Paige is the love interest. Jeff is the clinger, and Alex is the manly buddy.
• The basic plot is fine and explained in full in the description.
• There are a lot of odd leaps of logic in the course of them scrambling to solve the mystery. Without going into specifics, it’s things like well, this happened so this must have been the reason. This is absolutely where X would go. This is what they’re thinking and feeling. A bit of that can be explained by the nature of how the creatures were made, but beyond that, it’s a solid stretch of suspension of disbelief.
• The monsters are well-described.
• The end twist is fine but the bad guy’s motives are thin.

Conclusion:
Entertaining but not Earth-shattering.

*I found a free code at a site where the author or the narrator left it in the hopes of receiving an honest review. I have chosen to review it. All thoughts are my own.

Great!

Imagine Jason with an IQ And common sense. Well that is just one of the monsters that are on wittingly created by these for friends who are just trying to find something to do for the summer. Although this book I believe it’s for younger adults or teen agers, But I found it very entertaining and yes a bit scary actually a lot scary. These scenarios would be horrible in real life. Love the people who get it or the ones you really want to get it And will!
