Apocalypse Cow is completely bonkers, in a good way. Despite wincing at the graphic nature of some moments (I'm a wimp) I loved it.

This book has to be the weirdest funniest book I have ever read in the best way.

Apocalypse Cow is based in 2031 when unexpectedly for lesbian Mel, friends Sasha and Nev the Apocalyse occurs. Mel however wasn't expecting to spend weeks hanging out with her least favourite people bully Ella and posh boy Dorian. Add in some talking crows, people eating pigs, flesh eating badgers and an assortment of other strange animals not forgetting the glow in dark healing mice you have the a great story of friendship, love, perseverance with plenty of humour.

The book is written with young adults in mind but if your looking to read an end of the world book so unique this has to be for you.

With the ending left on a kinda cliff hanger I really hope the author has another one planned as I will be first in line to read it.

A LGBTQ+ love story set during an apocalypse. Diverse set of characters, fast moving plot and the apocalypse itself was just the right level of ridiculous and inventive. Themes were more older teen than I'd expected, some parts of the plot moved too fast to allow you to really care for characters and the ending felt rushed but I will try this author again

Got out of my reading slump with this fun, queer little YA apocalypse story! Not at all my usual vibe but a really fun read.

A great selection of really fun, well fleshed out characters and such a delightful concept… for an apocalypse. I did have Something Bad from Wicked in my head for 90% of the time but I’m truly not complaining about that.

Would LOVE to be able to read Nigel’s whole book and find out exactly what each animal can do.

The ending did make me bolt upright so if we’re open to interpretation, I’m going to choose to believe that all is well. If this is leaving us open for a sequel… I’m surprisingly not mad about it.

Utterly unexpected YA comedy horror with lots of gore, snogging and killer mutant wildlife- loved every lurid moment of it! Strong LGBTQA+ rep and heartily sex-positive. Not for younger readers or the squeamish but gruesome fun for everyone else.

A funny apocalypse story? Yes, they really do exist! Mel's observations and phrases are hilarious and the way she deals with things is fantastic.

It's a really inventive apocalypse, not one I've seen anywhere before, and I was glued to the book as I read. I never guessed what was going to happen and it all seemed to unfold really naturally! You should be aware that there is some violence, mostly played for comedy, and that Mel does suffer some depression afterwards.

The ending seems to indicate that there'll be at least one more book in the series, and I can't wait. This is my new favourite series.

Oh to be fierce, feisty, and sixteen again! Life might not be easy, but having enough energy and commitment to try and make the most of it or perhaps even do the right thing.

I loved all the absurdities (plenty of petrol, not enough cars) and eyballs rolling in Apocalypse Cow. And appreciated the characters surprising me with their depth, not being the one-dimensional they seemed in the first place.

Hopefully, this book is the first in a series as I can easily imagine more adventures along the way :)

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for a copy of the book.
