When the escapades of Audrey Labadie's cheating boyfriend take center stage during a show rehearsal, she up and leaves her beloved theater group to avoid the humiliation. Finding refuge in her high school's dance squad, she believes the drama is behind her. Until the earthquake.
Audrey's dreams become plagued with creepy tentacle creatures crawling out of a sinkhole underneath her school in the aftermath of the seemingly unnatural natural disaster. Dreams that soon become a horrific reality for her and her new teammates.
Faced with an ancient evil intent on taking over their small town, Audrey and her ragtag group of friends are the only ones dancing in their way. Every dance squad has its rivals, but she didn't expect them to have gills.
Yes, the book is as cheesy as the title, Elder God Dance Squad, sounds. But I actually had a really good time listening to it. Sometimes you just need a fun silly book that allows you to just sit back and enjoy. It has the typical teen drama of trying to figure out where one fits in, navigating changing friendships and finding out about yourself along the way. Throw in a demon who recruits teens to perform a dance ritual to release him from his eternal prison and you have a really fun time.
I like all of the characters. I really enjoyed that most of them came away having learned a lesson or at least changed in some way. There is a very cute romance that allows Aubrey to learn what a good relationship is like and how one should be treated. There are really cryptic and creepy characters. This book very much gave off Buffy the Vampire Slayer monster of the week vibes. I think this would be a fun addition to any YA horror collection. I highly recommend giving it a try.
