Were you the kid who purposefully put glue on your hands, let it get tacky and then peeled it off to see your skin texture?

Or maybe you collected scratch-and-sniff Garbage Pail Kid cards?

Do you rewatch Supernatural or The Walking Dead start to finish every year?

If so, you're probably gonna like this book.

A coven of witches - Frankie, Ben, and Cleo - are first threatened when a rogue vampire witch kills Frankie's grandmother. Frankie is only just discovering her powers and relies on her found family for knowledge and support. Her heart and resolve are put to the test by what it'll take to strengthen her power and survive an evil they could not forsee.

Peachy is a visceral reading experience. Its saturated and rich and graphic from the very start. You'll feel the horror and gore elements squelch. You'll warm your face against the beaming Utah sun. Theres so much amazing texture that brings this story to life.

I love Frankie. Seriously. Yes, a killer vampire witch stalks her, but does she have beer left in the fridge? Her best friend might be giving her the heart flutters, but wait! Shit! Theres no clean shirts. Only slightly less dirty shirts. The way we get all sides of her is amazing. I sorta want to be her mom-friend.

The magic & lore created for Peachy is clever if a bit convoluted. Theres a bit of trust I had to give here that I'm gonna learn all the rules just as Frankie does. So as a start of a series, its hooked me and leaves me with enough mystery to anticipate the sequels.

The author has delivered a fantastic, supernatural thriller that is absolutely captivating and intense. A wildly addictive page turner with graphic scenes of violence which draw the reader into a world of fantasy. You follow the protagonist along her journey and can’t help but become invested in her story.
A brilliantly written narrative wrapped in horror and suspense.
I absolutely loved this.
I received an advanced copy of this and have given an honest review.

With gorgeous prose, chilling descriptions, and a compelling plot, Peachy is a book that will keep you turning pages! I wasn't sure what to expect when I started this one, but from the very first page, Kohler immerses you into her world and has you rooting for her characters. I loved the found family trope, the unique spin on witches, and the premise of a down-on-her-luck 20-something being the heroine. A super fun urban fantasy with a side of horror and a dash of romance, I think anyone who grew up enjoying Twilight will adore this adult take on witches, demons, and vampires.

This was not for me. The writing was messy and confusing at best. Too many characters introduced too quickly and with little information. The story just didn’t work. Frankie was very annoying as a character.

I enjoyed this, what a fantastic debut!

I found the plot really compelling and absolutely loved the twist on supernatural creatures, everything coming from witches. The atmosphere gave me major True Blood vibes mixed with Shameless characters. The plot was fast paced, which I appreciate and the writing is wonderful, easy to follow, and immersive.

I just didn’t like any of the characters, not a single one! I found Ben abhorrent, Frankie too simple, and the others just a bit bland. However, chuck in a little romance subplot and I’m all yours again, even if I hated one of them!

I knew from the moment Camri pitched this book as “Twilight for dirtbags” that I was going to love it, and I was NOT disappointed. Adventure, self discovery, and snarky banter equals all of the best things! From the supernaturals to the iced coffee, Peachy is fun read that will keep you turning the pages to see what happens next.

This is an exciting, interesting and horrifying debut novel! My rating is a 3.5/5 - but I did enjoy it a lot.
I really appreciated the content/trigger warnings at the beginning of this book as well as a playlist made by the author!
Frankie is a great main character - she’s funny and I loved seeing her grow as the story progressed. I think all the characters in this book were good and well developed. Personally I wasn’t a fan of the romances though.
The writing was descriptive and although the beginning was a little slow, once it picked up it was a lot of fun! There were definitely some gross, horrible moments but I wanted to feel more scared.
Overall, it’s a great debut and beginning of a series book. I would have loved more explanations of the magic and overall more horror.
