Genre-bending sci-fi mythological humorous apocalyptical romance.

Holy Crap! The World is Ending! has something for everyone. A woman meets her soulmate in a Barnes & Noble just as an asteroid is about to collide with Earth. There is something otherworldly about his looks but little does our heroine know. He is actually an alien sent to Earth to determine whether humankind can stop battling each other long enough to be moved to another planet.

Okay, the plot I just described seems lame but the book is actually fascinating and humorous. The author throws in hundreds of pop culture references (i.e., Harry Potter, Duck Dodgers, the illuminati, Bigfoot). There are many similarities between the alien names and Sumerian mythology. To say any more would be a spoiler. The romance is heartfelt and believable. The interactions between the heroine's friends are hilarious. Which would you say is more likely to float-a raft made of Twinkies or Ding Dongs? I have to side with the Ding Dongs personally.

Even though this book is hard to categorize to recommend it for a particular type of reader, that is also its charm. I would highly recommend it to anyone bored of formulaic stories. It would also be a good choice for fans of The Simpsons for its humor and free use of decades of pop culture references. It has some R-rated sex scenes so it wouldn't be appropriate for readers under 16.

Thanks to the publisher, Alien Abduction Press, and netgalley for an advance review copy in exchange for an honest review. This book will be published on September 21, 2017.

If you want a fun, page-turning, what-will-happen-next kind of novel with excellent patter between characters, you'll enjoy this novel. If you don't like that kind of stuff, you probably shouldn't read it.

Absolutely loved this book!! It was the perfect blend of snark and hilarity. Was such a fun read and I can't wait till there's another!

You are probably gonna see the biggest list of pro's you have ever seen. I think I can even come up with more than I'm going to give you right now. This book has it all. Science Fiction, Romance, Humour and a great set of characters. I think this is maybe my favorite book that I've read this summer!
Trigger warning: There is an almost rape scene in this book.

Pros
Chapter titles: I LOVE the chapter titles. It tells you what you can expect this next chapter, but these chapter titles are so weird, that you can't even believe you're going to read it. I was skipping back and forth to see if I actually did read the things that were in the chapter titles, and I did every time...
Laughing/Crying: I have been laughing out loud while reading this book. I hate the experience, don't get me wrong. Me laughing like a maniac towards my Kindle and the people around me grabbing their phone to get me admitted to the psychic ward. They think I'm a crazy person! But I love it so much. There is a lot of humour in this book, but I have been crying as well.
Harry Potter references: HELL YEAH! The Harry Potter references are so dayum accurate. I love it. Anything Harry Potter-ish is great, but the characters in these books have so much Harry Potter love, just like me. Yay!
Rich history: The book starts of like something light, with the humor and all, but there is actually a lot of rich history when the story gets going. I was surprised by this. The title of this book made me think that it was mainly comedy, humour stuff and didn't really involve a big plot/rich story, but it did and I was surprised by it! It's one of the main reasons I give this book 5 stars.
FOOOODDDDD: Okay, food lover over here. I love how the main character is thinking about food a lot and talking about food a lot and she also thinks food is pretty important... High five! I totally agree and I love the fact that she is a food lover as well, because main characters often have a special meal or treat they like, but this girl is just a binge-eater!
This ending: 2 words: Holy Crap!

Cons
Illustrations: I don't like the little inbetween illustrations in this book. It feels like the author is trying hard to be funny this way and I believe the story doesn't need these illustrations. I have nothing with cows either, so maybe I would've liked it if it were kittens? I just didn't really get it, but loved the book nonetheless!

Overall
HOLY CRAP. Give me book number 2. I'm so ready for it! I loved the book. Here you have a girl that is sarcastic, loves food, goes to Barnes and Nobles.. This is about me! Except my world isn't ending, luckily. This book starts with a lot of humour, but quickly gets a very rich storyline with great characters and seriously... This ending? If you like to be blown away, you should read this!

I don't understand how a author can write about something so scary (the apocalypse) and have it come out funny and interesting. I love the Zecharia Sitchin references, reading about the anunnaki and our creator was so compelling.The book kept me reading and captivated from page 1 thru to the end. Highly recommend this!!!

Handsome Greek Gods, binge eating, Humor, and more... What is there not to enjoy about this book?! Okay, the title alone tells us that the world is ending and yeah, that is a very good possibility. Unless our heroine Autumn, her Greek God lover Rigel, her BFF Emma, and the hair guy can save us! There are more characters, but we will focus on those who are actively trying to save the world. I am not even going to go into details about Wal-Mart. I do not want to spoil that fun for you! There are a lot of laughs in this book. Many of them are sarcastic, which is probably why I totally appreciated them! The author tells us at the end of the book about her research into many of the situations and characters in the story. That reading was interesting also, but not required for enjoying this book! The ending was a bit abrupt and I guess I would have preferred it ending a bit differently. I would have liked it different and I would have liked more about what happens next. But the story was funny, and if you like hot steamy romance, there is a bit of that also. Not too much, but yeah it is there. Edit: After I posted my review, I received an email from the author letting me know that this is book one of a trilogy. WOOHOO!! Totally changes the end of the world for me and for Autumn and her friends also.
4.5 rounded to 5 for this funny, sarcastic, and sexy look at the apocalypse.

Thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was funny and with characters I've never imagined. I'm good that there is a second book.
