A book review by Brandi Guarino

After seventy-three years of lying dormant under Lemonsville, an old terror has awakened, and it is STARVING.

One by one the town’s citizens, both young and old, animal and human, are attacked and used to revive a horde of alien insects bent on world domination.
A group of dedicated police officers set out to contain and destroy the threat to Lemonsville’s citizenry and solve why they are being brutally slaughtered or disappearing without a trace. Even if it means they die trying.

Right from the first page, I knew this was going to be a fun, gory trip of a book. It grabs you by the wrist and pulls you along to fight these bloodthirsty bugs. No one is safe in Lemonsville—young children, elderly persons, animals; everyone and everything is on the menu for the Bugs. So let this be your trigger/content warning.
The story had great pacing and flow; my attention never once wavered. There was great chemistry between the cops themselves, as well as with most of the townsfolk. You feel the dread and fear of the victims, and the anger of the townsfolk who want answers as to what and who is causing scene after scene of carnage. If you weren’t afraid of bugs before this, you will be now.
Even though the story is bloody and brutal, there are moments of hilarity and some tongue-in-cheek jokes. I loved the camaraderie between the officers of the force and their chief.
All in all, I really enjoyed Bedbugs, and I’m never going to bed without checking under my bedsheets again.

4/5 Stars

Thank you to author Lee Andrew Taylor for providing me with a review copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

BEDBUGS (Can you see them?): An alien, man-eating insect story
by Lee Taylor

‘NIGHT, NIGHT, SLEEP TIGHT AND DON’T LET THE BEDBUGS BITE’

In 1947, around the same time as the Roswell alien landing, another UFO crashed to earth, falling deep within the soil of Lemonsville County, UK.

And during the night five people were slaughtered.

But nothing happened for the next 73 years.

In 2020, an earth tremor shook Lemonsville to leave an opening for the new killers of the night to attack.

Now, the local police chief and his small group of officers must find a way to solve the mystery of why people are being killed or have gone missing?

It takes him on a journey to the past, where his grandfather was a witness to the original murders, but, as the chief tries to uncover what happened all those years ago, more and more people are being killed.

Will he work out the link and save the people of Lemonsville, or will he too fall to be destroyed by the things that want to take over the WORLD?

The BEDBUGS are coming!!!
