I knew I was going to like this book from the first sentence. Who could resist something that says "It all started with the She Shed"?!

This book was really fun! I laughed for a lot of it. My favorite "horror" moment dealt with a possessed Roomba XD

This book combined horror and creepy vibes with funny suburban mom girlfriends and it's truly a perfect mix!

The last bit of the book I actually was let down a little. It's like the humor just totally left the building for the big climax, and I was pretty bummed about that. I wanted it to be like the rest of the book.

Overall, highly recommend for the Spooky Season!
4 stars!

Thank you to Netgalley and (insert publisher) for giving my an ARC of this book. Ok so this book came out a minute ago, but I just got to it lol.

Ya'll I really enjoyed this book. I wasn't sure how I would acutally like, because of the demonic possession element of it, but it was an enjoyable read.

This book reminded me of the Scary Movie franchise that were everything in the 00's. Kind of like if they made a parody movie out movies with suburban housewives and added an Exorcist element to it. Now depending on your sense of humor, you may not find it as funny as I did, but I love dry humor so this one was right up my alley. I enjoyed seeing the friendship that Amy has with her friends and the lengths that she went through to save her circle. The first 2/3's of the book was fun to read, the last third of the book was when the book got fully into its scary bag. I liked how this was done, but I am super scary lol. Overall this was a nice fun read. It takes place during the summer, but it gives fall vibes. It would be the perfect spooky time read, if you aren't into horror

My rating 3.75/5

Suburban Hell by Maureen Kilmer is a wickedly fun and spooky read! This horror-comedy blends supernatural thrills with the relatable chaos of suburban life. The story follows a tight-knit group of suburban moms whose lives take a dark and creepy turn when one of their home renovation projects accidentally opens the door to something sinister. Kilmer expertly balances humor and horror, making you laugh one moment and shiver the next. The friendships between the characters are heartwarming, and the supernatural mystery is engaging and full of twists. If you enjoy horror with a dash of humor and a suburban setting, Suburban Hell is a must-read!

"Suburban Hell" is an intriguing combination of horror, thrills, creepy vibes, humor, and great characters. Thriller readers might love this for a summer read, and contemporary or chick-lit readers might choose this as an October read. This is a fun book recommendation for many different readers and a sure-to-be-checked-out selection for public libraries.

An engaging read that I thoroughly enjoyed! Original premise and excellent development. Highly recommend and will purchase several physical and digital copies for library collections. Thank you!!

This one got lost in the shuffle under my severe case of mood reader. It wasn’t what I thought it was going to be, but I did enjoy it!

This is a cozy read. I really liked the characters. I just expected more….a lot more. Not enough happens.

Let me just say this book was so much fun. While it had demonic possession themes the creep factor was low for me but that is subjective to the reader. The story was top notch. It did remind me of Grady Hendrix who I love as well. Kilmer's writing style flows so smoothly.
This book follows a group of 4 friends in the suburbs. Their lives revolve around caring for their children or their jobs. One friend becomes "possessed" while doing a home upgrade.
Things just get crazy from there and you have to experience it for yourselves.
I related to this book so much. I am telling my book club that they need to read this right away.

Housewives meets horror in this tale of evil delight. The she shed turns sinister (on accident of course). What more could you ask for than those two sentences??

Very entertaining!

This book was witty, thrilling, and chilling all in one. The main characters were all great and you could easily relate to all of them.

I really enjoyed the spooky side to this. This would have been a 5 star read if there had been more interactions with the group and Liz. It felt like there was more planning going on than interactions with the group.

All in all it was super entertaining and kept you wanting to pick back up and read!

This was such a funny and slightly creepy story of suburban housewives meets demon possession! It had a lot of great pop culture references throughout the book, and a wild cast of moms. It was just enough housewife drama, with a creepy vengeful evil spirit/demon, to keep me on the edge of my seat. I would recommend this to fans of books by Grady Hendrix, and Rachel Harrison as the humor to spooky ratio is similar to their books. I look forward to more by this author!

I absolutely loved this book! It was a twisted housewife meets dark humor with a splash of horror! I loved all the characters and absolutely loved the way they all had such a different personality! Thier friendship was relatable and fun to follow. A great mix of creepy and spooky. I will definitely recommend this one.

This one kind of felt like The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires by Grady Hendrix. It has a quirky feel to it while also giving horror. This is about a group of women who live in this cul de sac and one of the friends decide to renovate a shed in her backyard where all the women can hang out in. Once she starts, that one friend starts to change. The other three know they have to do something to fix it or it’ll become a suburban hell.

Okay so it’s decently written it’s a large house so the editing errors etc not really existent. But neither is the comedy, horror, thriller, or any other aspect about this book.

It was actually grueling for me to get to 67% before I said no I am done. I didn’t like any of the characters. I never connected with them. The main one feels like a lazy stay at home mom who really doesn’t pay attention to her kids and just seems okay with being a mom who isn’t great.

I was at 67% before I gave up because I am not forcing myself to finish anything. This didn’t live up to any of the expectations. But 2 stars for editing.

Mommy drama but make it demon possession! Even though this is campy and a little ridiculous in the very best way, its message of friendship and the importance of being there for one another has no genre. The neighborhood mom characters were people anyone who has navigated school PTA can recognize in their own life, which was so fun. I'm not typically a horror reader, but this less intense creep factor was just right for me. The length seemed just right as well. It was a fun read! Thanks to NetGalley and G.P. Putnam's Sons for the advanced reader copy.

Super cool novel. Very seek and fun - definitely a great read - I couldn’t put it down. Definitely pick it up and enjoy - you won’t regret it

Nestled in a tranquil Chicago suburb, a serene neighbourhood provides the ideal backdrop for the creation of a backyard She Shed, a haven for neighbours Amy, Liz, Jess, and Melissa to escape the daily demands of their spouses and children. However, as they embark on their project in Liz’s backyard, an eerie and unsettling presence seems to have infiltrated the idyllic suburbia, with Liz bearing the brunt of its sinister influence.

This book leans towards the lighter side of horror, offering a compelling blend of chills and chuckles. I relished the engaging banter and interactions among the characters, even finding myself bursting into laughter on multiple occasions throughout the story.

3.5 rounded upto 4 stars.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for sending a digital ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This was a fine, campy read. I liked certain elements of it, but overall, it didn't grip me the way I had hoped with its humor. Although I like my horror a bit more extreme, I enjoy campy horrors just as much, but this one didn't hold my attention, either because of the setting or the characters, I'm not 100% sure.

I'll definitely keep an eye on this author to check out her work in the future, but this was ultimately a fun but forgettable book for me.

Unbelievably camp. This is for people that like to have fun! Gossip and cheeky jokes and suburban moms and possession and wine. I do wish we had the opportunity to get to know all the suburban moms on a more personal level but that didn’t take away from my reading experience. This book doesn’t take itself too seriously and you shouldn’t either. Have a good time with it and enjoy how perfectly ridiculous this is!

This book was cute and quirky and will be an easy hand sell for me. I liked the characters and the plot. I think fans of Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires would like this one. I loved that it was like Big Little Lies with demons!
