TW: transphobia, domestic abuse, religious abuse, self-harm, suicidal attempt, deadnaming This has not impacted my review which is unbiased and honest.) (Disclaimer: I received this book from the publisher. Eager to belong, Benji accepts Nick’s terms…until he discovers the ALC’s mysterious leader has a hidden agenda, and more than a few secrets of his own. Still, Nick offers Benji shelter among his ragtag group of queer teens, as long as Benji can control the monster and use its power to defend the ALC. The ALC’s leader, Nick, is gorgeous, autistic, and a deadly shot, and he knows Benji’s darkest secret: the cult’s bioweapon is mutating him into a monster deadly enough to wipe humanity from the earth once and for all.
Desperately, he searches for a place where the cult can’t get their hands on him, or more importantly, on the bioweapon they infected him with.īut when cornered by monsters born from the destruction, Benji is rescued by a group of teens from the local Acheson LGBTQ+ Center, affectionately known as the ALC. Sixteen-year-old trans boy Benji is on the run from the cult that raised him-the fundamentalist sect that unleashed Armageddon and decimated the world’s population. Keep reading this book review for my full thoughts.
Featuring a trans MC, it balances his struggles with his past, while also featuring his fight for his future. Hell Followed With Us is a post-apocalyptic story which – despite the death and body horror – is grounded in love, community, and friendship.
