About this listen
Chain-smoking bisexual, Mantis, finds herself in the midst of a demon apocalypse. With the book of Revelations unfurling before her very eyes, she recruits a reformed prostitute, a bubbly stripper, and a hopelessly-smitten DJ to try to stop the biblical event in its tracks. Can Mantis and her uproarious crew of misfit degenerates save the world before it's destroyed?
Locked-and-loaded with sinister creatures, twisted villains, violent action, and a horny heroine with the charm of a rabid wolverine, Mantis will take you on a hilarious, blood-soaked road-trip through the bowels of America's Deep South and drop you on the doorstep of the Devil.
From the demented author of Vanity Kills, Bad God's Tower, and DERAILED comes a profane, blood-soaked, laugh-out-loud novel full of guts, gore, and good times. A religious, comedic-horror blend of Dogma and Tales From the Crypt's Bordello of Blood.

But his only lead is Alena Francon, a high society sculptor and socialite committed to Bellevue’s psychiatric facility. Alena has a story for the new detective.

A break from your typical horror - fun & gore!
This book went somewhere I definitely did not expect it to. I wasn’t mad about it, either.
I definitely ended up enjoying it. I did listen to the audiobook version, and I can’t say I’m always a fan of the narrator, but her range of voice was perfect for all the different characters. There were a few times at chapter changes I had to go back and I didn’t miss anything.. but, again, audiobook 🤷♀️
This book has raunch, fun, accidental drug usage, tons of profanity, demon unaliving, people unaliving and more. It made my commute to and from work so much better.
The book has an unreliable narrator and keeps you on your toes. You know the what, but not the why or how this is going to go down. I am not usually a whoozey, trigger person, but there was ONE part that made me cringe JUST a little bit 👌 pequeño, but Summers helped with immediate revenge (thank you for that).
If you need a break from the heavy, emotional, mind-f*ckery… you can still get that in Mantis, but get some laughs with it, too.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Wild ride!
This is such a fun and wild book! It’s got humor, horror, demons & sex! It’s a very enjoyable read and a really fast paced book.
(“The corset made from human skin” was one of my favorite lines!)
There are lots of powerful female characters, which is always awesome to see! The main Character Mantis, is definitely an exciting and wild person! The goal of the story is to find Betty’s son and deal with all of the craziness that leads up to that and afterwards as well. The ending was my favorite part of the story! So much going on that I wasn’t able to stop listening!
I feel like this is a great summer read! This author is definitely one to follow!
The narrator did a great job with the audio book!

fun amd great book
This was a fun book! Such a crazy and wild ride with of the most badass characters. Great female leads and What a fun book! It's such a crazy and wild ride with some of the most insane and badass characters. Once again, we get some very strong female leads and queer representation.
For me it was a bit hard to get into the book due to the sex scene right up front but the more I listened to it, I was able to get into it abit more. A great blend of Genres and I love that in a book. It makes them interesting! The Horror and the Humor was great. The audiobook narration was one of the best I have heard in a while for this type book!

Sarcastic Supernatural
When the phrase "Hell has no fury like a woman scorned" is spoken, they must be talking about the snarky, mean as a pit viper MC Mantis. She will make you laugh, but if you aren't careful, she will also take your head clean off before you can blink. I loved the humor, gore, sarcastic wit, and action-packed storyline that also gave me B-movie vibes. The storyline and comradery of the characters are unique and entertaining. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves comedic horror. I received this book for free upon my request. I am voluntarily leaving my honest and unbiased review here of my own volition.

worth the listen
I definitely enjoyed the characters and the storyline. It's funny. It's sarcastic. It's gory. It's action-packed. I most definitely recommend for anyone looking for something different.

Okay
This book has a lot of good reviews and I do enjoy apocalypse-themed stories, but I just couldn't get into this one. Mantis is a strong heroine, which I can always appreciate, though I didn't really like her or her attitude. We do have quirky supporting characters. And demons to slay. I listened to this audiobook for about an hour and forty-five minutes before stopping. I'm not saying it's bad, but just isn't for me at this time. I might consider going back to it in the future. Tina Smith's voice definitely suited Mantis' personality.

like an extra horny cross between Jessica Jones and Dogma
cool characters, cool world, cool story. it's funny when it means to be. I do wish it would let some of the serious parts be serious. Definitely worth a listen

dark and fun
Mantis by Erica Summers is a wild audiobook ride through a darkly comedic apocalypse. Following the tough, no-nonsense Mantis and her ragtag crew of unconventional heroes, the story combines horror and humor in equal measure. With unforgettable characters—a reformed prostitute, a vivacious stripper, and a DJ madly in love—this audiobook keeps you laughing and gripping your seat as they battle sinister creatures and twisted villains across the Deep South. Summers crafts a gritty, hilarious journey packed with gore, grit, and razor-sharp wit. Perfect for fans of irreverent, apocalyptic road trips, this is an unforgettable listen that’s both outrageous and oddly heartwarming.

Gut Busting....in every definition
I didn't know what this was about entirely before I started but man was it good. So much comic relief in an apocalyptic world. I liked Mantis and Dylan the best. Another Greta one by Erica Summers!
