A Vulture Best Sci-Fi and Fantasy Book of 2018

In a land similar to South Africa, twin brothers are beset by powerful forces beyond their understanding or control in this thrilling blend of science fiction, horror, magic, and dark humor--evocative of the works of Lauren Beukes, Ian McDonald, and Nnedi Okorafor--from the author of The Prey of Gods.

Two brothers.
Seven vices.
One demonic possession.
Can this relationship survive?

Auben Mutze has more vices than he can deal with--six to be exact--each branded down his arm for all the world to see. They mark him as a lesser twin in society, as inferior, but there's no way he'll let that define him. Intelligent and outgoing, Auben's spirited antics make him popular among the other students at his underprivileged high school. So what if he's envious of his twin Kasim, whose single vice brand is a ticket to a better life, one that likely won't involve Auben.

The twins' strained relationship threatens to snap when Auben starts hearing voices that speak to his dangerous side--encouraging him to perform evil deeds that go beyond innocent mischief. Lechery, deceit, and vanity run rampant. And then there are the inexplicable blood cravings. . . .

On the southern tip of an African continent that could have been, demons get up to no good during the time of year when temperatures dip and temptations rise. Auben needs to rid himself of these maddening voices before they cause him to lose track of time. To lose his mind. And to lose his . . .

Delicious!
Flavor Name: Original, Lemon Garlic, Hot & Spicy, Size: 4 Ounce (Pack of 3)
Absolutely frickin delicious! The size is good for what you get. I use a bag 3 times for salads. Very easy to keep in the fridge and open and close. I think compared to jars and other olives and the quality it is a good price. The flavor is awesome!

Not comparable to the bars
Flavor Name: Chicken Sriracha, Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
I often get the chicken Sriracha bars, so I thought this is a more economical way to get that bit of protein. However, these are extremely different than the bars. They are thinner, obviously, and that makes the whole bar drier and... I'm not sure how to describe it, it almost tastes like plastic. Overall, I'll get the bars any day, but these I really can't stomach. On the spiciness side, I think they're pretty balanced. My husband, who doesn't tolerate heat well, likes them, so I'd say they're mild spice. But I personally cannot get over the plastic flavor.

For the chicken go with the bars, not the strips.
Flavor Name: Chicken Sriracha, Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
I really enjoyed the larger Sriracha bars, as they were an excellent combo of spicy, salty, and juicy. Bought these strips under the assumption they'd be the same. Not even close. No detectable salt, only the barest hint of spice (you can sort-of get the spice back if you eat a large chunk and chew it for around a minute), and the flavor when you first stick it in your mouth is dry and interrupted by a weird plastic-like taste for the first ten seconds or so. Since it's food I can't return them. At $40 it's an expensive lesson learned. Go with the bars, not the strips.
