The cicadas damage crops and trees, and swarm locals. Jessica, a former cop whose entire family was killed in a car crash two years earlier, is deputized during the crisis.

After Fish and Wildlife removes the swarm, Jessica must also confront the two-year anniversary of her family's death, Natasha's budding romance with a local editor, as well as a sudden but devastating loss that changes everything.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Chelsea Catherine is a bright, raw, original new voice in American fiction. Her prose is electric. And <em>Summer of Cicadas</em> was a novel I couldn't put down.--Thomas Christopher Greene, author of <em>The Perfect Liar</em> </p> <p>Many authors are good at writing about the body. Few authors excel at writing the body of the world, the way it moves through everyone: cicadas owning us, making us restless, flirtatious, fearful even; shadows hiding our shadows; the defeating pines; the teasing sun. Chelsea Catherine creates a natural world as real as her characters. But it's not about her deft ability at description or setting; it's about her deep understanding of how everything moves as one--people, moods, moments, manifestations--and the modern Romance (with a capital R) of it all.--Erica Dawson, author of <em>When Rap Spoke Straight to God</em></p> <p>Catherine wraps a fast-paced, stirring narrative about loss and unrequited love into a story about an unusually aggressive 17-year cicada swarm and the terror it brings to the residents of a West Virginia town.--<strong><em>Publisher's Weekly</em></strong></p> <p>We see the author's ability to understand how everything comes together including terror and love.--Amos Lassen</p> <p>Blog post, On Dealing with Death (in the time of ) by Chelsea Catherine</p> <p>Featured on the <em>Without Books</em> podcast.</p> <p>Featured in <strong><em>The Gabber </em></strong></p> <p> Featured on World Wide Work </p> <p> Reviewed in Expendable Mudge Muses Aloud </p> <p>Reviewed on Shelf Media Group </p> <p>Excerpt shared on <em>Mercurius</em></p> <p>Featured in <em>Carve Magazine</em></p><br>
