# Mimic & Me

By Cassius Lange & Ryan Tang · Mimic & Me, book 1

Profile: https://hahafiction.com/books/mimic-me-4c4c2899/

Left dying after a betrayal, scout Damon offers his food to a mimic. The creature fuses with him, giving him extraordinary powers and a companion whose appetite runs from cake to human flesh. Staying alive now means sharing a body with something that sees people as food.

## What makes it funny?

The mimic has few moral concerns to interrupt its pursuit of the next meal. In the audiobook, Jeff Hays gives the creature multiple voices; The Audiobook Review singled out those variations as part of the fun.

### The comedy at work

The setup treats a ravenous monster as an adventuring partner. Its enthusiasm for food turns supernatural power into a practical feeding problem, with cake and human flesh occupying the same menu.

### Try this if…

For dungeon-adventure readers who enjoy watching an underpowered scout acquire unsettling new abilities and assemble an adventuring party. Levels, skills and changes to Damon’s body are central attractions.

### Good to know

Expect people being eaten and frequent stat readouts. Damon remains the main character, with the mimic as his companion.
