This novel starts off with a creepy atmosphere and Giles just continues to ramp up the tension in this novel. While some things are predictable, Giles continues to ramp up the tension and the stakes. I really enjoyed the characters, the complicated relationships, and how wealth and race play such complicated roles within this novel. The setting of the theme park and how the apocalypse seems to feed it just roll right into the stakes.
I loved this novel and highly recommend (but there are definitely some trigger warnings to check).

It is not hard to imagine the sinister plans of the rich and powerful in light of climate change, political divides and racial tensions in the late-stages of capitalism. But the smart use of a vacation resort turned company town riddled with technological fail-safes took this story to another level.
