It bounced around a lot & didn't really ever fall into a rhythm. In my opinion, this one wasn't as good as the first 2.
To, co tato série s dalšími díly ztrácí na realističnosti, nabírá na čtivosti. Ve víru, je akcí a dramatem nabitý thriller s detektivním prvky, který nenechá čtenáře ani na chvíli vydechnout. I když jsem, pokud jde o tuto sérii, byla zpočátku poměrně skeptická, musím si s postupem času přiznat, že pokud je brána s dostatečným nadhledem, dokáže strhnout a nadchnout. A mě skutečně baví, je originální a jiná a i když se z Gwen stala tak trochu "superhrdinka", je kniha i přes to neuvěřitelně čtivá, plná napětí a nemá tendence sklouzávat k patosu. Doufám, že autorka udrží nasazenou laťku a tempo i v dalších dílech, protože já už se teď nemůžu dočkat, co dalšího vymyslí.

I know this one has mixed reviews but I actually like this one more than book 2. I like how book 2 wrapped up the main story line so I was unsure where this one was going to take us. But I liked how they tied in a totally new storyline to the old one. I thought it was a nice pivot without completely disregarding the past. I thought this was one was more page turning from beginning to end, I really was hooked. I also enjoyed the Lanny and Conner chapters way more in this book than in the last. The author did a great job of evolving their characters to become something I understood rather than became annoyed by. Loved this one.
Very much the same book as the first 2 and very repetitive. Completely unbelievable.

Her stories are always survivalist & action packed, which I appreciate if that's what you're looking for. I guess I wasn't as thrilled because it felt like the same formula.
Also some of the characters and situations seemed a bit off-kilter somehow. Perhaps I could say too much was going on from half way to the end. Just jam packed with action and new characters, without much explanation until the very last page. Which even then didn't really feel like a satisfying ending. Just a big confusing war zone by the end, and how did Sam correctly take a guess as to the location of the little girl Ellie White. I just feel like there was a lot of unlikely scenarios, like the FBI friend siding with the crazy conspiracy nut. But props to the creepy little cult town. Still an enjoyable read.
