I want to give this a higher score, just because of the writing itself, but...
An easy read but so much a derivative of many other stories. And the story itself is overly complex in one way and massively simple in another.
Could have been so much better. Recommended as a simple read to get your number up.

This one sucked me in almost immediately, and it kept my interest throughout the full reading. The narrator was excellent which always adds to the story.
As for the actual writing, it’s certainly not a masterpiece by any means and there are a lot of obvious influences from other works, but it told a great story and it told it well. I look forward to other works in the series.

4.5 stars. If you liked the Strain, you'll love this one. Fingers crossed that there is a sequel.
