I like the premise, but i unfortunately didn't like the narration, story, characters, or how it was written.

I saw this on audible marked under horror and saw that it was free so I added it to my library. When I read the blurb it seemed like a post apocalyptic, scifi horror, which was checking quite a few boxes for me. Then I saw it was only free till 11/30 and made a break for it.
This novel features multiple perspectives, but for the most part the main is Xavier ‘X’ Rodriguez, a Hell Diver team commander. In the novel’s post apocalyptic world, humanity is surviving by living in the sky in giant airships. Hell Divers are an elite group of people who dive to the surface for supplies that help keep the airship in the air. After a near world ending WWIII, the earth’s surface is plagued with radiation and electrical storms. Hell Divers aren’t expected to live past 15 dives.
“They dive so humanity survives.”
Really enjoyed this one. Realistic science without diving too far into the specifics on the more out there stuff. A great mix of horror and scifi as well with some creepy, horrific creatures and a vivid PA earth. Absolutely action packed to the gills with back to back blood pounding close calls.
Personally a 5/5* for me. I had a lot of fun. I would like to continue on with the series, but I didn’t realize how many there were when I started (10).

Corny as heck. I enjoyed reading it well enough. Felt a lot like a video game. Feels weird to call such a bleak, dark book fun, but... I had fun!
