I’m a huge fan of Lost, Yellowjackets and From. I love that strangers in a mysterious, isolated location, locked room style storytelling where all is not what it seems. And when a book pops through your letterbox that sounds exactly like this, you stop what you are doing and read it immediately! I started Red River Seven yesterday and finished it today. I was hooked! It’s a very fast pace, on the edge of your seat read. If I had to put it down, I was in a hurry to get back to it so I could figure out just what the hell was going on! Like the characters in this book, I think it’s best if you go in blind knowing very little!! Just make sure you enjoy the journey a little better than they do!! I was thoroughly entertained by this speedy read and really flew through it!

I’d recommend this book to:
If you love that, wake up in a mysterious place vibe, enjoyed The Hunt or 28 Days Later and want something entertaining and thrilling that you can blast through for spooky season but not too scary then grab yourself a copy of this!

A brilliant premise and an intriguing story.  Something, and I am not sure what, kept me from feeling fully engaged with the characters but it might just be me.  If you love dystopian stories like this it's worth checking out.
