A review by herbalmoon
The Hive by Barry Lyga, Morgan Baden
3.0
Honestly, it's not all that great--the protag spends the first several chapters in the book in an unproductive rage and when the truth comes out about what's happening, it's trite and not at all surprising. The only reason this book gets three stars instead of one is that it clearly affected me on some level, or I wouldn't have been hesitant to get on the internet after reading several chapters last night.

If you're like me and come to GR in hopes of finding the review that will give you enough spoilers to decide whether it's readable, here's your passage:
2. A Trumpian president leveraged ghost accounts against Cassie in hopes that he'd be able to convene a constitutional convention and manage to become dictator for life.
3. The girl whose friendship Cassie turned down at the beginning of the book turns against her and feeds information to the enemy. You read right: Sarah provides data in hopes of getting Cassie killed, just because the latter was caught up in her anger and wouldn't be her friend.
Now do you see why I complain of tritness?
