Alive by Scott Sigler
3.0

ARC kindly provided by the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

So, the author requested that we not reveal anything, which makes writing a review slightly difficult because most things I want to comment on would reveal things.

What I can say is that I appreciate how quick of a read this was. I was engaged the whole time which made the book go by fast. I liked that there was a bit of mystery about what was going on and how they ended up where they were. I liked that a female was in charge.

However, I'm not sure I really liked her character. There seem to be some real aggression and impulse control issues where she's concerned and I have a feeling that's going to play into the following books. As another reviewer mentioned, there are a ton of unanswered questions, which is expected in a trilogy. The problem is that I'm not sure if I really want to know the answers bad enough to read the next book. We'll see.
