Contagion by Erin Bowman
3.0

It was okay. I really didn't like that the book started with a view from inside the base. I would have liked it so much more if we didn't know anything besides what the crew knows. I just like discovering things at the same times my protagonists do.

I was expecting to feel more for the crew but it quickly became clear that we should only connect to the young protagonists and that the rest was expendable. Also mannn I hated Dylan. I know a unlikeable written character doesn't equil bad writing but she dampened my enjoyment so much. She was clearly written to have a reason for the crew to enter the base, but spelling out every single reason why they shouldn't and then doing it still just felt incredible frustrating to read. Why not make them oblivious to the threat and the locking them in the base or something? It's a horror trope as old as time but it works!
Anyway I just kind of put it on in the background wouldnt read it or recommend it to anyone else.
