coleridgegirl 's review for:
Doomsday Match
by Jeff Wheeler
I really enjoyed this - and I will definitely read the next book. There’s enough loose ends to carry into a series without a massive cliffhanger, which is good.
This kind of reminded me of Michael Crichton and Dan Brown. Fast-paced with some history/science thrown in. It’s probably technically sci-fi/fantasy but very grounded in reality with a few minor elements being somewhat out there. The thriller and adventure elements are very engaging. I looked forward to getting back to it to see what happened next.
My only real complaint was that there were too many pop culture references that felt forced and the slang was awkward (and didn’t need explanation if it was going to be used). Fairly minor but it definitely took me out of the story when it happened.
