Another fantastic popcorn horror/thriller from my personal queen! It has been a minute since I read her work, but I was so glad to have picked this up.
As usual with Clarke, this plot is absolutely wild in the very best of ways. I’ve learned to not even try and figure out the end and for good reason. It’s never what you expect it to be, and the twists always get me because they’re so good. I ended up really loving the character development with both the primary and secondary characters. They felt exceedingly more real than past characters I have read of Clarke’s and I love to see the grow up! The setting is more modern that I’m used to with her stories but again it all worked out in the end and I found myself really enjoying this new vibe of hers. I will be sure to keep reading this series and be expecting the craziest of twists!
