The Second Shooter by Nick Mamatas

3.0

There were parts of this book that I really did enjoy, and the actual concept of this book was really intriguing. I've never really heard anything about the second shooter phenomenon, but it’s left me very interested and I plan to look into this more.

Anyway, while there were parts that I was intrigued by, the majority of this book left me very confused. I did appreciate the character interactions, and some of the conversations that were brought up left me a lot to think about.

I didn’t love it, and I didn’t hate it. I did find that I really struggled to understand the reasons behind the main character's actions, and I didn’t connect with him or his aspirations.

(Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for this ARC in exchange for an honest review).
