Manhunt by Gretchen Felker-Martin
Did not finish book. Stopped at 8%.

Just wasn’t feeling the vibe at the moment. Enjoy the concept and curious about the book so I want to read it in the future but now it isn’t hitting right

Cool concept but muddy execution. Especially towards the end. Plus i felt the slurs and vitriol to express racism was so unnecessarily too much

It’s not that it’s bad, it just isn’t hitting right for me at the moment. I think it could be interesting but it just isn’t gripping me rn

I had so much fun with this omg it reminded me so much of Until Dawn and that video game is a blast!! Love me a good creature feature horror and this did not disappoint. My only wish is the ending was a little more fleshed out  but it definitely does leave an air of unsettling to have it end the way it did
