Holy crap. This was a fast-paced, action-packed, sci-fi thriller. It reminded me of The Purge, The Walking Dead and Last of Us. And I loved it for that.
We follow a family of four running for their lives. Seemingly overnight, a portion of the population turned into murderous psychopaths— the electricity is gone, cell service is out, and food is growing scarce.
The only form of communication is the radio and right now a man is telling everyone a man’s home address and encouraging them to murder him.
First off I just loved the fast pace, something was always happening and I didn’t want to stop reading. I think I just also enjoy these end of humanity stories, seeing how far we can go to survive.
The reason behind the murder spree in this story was cool, and it’s not something I’ve seen before (doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist in some story somewhere, I just haven’t seen it).
There were a few times in the dialogue where I rolled my eyes— it felt dated and quite obvious it was written by a man. But thankfully it didn’t detract from my enjoyment.
Definitely recommend!
