Terminal Freeze by Lincoln Child
2.5
<b>Read Completed 6/5/24 |</b> 2.5 stars
TERMINAL FREEZE wasn't as exciting as the first book in this series of standalones connected by a single minor character. I liked the setting and the the concept was interesting, but this felt less sci-fi than the previous book. There was a lot of horror with a lot of horror-movie type chase scenes and gore, and then there was maybe a supernatural angle over science fiction as well.
I also just really didn't connect to any of the characters here. I had a hard time with this cast, for some reason, and everyone kind of blended together. I think I wanted more people who were actively involved in investigating, maybe? The film crew didn't do it for me, and that really never does in any book where they're filming some sort of documentary.
This is a fun series that I've been incorporating when I don't know what to read and I like having it on the back burner for that reason. I love Scott Brick, who narrates the audiobooks, so it's an easy and pleasant listen as well.
