It’s an amazing experience to sit down and find out what your characters are going to do by watching the words appear on the screen. I never knew writing could be like that. I always assumed writers think of a story then write it down, but no, for me I’m finding out what happens after my fingers punch out the words. (less)

This was a rollercoaster.

First, I’ll start with something good. The post-apocalyptic setting descriptions in the beginning of the book were fantastic. I could feel the grossness of the MC’s surroundings, like something out of the Texas Chainsaw Massa

By the end I was leaning forward in my chair.

This is a good thriller. It starts strong, with never a dull moment. The two POVs work well. In both instances, starting in the middle of the action with a lot of forward momentum. Not very many twists alo
