dark emotional sad tense fast-paced

• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.5

•This book was wild from the first page, no messing about. 
•I enjoyed the perspective swap between Sloan, Asa & Carter. 
•The story felt so quick & left me with many questions.
•I can only imagine living in those circumstances; events simply occur without rhyme or reason at crazy pace. It’s taxing physically, mentally and beyond emotionally.
•I blazed through the story, truly wanting to know if Sloan would be okay. 
•I carried a heavy heart for a lot of this quick story.
•Realising that this can be a current chapter in someone’s real life on this planet made me feel many things. 
•Getting into the mind of Asa was absolutely necessary for this story. 
•I loved the insight into Stephen.

Maybe this could be a good story if you scrapped everything and just kept the very very basic concept. 

But it was badly written and Al of the characters were terrible people.

Quick read/listen. A lot of dark/graphic/triggering events. I like stories told from multiple perspectives, such as this.
