Meh. I liked the setting and the way it’s sort of an anthology story but with a spin on it. But the whole epidemic never works for me and I found the actual plot itself predictable.

Damn! There’s more twists and turns in this than a goddamn maze, and I loved it! 

The story is separated into three different narratives and all of them have different strengths, and sometimes weaknesses. But even when I was less fussed about that particular narrative I still wanted to keep reading to find out what happened. 

This book isn’t a typical dystopian horror, there’s so much to it, and although a part of me suspected certain things, I still had way more questions than answers until the end. 

I never expected to get through this as fast as I did, but I just couldn’t put it down. 

Perfect for a blustering, cold winter night, when the wind is whistling and you just can’t seem to shift that chill in your bones.

this is a veeeeeeeeeeeeery fast paced fun thriller book. Every chapter ended with a mini cliffhanger so you wanted to keep reading to find out then you realize the entire plot was just meh. I wish I liked it more than I do though. The cable car could have been completely scrapped and the other two storylines could have been more focused on to make more developed characters and the plot twist could have been just as effective. The ending was quite fitting and satisfactory for the themes of the book

I do think the time lapse pov was quite unique and made it an interesting read. once again didn't really care for the characters also felt very....meh about carter/daniel/whatever else he is being the "main character". I didn't really like having all the side characters killed off but with daniel also dying I didn't mind it that much. but it was also like.....all that for what??!?!?! I wish they didn't add eva's chapter as the very last one it could have been somewhere else??? kinda ruined the mood for me

This is hands down my favourite read this year. I couldn't put it down and didn't see any of the twists coming. I won't do a detailed review because I think this book is best to go into blind, but DAMN.
