Immunity by Erin Bowman
4.0
Okay, before I begin, I must stress this was not a bad read, I did enjoy it for what it was... BUT this was not what I expected going into it, and for me, that was a bit of a letdown.
I absolutely adored the first book, Contagion, it was fast paced, claustrophobic and an all round good sci-fi horror. Immunity was more just sci-fi, and didn't really have the horror element that helped make the first in this duology excel.
A big chunk of this book felt long, and just when I thought I was gonna get some infected action, it was over and done with, it felt rushed. Not to say we didn't get action in this book, there was some moments, but again, it didn't have the same impact as the first installment.
I love the characters in this series, this book did a good job of fleshing them out more. I enjoyed Thea and Coen's relationship throughout also.
Overall, I gave this 4 stars because, as I said, this was not a bad read, it was just not what I thought it was gonna be and it lost it's horror factor, so I deducted a star.
