A review by mellabella
Panther in the Hive by Olivia A. Cole

4.0

I'm irritated that I waited so long to read this.
This book is timely and well written. It's a mix of genres (horror, sci fi, coming of age). Tasha is an interesting character.
In the beginning she's scavenging for food. Something has happened. The population in futuristic Chicago has been either changed into murderous monsters or killed by the murderous monsters. As the book unfolds we learn that some people got a chip implanted in their necks. The chip promised to make you a better you.
Tasha's parents died a few years before all this. She does have a sister named Leona that she is determine to find. But first she has to find someone Leona told her to seek out in her last letter.
It was fast paced when it should be and poignant at other times. The characters are fleshed out.
Looking forward to reading more of Olivia Coles work.
