Before I even get to the meat of my thoughts on this...I do not condone of this author using multiple racial slurs in a book published in 2018. I understood why he put them there (its for character development and to show the background of which specific characters grew up and helps the reader understand their personality/views better) I think this could have been accomplished in a less offensive way. 

Looking beyond all of that, this was a great locked room/survival esque thriller. It was tense. I was anxious. The author did a great job setting the scene and delivering twist after twist. I flew through this in a couple sittings. 

It's a shame the author chose to include the language he did but seeing past that I still think this is an excellent execution of a thriller and it's a 5 star read for me.
