I really liked the premise of this and the first half was great. But the twist was SO DISAPPOINTING. It fell right into the current patterns for thrillers and I had been hoping for something more original. A let down for me. #netgalley

Great concept, but the plotting made no sense.

The upside (?) to insomnia last night was reading this delightful Lord of the Flies retelling! I could strongly identify to the claustrophobia of quarantine and isolation (thanks 2020) and the fear of a disease that ravages without pattern. Spooky, gory, and with no easy answers or explanations, Power’s debut is a winner. Perfect for fans of Nick Cutter’s THE TROOP. #netgalley ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
