Welcome to Litsy!

I love this series…and this book is my favorite to date. Hard to write a review without giving anything away, but I thought this was a great psychological thriller. A bit reminiscent of Silence of the Lambs…

This one was a pretty unusual listen for me. I‘m not much of a horror fan, but I have to say this was gripping from the get-go. I really liked the multiple points of view, and I had absolutely no idea how they were going to connect. I thought it was very interesting how they all eventually merged. It is definitely a bleak, not at all hopeful take on a pandemic/post outbreak kind of world. But I would say if I could stomach it, others can!

I loved this book all the way through until the ending, which nearly ruined the whole book for me. 😡

Sally first presents as a neurodiverse MC, which I felt was handled really sensitively (not like The Maid which felt like it was slightly poking fun). However, as the story unfolds, we learn how her past may have influenced her behaviour - nature vs nurture, maybe.

This was MUCH darker than I expected but also warm and funny. TW in spoiler.
