Quirky Cat's Fat Stacks

Book Summary:

Would you take it if you were given a chance to redeem yourself? What about the potential cost – the risk of such a decision? Would you think it through, or just dive right in and hope for the best?

Three tales. Three stories. Three sets of people, all doing everything in their power to survive. One set is trapped in a mangled boarding school. The other is a cable car suspended over nothingness. The final races against time, fighting to find a vaccine before it is too late.

My Review:

So this should go without saying, but don’t read The Drift if you’re looking for a pick-me-up style story. This is a post-apocalyptic tale, with some strong survival elements thrown in for good measure.

I really enjoyed that the story is comprised of three different series of events. It added to the tension, obviously. But it also allowed the pacing to bend and flow as things went on. I won’t say that it gave readers a break because the whole thing is intense, but it helped.

If you enjoyed C.J. Tudor’s The Chaulkman, you will love The Drift. Trust me.

Highlights:

• Multiple plots
• Dystopia
• Mystery/Thriller
• Horror Elements

Trigger Warnings:

• Trapped
• Intense survival situations
