Gripping, thrilling and terrifying in equal measures, Contagion is the.
All the characters were written amazingly & I loved and hated them all a little bit. By: Erin Bowman Narrated by: Amy McFadden Series Contagion, Book 1 Critic Reviews. You never know who to trust, who has secrets, who is just doing something for their own gain & who is hiding something that could change everything! This is multi POV & in every POV you end up second guessing another character who you thought you trusted. These characters were just all over the place. The plot was unpredictable, action packed & intense in the best ways possible!
This book did not slow down from start to finish! And it worked perfectly that way. The writing just drags you so far into this story that it will feel real. Like if I heard a noise in the real world when I was deep in this book I would nearly shit myself. You could feel it & you could see it playing out, it was just amazingly written! I don’t read horror too often & this is Sci-Fi Horror and it definitely came through. The atmosphere of this book was just outstanding. It flowed really well & there was never any confusion. There was the perfect amount of world building, character development, action, creepiness, sarcasm & second guessing. This book was SO intense, SO gripping, SO interesting and just my god! I could not put this book down! The writing was awesome.
