A good read.
Not the best book MR has written but a good read overall! If there was a sequel I probably would!

Unexpected and compelling
I was quite unsure about this title, but took a risk on it.
It turned out to be very good, although rather gruesome in parts. But not gratuitously so.
Good storyline and well structured

Loved it!
I absolutely loved this book, it was so nicely written. The story was great, the characters made you either love or hate them and I really hope there's a TV show adapted from this.

Ahhh Reilly you’ve done it again
Matthew Reilly is a favourite author of mine, ever since I picked up Seven Ancient Wonders. So when this book appeared I assumed it was going to sit in a similar category. It doesn’t, But that does not matter. Reilly has written yet another imaginative book in his literate style. It’s an exciting and unique read. Do buy this book!
The narrator is so important for audio books. Norma Butikofur has a voice I could listen to. She has a great way of defining the characters and getting across their personalities. She also does very well to distinguish between the characters and it feels like you’re listening to different people.

Unusual but too much swearing.
Not for me - but then I’m not the target audience. I found the story hard to care about. The main character was both racist and sexist, she claims to be unlike the other horrid girls yet continually belittles others for their skin colour, size and mental health. It wouldn’t be so bad if those awful representations were ever challenged - they weren’t. So maybe that’s just how the author really does perceive the world and how people are.
Sorry not for me. I liked the Mayan references but they passed so quickly I couldn’t really treasure them.

Brilliance as usual
Absolutely fantastic book, loved the thriller/mystery aspect of it, kept me coming back at every chance so I could find out what happened to all the characters. Another great book by Matthew Reilly

Gosh... surprisingly good!!
I really wasn’t sure about this... a YA book (I am not a YA!)... but I enjoyed MR’s Scarecrow series, so thought I’d give it a try.
I was pleasantly surprised to be quickly absorbed and I was up half the night listening. I actually found it a little scary at times, but it’s not gruesome or horror, just suspenseful.
Anyway, don’t be put off by the YA label, it’s really a mystery/sci-fi tale with a high-school backdrop, but fairly quickly shifts focus to an impending apocalypse and mysterious goings on... am looking forward to the next instalment!
Well narrated too!!
