"Afognak" Review!

Hey y'all! How are your pre-holiday festivities going? I hope you all are doing fantastic! I have a review for you guys over an AMAZING book that I just finished up, titled "Afognak" by author James Rains. I was contacted by him and was requested to review his book in exchange for a free copy (which is always lovely!) Let's dive in shall we?

Synopsis:

Run. Fight. Die.

The island of Kodiak, Alaska has been harboring a dark secret for centuries, and that secret is about to be unearthed.

Dr. Joseph Karikoff and a group of survivors race against time to flee the horrors unleashed on the island in this apocalyptic biomedical thriller.

Rating:

SIX OUT OF FIVE STARS

(But since that's not technically possible, a five out of five, hands down)

Review:

"Afognak" is breathtakingly real. It os chaotic, messy, violent, and utterly terrifying to imagine. There is absolutely no sugarcoating to the details, allowing any reader to completely immerse into the story. On top of the excellent prose, it has a surprisingly sinister under plot that will keep you on the edge of your seat. It has twists that will leave you astonished and heart-broken, and the unification of all the different perspectives and characters is almost, if not completely, flawless. The use of dramatic irony is superb and makes you want to smack a couple (ahem, ALL) of the characters for their ignorance. Tying it all together is a cliffhanger that left me searching the following pages for more. I cannot wait to read the upcoming sequel, "Chiniak" and to figure out the questions left open-ended in the epilogue.
