Beneath the Wake by Ross Pennie

My rating: 2 of 5 stars


Well, that wasn’t nearly as enjoyable as I had hoped.

The mystery was interesting initially but I was pretty disappointed by the reveal – the actual way it was revealed and the entire cause of the outbreak. The only thing I liked less than that was the selectively mute kid, Travis, having a POV. Honestly, I can’t think of a single thing that it added to the story and it broke any tension I was feeling.

I guess I wanted something a bit more gritty.

One good thing is that I never felt like I was missing anything by jumping in with the 4th book in a series. And the narrator was pretty good. I loved the Canadian accent. Made me miss talking with my Emotional Support Canadian.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for a copy of the audiobook!
