We're the Robinsons--we're survivors.

Holy shitzies, fellow readers! WHAT A ROLLER COASTER RIDE!

I'm a long-time fan of Mark Edwards, but he truly outdid himself with this gem of a story. I started reading it about 6 hours ago, and I'm already finished. I couldn't put my Kindle down!

The characters? All beautifully fleshed out, especially Elliot...as a reader, I could feel his pain, frustration, anger, and despair. In his shoes, I'd feel the exact same way. I found myself cheering him on throughout the novel. The Robinson family...all so intensely vile--some of the best antagonists I've read this year. This book gave me ANXIETY, y'all. But in the best possible way.

This isn't really a twisty novel...the whodunit is pretty obvious from the get-go, despite a few strategically placed red herrings. Right up to it's final moment, however, it's deliciously satisfying. I highly recommend this to virtually everyone...especially if you're looking for a high-octane, quick, and rewarding summer read.

4.5 explosive stars, rounded down!
