This book was right up my alley, dark and bloody with an end that made me say “didn’t see that one coming”. It began with seven characters who find themselves trapped on a subway train. All but one made me a little bit nervous with their distasteful personalities. Throughout the story the author is trying to get us to guess who the bad guy is. Who is the one responsible for the entrapment of all the passengers on this train. The description of gore was vivid and reminiscent of Stephen King in quality. Although I found myself wondering if there was going to be anything ELSE to this book besides the horror (more character depth, new scenery, etc) and thought it deserving of only 3 stars. BUT the ending, the ending. When it all came together and I saw the WHY.
This book is not for the queasy. But if you can handle some blood and guts, otherworldly horrors, and (very mild) language combined with characters that make you want to wrinkle your nose with disgust then read up. Enjoy the ride.
