My Review:
A unique and creative spin on the post-apocalyptic/dystopian genre perfect for fans of Justin Cronin.
In Masseurs debut novella, we’re introduced to a relatable and realistic main character Michael Stevenson who is the epitome of your average dad with a love of kraft beer and his family—wife Teresa and daughter Lucy. When Michael wakes up to discover his family is gone along with most of humanity, his heartbreaking yet uplifting journey begins. His quest to survive and determination to find his wife and daughter rest at the heart of the story.
Complimenting Michael’s character is a memorable and distinctive cast of secondary characters also thrown into the madness of this new world.
The setting also plays an integral role—a character onto itself. Imaginative and complex world-building intertwine with Michael’s story, revealed bit by bit in a way that is understandable for the reader while immersing them in this new and terrifying reality. All and all an exciting start to an entertaining series.
