Halloween Reading: Highway to Hell Week | Crossroads | AstraDaemon

CRUEL WORLD by Joe Hart is very original outbreak story. Nothing could prepare me for the mutations. Quinn's facial deformities seem so trivial compared to the transformation of the living infected. While the setup takes up a fourth of the novel, once the action kicks, the various threats Quinn must face are terrifying.

There are so many revelations towards the end of the story, I worried Quinn's journey might require a sequel, but Hart delivers a final destination for young man's trip through hell.

I love the variety of characters throughout the book, particularly the two survivors Quinn travels with. The differences in appearances and personalities provides plenty of thrilling and emotional moments throughout this novel.

I recommend this one to all fiction readers.

As always,
AstraDaemon
