Dystopian sci-fi is a genre that I can\u2019t seem to get enough of\u2026\u00a0 But this book was a bit too realistic and definitely freaked me out!\u00a0 I actually had plans to go to the mall and told my husband that we\u2019re just going to shop online for a while!\u00a0 The blurb on the back of the book may very well be one of the shortest blurbs I\u2019ve ever read, but it summed it up very well:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just another Saturday in a busy suburban mall. But not for long.\u201d<\/p>\n

When a kid named Marco stumbles upon a small device with a red, blinking LED, he just knows it\u2019s a bomb.\u00a0 When the bomb squad gets called in, things take a turn for the worse.\u00a0 The entire mall ends up on lock-down because the bomb was in the HVAC [heating, ventilation, and air conditioning] control room and it may or may not have spread some form of contagion through the mall.\u00a0 Alternating perspectives between two guys and two girls, this book lays out the details of a terrifying possibility \u2014 being quarantined in a mall, with limited supplies, for an indeterminate amount of time.\u00a0 [shudder]\u00a0 The worst part for me, though, was finding out that this is only book one and I have to wait to see how it all ends!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
