What I Just Finished Reading: Only one book since last week, The Silent Army by James Knapp. (Review below.) I am falling down on the job!
What I'm Reading Right Now: I started Husband Material by Alexis Hall two days ago and I am... not loving it so far. I adored Boyfriend Material so much and have been soooo looking forward to the sequel. I haven't had much reading time lately so I'm not very far into it, so hopefully it picks up. *fingers crossed*
What I'm Planning to Read Next: It should be the last book in the Revivors trilogy, which got pushed back when my name got to the top of the wait list for Husband Material. But it might end up being a non-fiction book that I've been wanting to read for my 'Back to School' prompt.
92. The Silent Army by James Knapp
The 2nd book of a trilogy, in which the dead are revived and used as soldiers. This story picks up two years after the first and continues to focus on Nico, an FBI agent tasked with… well, it’s complicated. Suffice to say that both sides he’s tracking have legitimate concerns: there’s Samuel Fawkes, a revivor who is trying to bring down a segment of the population that is manipulating others using mind control, and then the mind controllers who are trying to stop Fawkes and his ‘silent army’ of revivors from destroying their hold on society. Both parties have a point and there’s a lot of grey area, which is interesting. I do feel that the writing just gets too vague and flat, though. It’s an interesting concept, but the writing makes it a bit of a slog to get through sometimes. (Still, I’ll continue to the third book because there’s some stuff set up for the finale and I do want to find out what happens.)
