The Compound
By Robin Mahle
I was given a copy of the book by the author to read - my first time reading this author - and man am I thankful I was chosen as one of the ARC’s for this book.
First off, not for the weak of heart. The author does an amazing job of creating a story around a story before you realize it’s happening. I found myself sucked in from the first paragraph of Chapter 1 and stayed that way throughout the entire book. “Flames licking my back. Screams……” tell me how that doesn’t make your mouth drop open and your heart beat double time making your mind wonder where is this going??? So many times throughout the book I thought I had unraveled the mystery of EVERYTHING going on only to find out how wrong I was. From the main character to the supporting characters there were no stones left unturned when it came to letting you get to know them - but it wasn’t in a drawn out “oh my gosh can you get to it already” kind of way. Twists, turns and valleys but they are all worth going through to get to the truth!! I know this is all vague but I do NOT want to give any spoilers to the book but I will tell you this one thing, make sure to read the ENTIRE book as to finish out the story!!!
PS I finished this book in less than one day because I couldn’t put it down!!!
