Viscous

Loved the entire book from beginning to end. S.E. Green, knows how to spin a twisted and disturbing story.

Hunger Games meets Handmaids Tale

Much of the story line reminded me of the Hunger Games, while the forced actions and “slaves” made me think of a Handmaids Tale. It’s not a book I would typically choose, but it was highly recommended to me. I didn’t care for it, but pushed through and finished it, wanting to know how it ended.
