Review of 'Deadline' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

Après le final spectaculaire du premier volume, les péripéties de l’équipe de blogueurs reprennent de plus belle. Encore et toujours de l’action, peut-être même quelques zombies de plus pour une équipe recomposée et prête à en découdre. L’évolution de certains personnages laisse pantois d’admiration, tant de finesse et de réalisme, moi, ça m’éblouit ! L’auteur n’arrête pas de parsemer son intrigue de trouvailles et de rebondissements juste assez spectaculaires pour nous surprendre sans nous prendre pour des idiots (enfin pas trop), et si quelques aspects sont assez prévisibles le rythme toujours aussi soutenu ne laisse pas le temps au lecteur de se questionner inutilement, et de nouvelles révélations entraînent nos blogueurs bien au-delà de leurs limites, sans cesse repoussées par leur quête de vérité.

Le dénouement est cette fois encore plus surprenant et annonce un dernier volume plein de promesses. À ce stade, l’exaltation me gagne.
