Gretchen Felker-Martin: Manhunt (Paperback, 2022, Tor Nightfire)

Y: The Last Man meets The Girl With All the Gifts in Gretchen Felker-Martin's Manhunt, …

Review of 'Manhunt' on 'Goodreads'

Nonbinary person here.

I'm honestly so disappointed. I was really looking forward to reading this, but fairly early on I was put off. It's not about the graphic gore, I can handle that with no issues. The writing is terrible and riddled with really shitty stereotypes, and the sexual stuff is so badly written it's like something from the worst side of literotica.

It sounded like such a good premise, and it just fails hard.

Maggie Oliver: Survivors (Paperback, John Blake)

Review of 'Survivors' on 'Goodreads'

A very important book. A few who have reviewed it were whining about Maggie putting a lot of her own back story in the book, but it was important to show the reader who she was and is as a person; she also needed to convey how the force worked in the past, and how little the old boys club have allowed positive change in policing. I am not a fan of the police at all, but this story was an extremely important one to listen to, considering how the abuse of vulnerable girls is still very much rampant at the hands of revolting men.
