SciFi Book Review: The Trap

The Trap by Andrew Fukuda

Synopsis:
After barely escaping the Mission alive, Gene and Sissy face an impossible task: staying alive long enough to stop an entire world bent on their destruction. Bound on a train heading into the unknown with the surviving Mission girls, Gene, Sissy, David, and Epap must stick together and use everything they have to protect each other and their only hope: the cure that will turn the blood-thirsty creatures around them into humans again. Now that they know how to reverse the virus, Gene and Sissy have one final chance to save those they love and create a better life for themselves. But as they struggle to get there, Gene’s mission sets him on a crash course with Ashley June, his first love . . . and his deadliest enemy.

Review:
Gene and Sissy must once again enter the world of their predators. And while Gene grew up in their world, hiding in plain sight, Sissy has never had to. This brings back all of the heart-pounding suspense from the first novel of the trilogy. Meanwhile, Gene has to make a hard decision, bringing him face-to-face with Ashley June again.

The Trap is a fast-paced, exhilarating conclusion to an exciting trilogy. It’s fresh and unique story, and completely unpredictable. Packed with intrigue, suspense, horror, and a bit of romance – these novels were impossible to put down. Easily one of the scariest set of books I’ve ever read, I highly recommend these to teens and adults alike who enjoy dark thrillers.
