Expectations far exceeded!
I won't lie when I went into this series with very low expectations. Reading up on it beforehand it sounded like a dreadful idea, didn't fit with any current canon, and gave the impression it was going to be yet another reboot. How wrong I was!

The first thing you must know is that it is not a reboot, but is a new entry in the video game universe, taking place after Resident Evil: Village.

The lead cast all perform their parts perfectly, and if you're a real Resident Evil fan, the story will blow your mind.

The only things that really let it down are the quality of CGI, which I can say without any exaggeration, at points share the same quality with Sharknado.

The other thing that lets the show down is the acting for most minor characters. As I said, the lead cast were for the most part excellent, but at many points the terrible acting of a minor character will detract from an entire scene.

Overall though, a wonderfully pleasant surprise!

Enjoy!

⭐️⭐️⭐️

You can't see them. But they can see you.

This forest isn't charted on any map. Every car breaks down at its treeline. Mina's is no different. Left stranded, she is forced into the dark woodland only to find a woman shouting, urging Mina to run to a concrete bunker. As the door slams behind her, the building is besieged by screams.

Mina finds herself in a room with a wall of glass, and an electric light that activates at nightfall, when the Watchers come above ground. These creatures emerge to observe their captive humans and terrible things happen to anyone who doesn't reach the bunker in time.

Afraid and trapped among strangers, Mina is desperate for answers. Who are the Watchers, and why are they keeping the humans imprisoned, keen to watch their every move?

It was a decent read. A really creepy creature feature. It is quite similar to a lot of these sorts of books that I’ve read and nothing really stood out as different really but still an enjoyable read.

The continuation of Lann and Kat's story starts two weeks after The Beginning ends. I would say that you don't need to have read that novella, but it certainly helped, and I wouldn't have wanted to read this without that, but that's just me.

This review may be short, as I don't give away spoilers. Kat and Lann's relationship isn't over, for a number of reasons. One thing they do have to do though, is make a decision about something. All I can say is what a terrible, horrible decision to have to make. The reactions and behaviour of those involved, and their friends, made it all the more believable.

Old enemies come into play, and the overall story arc moves along with fresh intrigue and twists. Old friends are shown in this book too, and I loved the friendship that comes into play between Kat, Clelia and Maya.

Best in the series so far for me, loved every word. Highly recommended.
