🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 to Code: Revenant by Christopher Robertson.
I've read books with pace that I would describe as 'break-neck' but this takes the cake. Code: Revenant is the fastest book I've ever read to drop its readers into the action and not let go throughout its entire length. Revenant follows five forest rangers searching of missing hikers only to find themselves stranded in the same woods, besieged by a volley of monsters that all seem connected to a spa retreat for the super elite. It's intense, gory and action packed.
It is also massively inspired by the first Resident Evil game. Characters get to solve puzzles to uncover mysteries or escapes, the book is filled with extracts from diary entry's and even one of the characters drops the famous 'bingo' line. Yet, in this brilliant love letter to that game I also found echoes of Alan Wake and The Lost Boy's.
If you've followed my reviews for a while you'll know that Robertson is one of my favourite writers. Anything he produces I eat up and Code: Revenant is no different. If you are a fan of his work I'd say that this book is closer to his books Sewer Sharks and Euffed Up Bugs than The Cotton Candy Massacre. It's also one of his lightest reads, in terms of emotion. Robertson's books, beneath all the horror and humour, providing some heavy lifting with emotional stakes, especially the last cotton candy book. This is a breath of a fresh air. It's fun, breezy and can easily be finished in a single sitting leaving the reader with a big smile of their face.
