*I'm not going to give you the 'what this book is about' blurb - you can read that elsewhere.
1. I’ve been reading a lot of collections/collaborations/anthologies lately, and I have to say this is the most unique concept I’ve had the pleasure of reading! I loved how each author’s story was part of a much larger plot. ‘The Generator’ isn’t just a TOC with a slew of stories lined up with a similar theme, yet completely separate from one another.
2. This is a heavy read. The stories themselves are all really good, but the unsettling part is moreso the overarching plot. It is dark and evil and takes you right up through the very last page. There’s no break in the malevolence. Well done, Candace!
3. The ending is a bit of a cliffhanger – will there be a 2nd installation? Please say yes, please say yes…
4. Honestly, I loved everything about this. I even loved that I loathed the main character – I actually think you need to for the plot to work as well as it does. Joel is absolutely supposed to be hated; pretentious, no talent hack that he is.
