I get a lot of book recs from r/suggestmeabook and this one came from there—I tend not to read up more on the book than what is stated there and because of that all i knew about this was that people were trapped in a zoo and had no idea this was an active shooter situation. Likely wouldn't have read if i had known that, but I enjoyed it regardless. Maybe it was a good way to get me out of normal thriller categories.

The baby situation was... a lot. I have too many feelings to swallow that and not get stuck, i found myself only thinking about the baby the entire rest of the book after the garbage can situation and was slightly upset to know know their fate.

I read the book over the span of less than 24 hours so i clearly enjoyed it and was hooked. My biggest complaint is that the didn't pull the zoo into the book more, it felt like the book could have taken place anywhere. I wish the setting was more intertwined in the chaos, especially considering the fact that it's not a normal location.

Good, quick read. Kept me hooked. Could have pulled the setting in a lot more. Rude that i don't know the fate of the baby.
