Reminiscent of Stephanie Meyers The Host, Zero Repeat Forever features an apocalyptic alien invasion. But this story lacks the rich world building and the characters are one-dimensional. I think Eighths character is particularly undeveloped and I struggled to connect with him, feeling zero emotional empathy (the tantrums didnt help!) By the end of the book I still knew very little about him, his people and where he came from. What are the aliens there for? There are so many unanswered questions I guess the sequel will reveal more but I think this book could have given us a little more of a solid background. Full review: http://crushingcinders.com/zero-repeat-forever I was voluntarily provided with a complimentary review copy by the publisher.
