Interesting concept-telling a story through security terminals-but it just felt soulless. When you figure out who the narrator is it makes sense as to why it's so bland & robotic, but it's not compelling and I just felt bored.
"Wohlsdorf creates strong tension, both dramatic and sexual, through her excellent prose. However, Security also proves why slashers tend to work better as films than novels: after a time, even the best written descriptions of gore build tedium rather than tension."
I won't do this review justice because I read this book a little while ago. But looking at my review on NetGalley it seems that I really, really enjoyed it. I remember being shocked and moved by the ending, and I know that I read it in one day. I also think I described it as cinematic.
What I mainly remember is that I didn't expect to enjoy this book, and I ended up reading it all in one day.
