Ratstrike by Jools G. King

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Creepy.

Jools G. King did an excellent job of implementing macabre elements into “Ratstrike.” There were several yucky moments, as well as twists and turns. The dystopian world that Jools G. King created blew me away, and Felix’s introduction made my reading engagement increase. Every true horror fan will appreciate “Ratstrike.” I hated those pesky vermin, as the author’s highly imaginative writing made them tough to deal with.
