If the story was supposed to confuse the reader, like Lake, then it was well written. Never could tell when she was in the Sim, or not. I had a feeling she was stuck, hiding...hiding from what, leaves me to wonder. ( ) This was my first Syfy book with a VR theme. I enjoyed this story it kept me engaged and entertained. The author did a good job with the world-building. Through the use of vivid imagery, the details came to life for me. The plot was intriguing, great concepts. I do wish they had been fleshed out a bit more, there was a lot left off the table. It doesn't detract from the story, I just think that there was untapped potential. The story was well written and the flow is sound. I would recommend it to anyone who likes post-apocalyptic stories but wants something a little less intense than the norm. Also, I really liked the cover. no reviews | add a review

HTML: Strange Exit is Parker Peevyhouse's next suspenseful, near-future, stand-alone thriller, perfect for fans of Kass Morgan's The 100 and Patrick Ness's More Than This Seventeen-year-old Lake spends her days searching a strange, post-apocalyptic landscape for people who have forgotten one very important thing: this isn't reality. Everyone she meets is a passenger aboard a ship that's been orbiting Earth since a nuclear event. The simulation that was supposed to prepare them all for life after the apocalypse has trapped their minds in a shared virtual reality and their bodies in stasis chambers. No one can get off the ship until all of the passengers are out of the sim, and no one can get out of the sim unless they believe it's a simulation. It's up to Lake to help them remember. When Lake reveals the truth to a fellow passenger, seventeen-year-old Taren, he joins her mission to find everyone, persuade them that they've forgotten reality, and wake them up. But time's running out before the simulation completely deconstructs, and soon Taren's deciding who's worth saving and who must be sacrificed for the greater good. Now, Lake has no choice but to pit herself against Taren in a race to find the secret heart of the sim, where something waits that will either save them or destroy them all.
