Book cover

Juggernaut by Alice Campbell is a thrilling and intense novel that grabs the reader's attention from the very first page. Set in a post-apocalyptic world, this fast-paced story takes us on a suspenseful journey filled with action, mystery, and unexpected twists.

The protagonist, Sarah, is a resilient and determined young woman who finds herself in the midst of chaos when society collapses. As she navigates through a world shattered by a catastrophic event, she must confront her deepest fears and fight for her survival.

One of the strongest aspects of the book is Campbell's ability to build a unique and vividly described world.

However, some readers might find the pacing a bit uneven at times. While the majority of the story propels forward at breakneck speed, there are instances where the plot slows down, focusing more on introspection than action. Although these slower moments provide necessary emotional depth, they could have been better integrated into the overall flow of the narrative.

Overall, Juggernaut is a captivating and gripping read that will keep readers hooked until the very end. Campbell's vivid world-building, well-developed characters, and relentless pace make this novel a must-read for fans of dystopian fiction.
