The Boy on the Bridge

I received a free copy of this book courtesy of the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I haven't read “Girl With All the Gifts,” and I am only vaguely aware that there is a movie for it. However, I found that “The Boy on the Bridge” can stand alone just fine. It is technically a prequel, but the way that it is written makes it very accessible to readers not familiar with the series. I enjoy Carey's writing style quite a bit being a big fan of Lucifer and Hellblazer and again he doesn't disappoint. This book could easily fall into the realm of mindless horror, but it doesn't. It has heart and I care about the characters. I definitely recommend.
