Thank you so much to the publisher, Tor Nightfire, for providing me with a copy to read and review.NOTE: This article previously had multiple details about ‘Manhunt’ that were incorrect. It’s a ride worth being a little uncomfortable for. It’s violent, erotic, thought-provoking, visceral…did I mention erotic? I feel like I need to take a recovery day to get over it. Overall, this was such an addicting story. In particular, as the final showdown approached, a few times I lost track of whose perspective I was reading from. The perspectives were shifting so rapidly, it was sometimes hard to follow. Towards the end, it did get chaotic for me. I wish I had gotten to know each of them a little bit more, but I understand you can only make stories so long. That was very creative.Īdditionally, the characters were well done. I loved the idea behind the virus, how it struck men and how society tried to rearrange itself after. The post-apocalyptic setting was so well done.
It is balls to the wall, pardon the pun, the entire way through. It’s not a super gore-filled scene followed by 50-pages of nonsense. I haven’t read something this bloody, gorey, toe-curling, gag-inducing, addicting, erotic and uncomfortable, well…ever.
It ain’t easy and a lot of blood, guts and various other bodily fluids get shed along the way.
We follow our quad as they move from one place to another, trying to find a safe situation for themselves. Over the course of the first part of the story, Fran and Beth join up with a trans man named, Robbie, and their long-time friend, a fertility doctor named, Indi.īasically, as you can imagine, living situations in this world are highly unstable. There are not just the infected men they have to deal with, but also bands of TERFs scouting certain areas, as well as other general apocalypse survivors. For reasons I won’t go into here, they kill the infected men and harvest certain parts of them.Īny time they are out hunting they are in terrible danger. We follow two best friends, Beth and Fran, trans women, trying to survive in New England. This is like an unrated version of The Walking Dead, but with trans and other queer main characters.īasically this story takes place in a post-apocalyptic world where a virus has turned the entire male population into horrifying creatures like walkers. Manhunt is like being punched in the face repeatedly and enjoying it. While it technically fits into genres that I have read, it’s like nothing else. Honestly, I don’t even know how to begin going about reviewing this book.
