Captives by Shaun Hutson ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Wow, what a ride! Shaun Hutson does what he does best, delivers a dark, twisted, and totally gripping story. Captives is packed with gritty action, sinister characters, and moments where I literally had to pause and say, “Wait, did that just happen?!”

The story kicks off with an eerie vibe that just snowballs into full-blown chaos. Without giving away too much, let’s just say the opening scene sets the tone perfectly. 👀 Hutson doesn’t pull any punches, and the body count? HIGH.

The intertwining plots between a brutal gang war and a disturbing pharmaceutical conspiracy were genius. And can we talk about the moment [spoiler alert] when that “medical breakthrough” turns out to be way more horrific than anyone expected? Those descriptions of the “side effects” were straight out of a nightmare. 

😱 Also, the fate of poor Carrie... devastating but oh-so-Hutson.

I loved how unapologetically dark this book was, but I’ll admit, it’s not for the faint of heart. The pacing was relentless, and while it might have been a bit too much carnage for some readers, I couldn’t look away. 😅

If you’re into gritty horror that doesn’t shy away from gore, you NEED this book on your shelf. Just be ready for a few sleepless nights.
