I love a good mystery/thriller and was looking forward to this one. It lost me about 1/4 of the way through. While it started off strong, the technical language, long details, dull writing style did not keep my attention and while I wandered, it lost me even more.
I loved Casey and Ed and their dynamic but wondered at the choice of them as main characters.
Not bad, but not one of my faves either.
Thank you for the advanced reading copy.

Thank you NET GALLEY for the copy

Not so much a fan of this type but I was surprised. The theme of a "manhunt" was updated and the refugee tie in brought a new freshness to a modern day story one awry. I really think you will like Casey's adventures from the initial bar to the bush this one moves quite well

To The Lions was intense, disturbing and morally challenging. It reminded me of The Most Dangerous game, except the victims don’t know their being hunted. They don’t suspects thing.

This novel explores the trenches of humanity and the disparity of wealth and privilege. From refugees to billionaire CEOs and Members of Parliament, To The Lions delves into the culture that reinforces who is the hunter and who is the huntee.

The writing was choppy at times, which added to the suspense but also sent me back to reread for clarification more than once.
