Zoomers vs Boomers is a standalone slasher-horror novel by author Sawyer Black. This is the first book I've read by this author. I was drawn in by the chilling blurb promising a deadly battle royale style thriller pitting the older and younger generations against each other. I am a huge fan of stories where people are trapped somewhere fighting for survival against deadly traps or challenges while also trying to decide to work with each other or against (think Saw, Escape Room, Hunger Games, Battle Royale). I found this book didn't live up to my expectations with the idea being better than the execution. I enjoyed the overall story and it had some tense and exciting parts. I found the beginning quite slow (nothing really happened until around 20% in). I feel the book could have benefited from a really suspenseful first chapter or prologue. The book was quite short and I was able to read it in one sitting. The characters were not very likeable and I didn't feel much of a connection to any of them and therefore didn't care if they lived or died. I was more interested in the overall story of who set up the contest and why and kept reading wanting to know more. It wasn't too graphic in content but I'd not recommend for very young readers.

Thank you to Netgalley, the author and publisher for a copy of this book in exchange for a review. Once able to review on Goodreads & Amazon Australia, I will leave a review on there.
