The main gripe I have with this book is that it never expands on the main characters that were established in the first book. Unfortunately, No Easy Way Out squanders whatever momentum Lorentz created in the first book. Overall, No Safety In Numbers was a solid start to the trilogy providing a tense atmosphere, competent characters, and just enough mystery to keep reading. The fast and frantic pace keeps you entertained and eager to solve the mysterious circumstances of the quarantine. Ryan, Marco, Lexi, and Shay are a bit cookie cutter, but I felt Lorentz established them well enough to serve as the main characters that readers will follow and hopefully, grow to love in the books to come. The atmosphere that Lorentz creates in the first book is tense and mysterious as the teens try to figure out what is going on and survive the ongoing chaos, a hunger games-esque setting if you will. No Safety In Numbers provided a solid start to the trilogy and unfortunately, the best book in my opinion. The trilogy focuses on four teens trapped in a mall as a chemical bomb forces the government to quarantine the shoppers. I won’t review the books on great detail, but enough for you to get a good gist of them. I have decided to review the entire No Safety In Numbers trilogy in one post.
