It's not you: It's me: Bomb by Sarah Mussi and Unchained by Lynn

Bomb by Sarah Mussi

When Genesis goes on an internet date she is only anxious that this latest guy won't be 'The One'. She's not at all worried about meeting a dodgy bloke or getting in too deep. And when her date appears she texts her best mate, Jackson, to let him know that she thinks this time, he just might be 'The One'. And he texts her back with a huge: I LIKE.
It's the one all right. But not in the way she expects.
For when Genesis wakes up the next day, she can't remember a thing. She can't remember where she is, or how she got there. And she can hardly move because she is strapped into some kind of body armour ... and then a voice sounds in her head: 'Get on to the 37 going north. You are strapped to a vest made entirely of explosives. At the push of one button I can detonate you right where you stand.'
To her horror, Genesis has become an agent of mass destruction. The countdown to detonation begins now..

     I have done this several times on my blog. Books that just don't work for me. I know my reading style pretty well, and I can tell whether I will like the book or not accurately about 80-90% of the time. If I finish a book, then there are aspects of that book that I enjoyed. I never talk about the author in a negative way, I only say what doesn't work for me. Normally if I finish a book, I give it at least 3 stars, meaning that I liked it. 

    I wanted to read Bomb because I haven't heard a premise quite like it, and I wanted to try it out. I think that my disconnect was that it started the main character Genesis in crisis with the bomb on her chest. It had all of the elements to be suspenseful and for the emotions to be there. However, I wanted to know who she was before the incident. It would have helped me to connect with her intensity a little better.

    That isn't to say that the writing is poor or the characters are poorly constructed, it's personal on my end.

My 1st dnf of Armentrout, or even below a 4 I think. The characters jumped around in 3rd person too much and then I just couldn't read on after someone shot himself in head and that is how my dad passed.

a GREAT read

My question to you, my lovely readers:
Would you follow orders from a terrorist if you had a bomb on chest?
