Devolution tells a story from the point of view of Kate, a woman who is writing to her psychologist through diary entries about her new life in a remote residential area. The village is completely self contained, food is delivered by drones and life is just PERFECT. That is until there is a volcano eruption leaving the city below completely cut off with hundreds of people evacuated. Oh and there are also unknown creatures killing the local wildlife and coming for the residents.

I'm a huge fan of World War Z (we won't talk about the film) so I had to read this book. I don't believe in Big Foot at all but this was an interesting story of survival from both sides. Kate was a likeable character who had to grow quickly. She lived up to the challenge and it was enjoyable to watch. Alongside Kate's journal entries there were newspaper articles and interviews with park rangers and scientists.

It doesn't hit the same high as WWZ but it's still a good read. I hope Max Brooks does another historical style novel like WWZ because I need some more of that in my life.

This was an e-ARC given to me by Netgalley.
