“The Passengers” by John Marrs is a scream, I promise!
Eight driverless cars. Eight passengers, all of whom have a secret and a specific plan for that morning. None arrive at their intended destination.
There is a Hacker who knows everything about everyone and he has decided to take control. There are five members of the jury whose sole purpose is to decide who lives and who dies.
The fear is real my friends. “The Passengers” will scare you. Yea, “The Jetsons” made the idea of a futuristic car look cute, “The Passengers,” not so much.
What this is, is a thrilling ride down the fast lane, going 100 mph. Can you say EEK?!
This is the 3rd novel I’ve read by John Marrs and it is definitely my favorite so far. It’s crazy, insane and scary to boot. I had high hopes for a five star read but had to dock it one star for the ending, which left a little to be desired. I highly recommend this one for thriller fans as it contains a very unique premise which is sure to entertain.
This was a buddy read with Ms. Kaceey! We really enjoyed discussing the premise of this one and think all of you will too.
Thank you to Elisha at Penguin Publishing Group, Edelweiss, and John Marrs for an arc of this novel in exchange for an arc.
Published on Edelweiss and Goodreads on 7.6.19.
Will be published on Amazon on 8.27.19

Great review, Susanne! I'm gonna have to try this one out; especially after loving The One.
