Mutated Files: Case One follows eighteen-year-old Carol Tyson as she searches for her missing father and stumbles into a grim, post-apocalyptic future full of mutated creatures, hidden agendas, and moral dilemmas. While the premise is high-stakes and action-packed, what really drives the story is Carol’s emotional resilience and her relationships with those she meets along the way.
Rachel E. Croxton keeps the pacing tight and the atmosphere tense, but she also makes room for personal moments—snippets of humor, connection, and reflection—that make the bleak world feel human. The dystopian setting is vivid without being overwhelming, and the emotional depth grounds the action, turning a familiar survival tale into something more thoughtful.
The story isn’t just about facing monsters or escaping danger—it’s also about figuring out who you are when everything else falls apart. Carol’s growth feels believable, and her journey has just enough twists to keep readers invested without leaning on clichés.
This book may not click with readers who prefer slower, more grounded narratives or aren’t into dystopian fiction. But for those who enjoy fast-paced, character-driven stories with an emotional core, it delivers. Think The Hunger Games or Divergent, but with a bit more psychological nuance.
At its core, Mutated Files is about holding onto hope in a world that feels broken—and sometimes that’s exactly the kind of story we need.
