Reread/listen time! 10.11.21
Huge thank you to Imogen Keeper for the audiobook! This was my second time with this story and I found even more to love listening to William Travino and Imogen voicing these characters. This is one of my very favorite post apocalyptic series. Highly recommend in both book and audiobook formats.

4.6.21
Reading this book was such a pleasure! I was expecting the usual post-apocalypse story but this one took it up a notch. The amount of love between the couple at the start of the story was incredibly touching and melted my heart.
Auden and Beast are such a sweet addition to the story. They help our MC's to grow emotionally and in Frankie’s case, realize the inner strength she carries. Yorke is simply one of the most compassionate male leads I’ve read in a long time.
Ends on a cliffhanger so have that second book queued up and ready to go!

Anyone who says you can’t belong to another human has never had this, and I feel sorry for them. You can belong to someone.The characters in this story are real, flawed, and all struggling to survive the new world they live in. The weaving of this book is build on these people, I think that's why it felt more realistic than most books of this genre. There was plenty of horror, but it was man-made rather than zombies...and that is honestly more terrifying.
Auden and Beast are such a sweet addition to the story. They help our MC's to grow emotionally and in Frankie’s case, realize the inner strength she carries. Yorke is simply one of the most compassionate male leads I’ve read in a long time.

When I find something I know I'm going to fall in love with, I don't know why but I can't get myself to start reading it immediately and I always end up saving it for the right time. Anyways I have a feeling that this series is going to be the death of me.

I have a feeling you'll enjoy them as much as I do...plus book 4 should be released soon!

YES! I got to sob at the book and then far harder at the audiobook version, lol! Imogen owes us tissues.
Okay, I'm definitely checking this one out. Thank you, Rain!

Yup, a Costco size box!

I am not listening to any at the moment so I will read it on paper, but because I know we liked similar books I trust you this one will be good as well :)
I fall in love with this genre a little bit more every day. Can't wait to start this series since I'm sure if you like it I'll probably like it too!

Is this a romance? I love this genre but I want a romance mixed in.

Thank you. I didn't want to get started on this one if a romance wasn't in the plans.
I understand that completely!
