This is a post-apocalypse dystopian story with some sci-fi, paranormal and vampirism thrown in there. Abel is a strong FMC who is scrappy and witty. She’s going to fight her way out or die trying. Like my girl is a warrior! After a series of unfortunate events, she meets Kane. She lives by certain rules that keep getting amended the longer she’s in his presence. Kane has honestly been protective from the start. Mikey is not a good person. He definitely sexually assaulted her then tried to blame her in addition to all his faults. This book is gritty. Some things are hard to read and make no mistake there’s no shortage of having to survive when gangs, Others and scavengers are out in the population. I think one of the main lessons learned is that it’s okay to have hope. This book would’ve been a 4 for me if not for the grammar mistakes. Around 90% the book felt a little dragged out.
How they trying to be stealthy and they’re slamming doors and calling out names? They do a lot of yelling for people not trying to be found. I also don’t understand why Jack looked like Kane.
More grammatical errors as the story progressed.
