The Warning by Kristy Acevedo
3.0
Alexandra is stuck between living in the moment and what comes next. She’s barely coping and only with the help of her Ativan. That is until her train stops unexpectedly on the way home from a concert with her boyfriend. When a mysterious doorway emerges next to the track, what appears to be a human from the future shares a sinister warning – the world is ending. The holograms claim to offer safety to anyone willing to walk through them. With time counting down, will Alex go through?
I have a love-hate relationship with this book. I loved that the main character has anxiety, but I felt for a YA book this one was over the top. I’m not saying we need to sugar coat things but on the first page the MC is talking about dismembering a baby. That’s a bit much for me. If you get past the first page and keep reading, you will get some reprieve from the vividness of the attacks, but they are still present. I did enjoy the concept of this book, and dystopian is one of my favorite sci-fi subgenres. I was very happy that the copy I received included an excerpt into the next book of this duology because it ended on a big cliffhanger. Reading the next little bit of the second book made it end on a pleasant note for me.
This book is out June 6th though it was previously published under the title Consider. The second book in this duology is due out later this year.
