After The Ending
by Lindsey Fairleigh
It seems I returned to my world ending fetish but this one doesn't have any vampires, or zombies, which is refreshing. Broken into alternating stories about best friends Zoe and Dani who are separated by life and then by a world ending virus. They survived the virus but finding each other is not going to be easy. As each girl travels her own path to reach each other they find themselves with some unlikely allies and some unlikely abilities.
Since this is only book one I can say that this series is off to a very good start. While I did have some trouble in the beginning following whose story I was actually reading, Dani or Zoe's, I eventually got into the flow things. The way the world devolves reminds me a bit of the tv show Revolution but without the lights being out. With so few people surviving the world starts to crumble, tech stops functioning as well and people need to start relying more on survival skills rather than 20th century technology and convenience.
The characters were well developed, the situations didn't seem forced and it was easy to like different characters and really cheer them on or want them to be careful in certain situations. It was nice to be so invested. There are so many different story lines that were left hanging that I'm hoping book 2 will delve into but I don't want to put any spoilers out there so I'm going to keep them to myself. This was a great read and left me wanting more immediately.
