Famine (The Apocalyptics, #1) by Monica Enderle Pierce
5.0
Monica Pierce blew me away with her Sci-fi story, Girl Under Glass and she's done it again with Famine. Her attention to details and descriptive writing shined in her sophomore novel. While the characters aren't always enjoyable, they remain consistent throughout the story, and exhibit many of characteristics the people of the era shared.
Although there are some end of the world and paranormal themes woven throughout Famine, in the end, it's story about people who are simply trying to stay true to their own moral principles and survive in a changing and dangerous world.
The story is well written. Although there are a few places when the story was a little slow, I never felt the need to set it aside. It's a vivid story that will be enjoyed by anyone who loves to read dark paranormal or historical stories. The pacing and tone reminds me of some of great Western writers such as Louis L'mour.
