Juniper Unraveling
by Julie Belfield, Keri Lake
Wow was this story DARK. I will admit I’m not a fan of apocalyptic stories, but I’ve been in a dark romance kick and wanted to give this one a shot after reading Master of Salt and Bones.
This book has two POVs, following two girls, Dani and Wren. Dani is taken by soldiers disguised as a boy in order to survive and is taken to this basically like a science camp where they do experiments on boys trying to find the cure of the disease that was unleashed on the world, at least that’s what they want us to think that’s going on. Dani becomes the assistant of a scientist there, and let’s just say she learns a lot there and all she wants to do is save her brother little Abel. The other POV follows Wren who lives with her father in a safe community away from the Ragers who meets a boy from outside the wall who is mute and she calls Six. As she gets to know him, she slowly begins to learn about him, what he has gone through, and more about her father.
The way this story came together was very well done. I had my suspicions from the beginning and I did figure it out, but it was so well done. The story about these two girls and Six is utterly heart wrenching and just awful. I mean the positions they’re in learning how to survive no matter what, especially if it means saving those you love and care about. It was just sad, dark, and emotional.
The romance was very cute, and I loved the family aspect in this book too. It was a very dark book, and so I had to take a break for a bit and read something else after, but I will say if you love dark romances and apocalyptic stories, then you’ll love this one!
