A review by cana
After Sundown by Linda Jones, Linda Howard

2.0

I was intrigued by the premise of this one, but ultimately there was something about the book that just sort of rubbed me the wrong way. The premise should have been exciting but there was almost no tension--I liked that the town pulled together, since that's a pretty realistic disaster response, but there was no real sense of urgency at any point.

This seems to be marketed as a romance, which it really isn't--there's a bit of instalove and I truly hated

the "oh hurrah! Post apocalyptic no medicine pregnancy! Love to casually risk dying in childbirth" bit that seemed to think it was a happily ever after.

I didn't have an awful time reading this book, but it's not something that makes me want to go find either author's backlist and dive in. It's not something I'll remember in a month.
