Long Dark Dusk: Australia Book 2 by J.P. Smythe

4.0

"I've really only ever known three places property:
SpoilerAustralia, Pine City and Washington.
. And really they're not so different.
They're all prisons in their own way."


This is a very good book 2 in a series. So book 1 ended with a bit of a cliffhanger. We weren't so sure how things were going to turn out. But Chan is still her kick-butt self in this one. She is stranded again, and barely surviving. She's learning with the new area she's in and trying to figured out how to find those she's lost.

Because not everyone stayed together. Chan has had to make friends with those who should not be and learned to fight harder and faster with a technology she doesn't know. But she's still determined.

I want this review to remain spoiler free, for both one and two so I'm staying vague but I buddy read it and made a lot of notes, so I'll remember for book 3 (and I'm definitely continuing)

but I can say - I'm sad for the one who had to stay behind and take on the birds, I'm sorry for the one that has so many scars and cannot seem to find herself (but I'm so glad she's found a way to be an ally and not an enemy) and I'm not sure the last decision Chan made was a smart one but it was the last option she had left. And who, oh who, was Z? I can't wait to find out!
