In the After by Demitria Lunetta
5.0

In the After by Demitria Lunetta follows Amy who is watching television when they attack. The first section of the book follows Amy living on her own, protecting herself and the small child she finds from the horrific creatures outside, maintaining total silence at all times. The two then move into a perfect community that quickly is shown to not be as perfect as it appears.

I really enjoyed this book and I've been in a mood to hate everything lately. It was the perfect combination of adventure and terror combined with a utopia/dystopia with a minor mystery throughout. I rushed through the book, finishing quickly even though it was very long. The ending was solid enough to satisfy me but enough to keep me wondering about the sequel.

Appropriateness: This book is fairly violent and has a lot of survival scenes where you are worried about the main character's safety. There's no real romance to turn off readers who hate romance. I'd recommend this book to readers 13+
