Now that we got that out of the way... I know, this is a dark one, but damn Keri. You do me no wrong, ever.
As you guys are aware, [a:Keri Lake|5335601|Keri Lake|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1569412450p2/5335601.jpg] wrote one of my favorite and most loved books of ALL TIMES [b:Master of Salt & Bones|50702585|Master of Salt & Bones|Keri Lake|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1586539951l/50702585._SX50_.jpg|75731363].
I have been reading carbon copies of the same romances over and over again this entire week. Same characters, zero dimension, terrible plots in different packages and covers. I am so so tired of reading unoriginal stories, without complex layers or characters worth caring about.
Don't get wrong, I know a romance as dark as this is not for everyone. I also go through stages where all I want is a fluffy, nonsense romance and there is nothing wrong with that. Juniper is not it though. Just make sure you are in the right state of mind to read Juniper and you should be good.
These are my roots. I grew up playing Resident Evil and I've always felt such a deep connection to those narratives. Not the stupid silly movies they made but the games. The games have some of the most fantastic storytelling you will ever experience and this book met every expectation I had for a zombie apocalypse romance.
Wren is a 19 year old girl who lives on the right side of the wall, where uninfected humans are trying to survive, thrive and rebuild. While on the left side of the wall, the ragers - infected zombies - still roam around somewhere nearby Las Vegas.
She lives with a doctor, who works on the other side of the wall, in a lab called Calico. Where they run experiments on infected humans in the hopes they will find a cure, but the real story behind the lab is a lot darker than you think.
The mystery and the thriller aspects of this book were mind-blowing. A real page-turner. Absolutely breathtaking, you can easily read this in ONE sitting. So many unexpected twists and turns.
One day, Wren notices a breach in the wall. She is curious, adventurous and she really believes real life happens outside of her safe bubble. Until she meets a boy around the same age as her. She spots him through a small gap in the wall, the mute boy on the other side, with numbers tattooed on his neck and she starts calling him Six.
The most brilliant, riveting, unlikely and intense love story.
Wren will now do anything she can to save him from the people who are hunting him down.
Six was clearly inspired by 11 in stranger things, but the world building in this is so unique and heartbreaking that you don't make that connection until the book is over. The Juniper Unraveling world is way more brutal than anything you have ever seen on Stranger Things.
This book will leave you on the edge of your fucking seat. It will make your heart race, swoon and sob.
You won't be able to put this down.
This has possibly a 3/5 spice scale, the sex scenes are intense but soft-spoken and romantic. This is everything I was looking for. Possibly a book I will recommend to a lot of people for years to come.
