A review by spellboundbybooks
After Sundown by Linda Jones, Linda Howard
5.0
Ms. Howard is another auto-buy author for me, and this story she has co-wrote with Linda Jones engrossed me from the first page. You would think that the story line of catastrophe and panic striking the globe would be a little too close to home right now, but it was kind of cathartic to read and gave me hope and reassurance for the future.
In this scenario, a Coronal Mass Ejection is about to hit and knock out power grids worldwide for at least a year. Queue panic, chaos and a battle for survival within a small Tennessee community. The authors wove the story with plenty of tension and suspense that had me absorbed and on the edge of my seat throughout.
I've gotten so accustomed to opposites attracting in romances, but it was actually nice to read about two people with similar natures falling for each other. Both are introverted and solitary for different reasons which I totally identified with, being the same way myself. I also liked how 'quiet' the romance was in the middle of everything that is happening.
Along with the suspense and romance, there was the sense of hope from watching people come together to help each other through the hard times. Don't get me wrong, not everything in the town is perfect, but there was a wonderful sense of community as the story went on. Given current events and the plot, I'm surprised at how much I loved this story, although I really shouldn't be considering the authors!
