evitaveda 's review for:

Vesuvius by Cass Biehn
4.0

“Your walls exist for a reason, I imagine. Start by finding someone willing to make the climb.”

Vesuvius is perfect for anyone who has ever been obsessed with reading about prophecies, volcanoes and the end of the world. 

The second I heard about this book, I knew I had to pick it up. Two queer boys finding each other as a city is about to fall, is just the kind of tragic love I enjoy. The book starts off by throwing you straight into the plot and it just keeps going (until the final few chapters where it all significantly slowed down). 

Loren and Felix were both good characters to follow and their voices and experiences were very different. I liked their scenes together a lot, but I also enjoyed how they interacted with others. This book is dual POV so it was fun to get a glimpse inside both their heads. 

My only critique is that I wanted even more volcano content! Other than that this was a very enjoyable read and I’m excited to see what Cass Biehn creates in the future.
