Kindle Publication Date: April 13, 2013 Publisher: Streetlights Publishing ASIN: B00CCUHBLC Paperback Publication Date: April 14, 2013 Publisher: Streetlights Publishing ISBN 0989036405 (ISBN13: 9780989036405) What would you do if you lived through the apocalypse? The real fight to survive comes after everyone else is gone. A plague of epic proportion sweeps the globe, leaving less than one percent of the world’s population immune. Among the living is Autumn Winters, the teenage daughter of a famous actress. When Autumn’s parents don’t come home and the city is overtaken by a dangerous faction, she goes into hiding with a small group of underground survivors. They’re led by a mysterious young man who harbors an unearthly secret, and with whom Autumn feels a deep connection. Autumn in the City of Angels is the first novel in a series, followed by Autumn in the Dark Meadows and Autumn in the City of Lights. My Thoughts *I received a free e-copy of this book from the author but this has not affected my review in any way.* Autumn is one of the remaining survivors from the Crimson Fever. As the story unfold she meets Karl and his group The Reconstruction Front, Grey the mysterious boy who saved her, Ben the living Google and his 7-year old sister Rissi, Lydia the girl who has a strange relationship with Grey, Todd the leader of The Underground, and Connie the mother figure whom she became close with. A page-turner read from the very beginning. It didn't fail to give me a bit of adrenaline rush of a book from the chasing scenes with the Reconstruction Front. I enjoyed this book with the interesting characters and the appealing plot. I thought it was all about the plague and how the survivors have a possibility of living a normal life, but I loved how the author put that twist and revelation about some of the characters. This is the first dystopian book with sci-fi in it that I read which made this book more interesting and kept me glued finishing this book in one day. I know this is the first book in the series but the ending was really unexpected! Such a cliffhanger! Another revelation! I can't wait to read the next book! I love this book but why it didn't get 5 stars is because I wish it has more details about those not immune. The symptoms were given but I was expecting more so readers would know how the victims went through until they succumbed to death from the deadly virus. It lacks details also of how the survivors dealt with the dead bodies. A dystopian read mixed with sci-fi, intertwined with action, and a bit of romance and mystery... Definitely a worth checking out read. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ |
