I read these individually, as they were released. Below, I have copied my reviews of some of them.I won't recap the story, as it's been done in other reviews. I will say that Seffy annoyed me, and endeared herself to me. The rest of the cast isn't fleshed out enough for me to form much of an attachment to them.( I hope we get to know them better in the sequels.) The story kept me interested and really wanting to know what happened. I STILL want to know what happened. What the heck happened??? How did ONLY these people land 26 years ago in their home state? Why have they reinvented themselves and tried so hard to forget their origins? How did this 'blast' come about? Who, what, why, where????? And what's up with the zombies? Are they everywhere or just in the immediate vicinity of our heroes???I will positively read the next installment in this series.This fast paced, wild ride had me hook, line, and sinker! Some questions were answered, but more were raised. Who sent the box of dented cans? What the heck is up with Eugene and that cat? Is Fenn ever going to get his head out of his butt? Who killed that guard? What's up with the fresh blood in the disco when they wake up? Oh, I have more, but you get the picture. I am in love with this series and I will be on the edge of my seat waiting (impatiently) for the next installment!!This is the best one so far!! I keep thinking "There's no way she can top this" and Bella Street keeps surprising me with every new issue!!! The characters have been fleshed out so much that I feel like I know them personally. I don't want to write any spoilers here so I'll just say that the action, drama, mystery, time travel, love story, zombies, werewolves, prophetic dreaming, Christmas party, experimental medicine, and the 'pink hairnet of time' are all woven together with superb wit and style.I love this series!! I will be waiting on the edge of my seat for her next release.I don't know where to begin. What a wonderfully fun journey Ms. Street has taken us on. The emotional blast in this last book was heart-wrenching - the most intense of the whole series for me. For the first time, I felt like I wanted to jump in and take care of Seffie and try to comfort her. Hey, I'm a mom, it's what I do :-) And even through her loss, and the shocking things she learned regarding Fenn, Fiona, and even her friend, Olga, she was able to find the strength NOT to turn back to Gareth and start that unhealthy relationship back up again. A Thorazine lobotomy, my a%#! I also loved, loved, loved how she decided to take it to Verity. Literally. Second chances make me happy. Or, third, fourth, or whatever number it takes.I don't know how Bella Street ended up with all of this inside of her, but I'm sure glad she wrote it all out and shared it with us! Everyone should read this. I, myself, will read anything and everything she writes!!! Thank you, Bella. You rock :-)
