Oh where do I begin with this book? *sigh* This book had soooooo much potential and just fell flat for me somewhere in the half way mark. The premise of a post-Apocalyptic NYC drew me right in. I love stuff like that. Trying to survive and make something out of nothing in a new world just interests me, if done right...I gotta say, unfortunately, this book just didn't.The main characters, Mason and Emily meet after Emily goes on the run from the brutal life she is living in at a FEMA camp setup in Grand Central Station. All the single woman there are force to use their bodies in order to secure food for themselves to stay alive. After finally escaping the hellhole for good and promise of a better life outside the station. Mason swears above all to protect Emily and keep her safe.Mason and Emily, I felt, really had no deep connection. I really thought they were pieces drift wood. The only time I felt they connected the best was when they were having sex! Great sex scenes between the two I have to say. And I have to say Ms. Evers popped my cherry with this book. Read my first m/f/m scene and oh my god was it HOTTTT! Kudos to her! Her sex scenes are vivid and tantalizing. Love when an author makes you feel those kind of scenes.I really did want to like this book and in some ways I do. Maybe if their was more conflict as they set out to find their little piece of heaven. I don't know. Maybe I just ask for too much I guess in books. I hope in the next book we can get more of Mason and Emily and their life outside of Grand Central. And a true view of what they are all about. What I did like was how the author went back and forth between M & E to Jenna, Emily's friend, who's still at the tracks. I like Jenna. And the way it ended, it looks like we will see how she is fairing too.Good promise just fell a lot for me. With that said I'm giving it 2.5 stars out of 5.
