Overall, I really enjoyed this book. It’s dark, intense and gritty. Definitely and eye-opener to what may happen in the future. The harsh realities of their everyday lives were brutal. All the emotions and struggles all the characters went through were very intense and surreal. The evolution between Mason and Emily relationship from strangers to eventual partners was completely believable. And while it was easy to believe that women were subjugated and forced to eventually barter their bodies for sex to survive, I just couldn’t wrap my brain around all the sex. That one thing kept me from being able to completely lose myself in the story. Seems to me when you’re on the run for your life on top of being half-starved and tired, sex would be the last thing on your mind.This is my second post-apocalyptic story and I’m still undecided if it is a genre I like. However, if futuristic novels are your cup of tea, especially if they contain lots of sex, then I highly recommend read this series. The final outcome should be pretty good.I received this book from JeepDiva for the express purposes of an honest review. The opinions and rating of this review are solely mine and in no way was I compensated.Stars – 3, Flames - 4
