I usually look for books that are steeped in realism, and scifi (especially dystopian fiction) can usually provide a heavy dose. This anthology didn't disappoint even though Armageddon doesn't come until the next book.The author has taken the time to set up her characters with deep and developed portrayals, including a prequel called "Baby." The second book begins the real story. I pray that it won't be long before Baby and Netty return from their shocking and horrific demise. They are clearly with someone special in a" twilight zone," and I miss Netty's fragile determination and love of family. (Better have a Kleenex handy with this one!)The second and third books are full of unassuming back story that unwinds one of the best blind sides I have ever seen. It took talent to devise the complicated cliffhanger as seen through several points of view, all at the correct time. Action and emotions fly.Warning, one of the villains in the third book has some of the sickest habits I have seen. Sick yet told in a very compelling fashion with great writing. Hard to look away. On to book 4!!!
