Having come across this book by chance the description was enough to convince me to buy it. My interest and expectations were not disappointed as I was drawn into the dark and dangerous world that Shep and Antigone (the two main characters) are forced to inhabit. As humans our most basic instinct is to survive and I feel this book showcases that brilliantly.Throughout the tale, danger and despair is never far away which is down to the author who manages to convey the bleakness of this post-apocalyptic world perfectly. There are twists and turns aplenty making sure that the reader is always kept on the edge of their seat. The love that the two characters share symbolizes the hope that humans carry when faced with even the worst of disasters.Overall this fast paced story had me hooked and I feel it fully justifies my five star rating. I look forward to enjoying more pieces of work from this author in the future.
