Review: Great book, great characters
Rating: 5 out of 5

This book starts out with describing a relatively normal evening for three roommates and two of their girlfriends.  I am not often interested in the character development of stories, being more of a plot-girl, but the six characters (above five plus one very cool dog) definitely captured my attention.  I found them both intriguing and believable.  I actually cared about what would happen to them.I also really enjoyed the plot of this story.  That being said, the one issue I have with this book is that one of the characters knows just a little to much about all of the right things.  I read a lot of shtf books, and this character seems to be a staple.  He wasn't too distracting, but at times it was, eye roll, they'll be fine, because he has such good instincts and training that he's almost psychic.  Maybe this person does exist. I don't think I know him or her, but perhaps a catastrophe has to occur for me to flesh him out.Anyway, I would definitely recommend this book.  The story itself has been a really original take on an interesting premise.  I care about what is going to happen to the characters, and I am definitely buying the second book.
