It’s impossible to focus on college biology when your family believes doomsday is imminent and the government is out to get you.
All Pete Wilson’s ever wanted is to become a veterinarian, but those dreams are going up in flames. Commuting to an urban college and helping his parents with their apocalyptic prepper crap is more than he can handle.
Worse, Pete’s asshole neighbor is stirring up trouble, his family’s stockpile has been destroyed and farm animals are turning up dead.
Lindsey Linger is the tomboy sister of his best friend. Now a sexy spitfire, she and Pete are liable to set the barn ablaze as their romance finally heats up. But she’s hiding a terrible secret, and rural life isn’t all bonfires and hayloft romps. That becomes clear one icy winter night when the survival of everyone Pete loves hangs in the balance.
Can Pete be the hero they need, or will this be the end of the world as he knows it?

Pete has graduated high school and is starting out college while still living at home working on the farm. His parents are extremists who think a civil war is coming and that they need to be prepared and self sufficient. Life is hard and growing up is harder, learning about the real world and what he's never seen even though it was right in front of him is making things tough but he's trying. With conspiracies, drugs, and even a few rolls in the hay he's just trying to get through life the best he can, for himself and his family.
Interesting story and told solely from a male POV. It's about growing up and making the tough choices as an adult and living with the consequences. It's was fun watching Pete try and make his way through everything and learn about life and what's really important. It's not our normal type of read, but it was fun none the less and of course there's still a bit of romance in there to help balance it out.
Sounds really good, great giveaway!
