Anyone?

by Angela Scott

Young Adult, Apocalyptic, Survival, Horror

The end of the world? That’s the stuff of Hollywood blockbusters and deep philosophical exercises in school. No need to sweat it. So when sixteen-year-old Tess’s doomsday-dad builds a bomb shelter in their suburban backyard, everyone thinks he’s gone crazy….

…Until fire rains down from the sky, sinking whole cities into colossal craters and setting much of the world ablaze.

Tess’s dad gives her a few short minutes to gather her emergency bag and her freaked-out kitten, then leads her outside and into the underground shelter. Terrified, the last thing she expects is for him to leave her there all alone, but he has no choice—he must find her missing brother.

Before leaving, he makes Tess promise to keep the hatch door shut, not to open it for anyone but him, and to stay put until he returns.

But he forgot to tell her one thing: What is she supposed to do if he never comes back?

Oh this is a tough one to write a review for without giving anything away. Simply put the book sucked me in right from the beginning and captured me throughout with it's unique storyline.

Tess is a teenager who saw the start of allot of craziness before being shoved into a bunker by her dad with his only words being don't open the door for anyone but me. But after so much time she is forced out and must discover what it was that happened and find her family, as well as a way to survive.

Like I said she's a teenager so at times when you might think WTF what are you doing??? You have to remember just who our heroine is and that's she is still a bit young and naive. For what has happened to her she might think she's weak but her will to keep going is strong.

I enjoyed going on the journey with Tess as she tried to understand what had happened and her feelings throughout, especially when it came to our main male character. And as for Cole...well I'm hoping we'll figure him out eventually.
