Orion's Curse
by Amy Bartelloni
It's been two months since the blowout with President Vise.
The Valley is rebuilding and elections have been planned, but things are about to change when a new group of refugees arrives seeking the cure. They've brought with them someone Anyon never thought he'd see again, but he's not the only one who's surprised.
While Anyon sorts out the new arrivals, Malachi's loyalty will be tested when Dax and Raven, old friends from his time on the streets, show up baring secrets he's tried hard to keep hidden. He's never shared that part of his past with anyone, and finds himself going along with Dax to prevent anyone, especially Sera, from learning what they did on the streets to survive.
But how far will he go to keep his past hidden?
Things take a turn for the worst when Dax and Raven pit Malachi against his friends. Will Sera's love be enough to prevent him from sliding back into his dark past, a past that's more brutal than even she can imagine?

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Just as a bit of a forward I did not read book one prior to reading this one, and while there was some times a back story would've made things easier to understand, overall this book does well as a standalone.
Malachi, Sera, Anyon, and Jade are trying to help rebuild a community that has been ravaged by the war with the former president. All they want it to build a life and live in peace, but there's always someone who's out to get you and ruin everything. This time it's someone from Malachi's past.
As they have been working towards finishing the hospital before winter it's been allot of long days and they don't get any free time. When someone comes into the camp wanting to throw a big party and turn everyone against them. Will the inhabitants realize these newcomers would ruin everything or will they realize Anyon and the others are their best chance for survival.
This is a post apocalyptic story about surviving after everything has gone wrong. It's about this specific group and their struggles to survive, and knowing when it trust someone and when not to.
