Following the lock-down and shortages during COVID, this book takes the aftermath down a different path that forces mankind to make the decision to either help one another or take what they need by force.

Reece was able to escape the cities before things got bad and he found a place that he could live. As more and more of the modern amenities were lost, he found a true community. This group faces danger and choices, but through it all, they help each other. That is a major them in the book; choosing to help in whatever way you can so that others can benefit. Many characters in the story put aside personal comfort, and even safety, so that others get what they need.

Another theme that is prevalent is faith. Trusting others is something that Reece comes to grips with, but there is also faith that God is in control no matter what happens. It is done in a gentle way that won’t turn people off from reading the book.

There is a big twist at the end of the story that I did not see coming, but makes me want to find out what happens next in the series.

I was given a free copy of the eBook from the author via Voracious Readers Only in exchange for an honest review.
