"because that was how you lived. You didn't wait to be pulled into some perfect world, you learned to breathe in the world you had."

Disappointed. I had hoped I'd have a little peak into the world after Kaleyn and Leo headed back home - and we did get that...it just didn't really add anything. I felt we got very little.

The first story, I really felt like we don't know anything more about Tessa than we'd already guessed
Drew was, by far, my favorite part.
Leo and Kaelyn...somehow their story was both boring and completely odd.

a great series. I am glad I gave this last one a try.… (more)

book 2 in Kaelyn's story about being quarantined on an island after a plague ravages the island people.

I'm struggling with this series. it's glossing over some of the tougher stuff that I think this group would be going through. It's a little too easy for a group of teens to accomplish these things - things I don't believe they could. But on the other hand, they are having to make some tough choices and things are bleak. For a YA book, it's good that it doesn't deal with too much at once (and make this a completely depressing read) but it shouldn't make it seems easy either.

I'll read the next one. I'm curious to see how this series ends.… (more)

This is an amazing conclusion to this series. It's fast paced and opens with the first chapter being a complete shock.

and it just gets more daring, dark and shocking from there. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. Once I was done with Part II, I wasn't at all sure what was happening anymore.

This is a world come undone. And Kaelyn, Tobias, Anika, Justin and Leo are just trying to survive. Nothing is for sure except this vaccine and it's everything to this world that it start being made into more vaccine so it can be passed out, treated and this disease can be forced out.

Their final journey and destination, their final sacrifices and their hope and love. It's an adventure I'm glad I read.… (more)

I really hope this isn't the way we fall. But it's just so......possible.

We spend this book through the eyes of a young girl named Kaelyn. And she's writing in a journal - so this is the style of writing - to her best friend Leo. But they fought just before he left, and they haven't spoken since. And she misses him.

But it's in the journal entries, that we notice Kaelyn start to tell Leo what's going on on the island. A friend's strange dad saying crazy things and scratching uncontrollably. Then the friend, coughing and sneezing and itching....and then it really begins.

Although I found this pretty mellow in the world of apocalypse books, I like that about it. It's a lot to take in, the fall of mankind, and I like that it was more mellow than it could be. The horrors and frightening moments weren't always caught at first by Kaelyn and instead the reader is left with this sense of doom as each new scary moment unravels.

I will definitely read the rest of the series.… (more)
