Great start to a new series. The ending was well done - I cannot wait for the next book!
Teachers are leaving a conference, heading home when bombs and earthquakes disrupt their plans. A green mist settles, moves on the wind - killing the majority of men. Or else breaking something within them. While women have enhanced abilities - almost like superheroes.
I am not usually a fan of post apocalyptical themes - with the current political stance, this book definitely intrigued me.
The humor and cultural references caught me off guard - very enjoyable and lent humanity to the characters. Though fear and the unknown are rampant, the interaction between the main characters is so well done. Personality clashes, learning acceptance.
Great read.

I really enjoyed this book by P C Cast even though I am not a big fantasy fan. This was a post-apocalyptic world, as several teachers on spring break watched bombs go off and it caused a green fog to cover the area and it struck every capital. This fog killed most people especially all men. Some women it did give special abilities. These female teachers must find their way through dangerous intersections, people, this unknown biological agent to begin to build a new home again. This was the first book in the duology and I can’t wait to find out what happens next.

Thank you @Crookedlanebooks and @letstalkbookspromo for my gifted copy.
