It's been a while since I read a dystopia, post apocalypse book and this one hit the spot. It has an interesting background. The characters were likeable and showed some real growth. Also the dialog and tension was very human and realistic.

I really enjoyed this one overall, and was about to give it four stars – but the ending really irritated me, so three it is!

Very Sweet, Pining, not too slow of a burn
Travis is a wonderful book boyfriend, so strong and dependable, sweet and shy.
Layne is strong and capable but has a softness and neediness that is rare in heroines. I found it super sweet.
The post-apocalyptic world is brutal, but our couple handles it like pros. Only occasionally getting so distracted by each other, they walk straight into danger.
I wish we got some chapters from his perspective. Especially since he falls first!! We only get hints of him pining for us.
Finally, I wish there was more dialogue between the two of them. They are a quiet couple, I totally get that. But we didn't get to see as much of the pining and banter as I would like.

I have a difficult time resisting a post-apocalyptic romance novel. There is just something about the going back to basics state of the world that really appeals to me. Material things that are important in normal times don't mean anything when you are trying to survive a disaster. During these times, groups of people turn on each other and can act like monsters. You don't know who you can trust and what you'll have to do to survive. I love the unpredictability of the situation and the growth the characters will go through.
Last Light by Claire Kent was a great book and it kept me interested until the end. Even though the main character Layne is young, she really stepped up and did a great job in adjusting to the new world. She was strong and independent and I enjoyed getting to know her. However, I also liked that the author was able to capture her innocence in certain situations. You could feel that she was young and had to grow up faster than she would've had to if earth wasn't hit by a disaster. Travis is a good man and wants to protect Layne. I really liked how they met and how they both handled the situation. It was nice seeing these two individuals growing closer together. The pacing was great and I can't continue without saying that the sex scenes were really hot. I really enjoyed this book and I think fans of this genre will as well.

This went from 5 stars to 2 pretty quick. Probably the cringest and worst romance i’ve ever read. This felt like a debut novel even though the author wrote books 5 years before this. I did however enjoy the apocalypse plot line… that was the only thing I enjoyed.
It’s like if Beth and a mix of Carl and Eugene got together when they were a few years older, Carl had a heavy southern accent and had previously been married. Then out of nowhere they decide to have a baby. Weird dynamic right???

at times, sis was more worried about when they could have sex again than surviving
