Shelter: The Beginning by Allyson Young, Peri Elizabeth Scott
4.0
The cover grabbed my attention and the setting drew me in but I really fell for the characters. Addy is tough and resourceful but struggles to form relationships and sets herself apart. Jesse is a sweetheart, I was head over heels for him.
It's a romance book but the background of the post-apocalyptic future where most of humanity has been killed off by flu is given the attention it needs to feel real. There is an interesting story and the author doesn't ignore that in favour of the romance plot. There's a nice balance between the two.
I felt it ended very abruptly, almost in the middle of a scene. It's not an overly long book so I'm not sure why it's been cut off like this in favour of starting a new one. Saying that though, I instantly downloaded the next book to carry on reading!
A very enjoyable read, I liked the romance and the sci-fi sides equally. I'm already on with the next book in the series!
