Shelter: The Beginning by Allyson Young, Peri Elizabeth Scott

4.0

I read a lot of post apocalyptic fiction and some romance, so this book was a good pick for me. The story takes place a few years after a horrible disease killed most of the human population. A group of people have collected and built themselves a small but functioning society, but are threatened by other groups that are not so friendly. Not surprisingly, there’s some good action int this book.

The story begins when a new group of survivors approaches the camp. A romance starts to bloom between Addy, a current resident and newcomer Jesse. Things moved along faster than I expected between them, but I did like the pairing of these two characters. They are both strong in their own ways to begin with, and brought out even more personality together.

The book was a quick read and I get the feeling that the next book will pick up where this one left off. I can’t wait to jump into the next book and see where things go next!

I received a free ARC copy of this book through Voracious Readers Only, but my review was completely voluntary.
