Book of the Damned: A-E5L1-01-00 by V.E.S. Pullen
5.0
Maybe Make Some Preparations
I have a weird obsession with books/films/programmes about humanity being nearly wiped out for one reason (superflu) or another (zombie outbreak) and the remaining humans reforming society. The Stand by Stephen King was my favourite book in high school. I must have read it 20 times and then that film The Day After Tomorrow with Jake Gyllenhaal became an obsession. Divergent, The Hunger Games, The Walking Dead, Doomsday Preppers...so, this series fits perfectly into my menagerie of doom and gloom.
There's not really a way to describe the book without giving away the plot, but in a world ravaged by a nasty virus, there's a deeper struggle than the one for survival and it's about money and power. Oh that soggy old biscuit? Well, yeah. Whomever controls the vaccine holds the power and it's a mess. Azzie and her group of friends are caught in the middle.
This book takes 2020 and spins it into a darker tale with more loss of life and darker politics. It's a warning, but maybe I'm just being dramatic lol. If you like thinking about the end of days (hey, I was raised to prepare for this shit), then I know you'll love this series.
