The Lives We Lost
Megan Crewe
First, the virus took Kaelyn’s friends. Then, her family. Now it’s taken away her home.
But she can't look back—the life she once had is gone forever.
A deadly virus has destroyed Kaelyn’s small island community and spread beyond the quarantine. No one is safe. But when Kaelyn finds samples of a vaccine in her father's abandoned lab, she knows there must be someone, somewhere, who can replicate it. As Kaelyn and her friends head to the mainland, they encounter a world beyond recognition. It’s not only the “friendly flu” that’s a killer—there are people who will stop at nothing to get their hands on the vaccine. How much will Kaelyn risk for an unproven cure, when the search could either destroy those she loves or save the human race?
Megan Crewe's second volume in the Fallen World trilogy is an action-packed journey that explores the resilience of friendship, the ache of lost love, and Kaelyn’s enduring hope in the face of the sacrifices she must make to stay alive.
Warning spoilers sweetie, especially if you haven't read the first book The Way We Fall. Also a violence warning or if you are afraid of viruses...well don't read this book or this review.
Damon doesn't think it's a big deal.
I have mixed feelings about this book. Plus another warning, if you want to read this series I would advice waiting until you have the sequel. Super cliffhanger. It was really frustrating.So this book is the sequel to The Way We Fall. There's a deadly virus called "The Friendly Flu" and it was just supposed to be restricted to the island that Kaeyln lives on because of a quarantine. Basically the Friendly Flu is called that because first they start itching uncontrollably, followed by the usual flu symptoms, coughing, sneezing, etc. then come the no holds barred friendliness. They will tell you anything that comes across their mind so it could also be bad too if they hate you. Then comes the hallucinations. Usually they are very violent and bad, but could also be severely friendly too....Then they die. I hate to use this gif of Sherlock but it's accurate.......
Sorry about that.. Anyway this book follows Kae, Gav (insert fangirl scream here), Meredith, Leo and Tessa as they try to get Kae's fathers vaccine to someone that can replicate it. They are later joined by Tobias as he saves them from being caught on the island as soldiers bomb the island. On their way to Toronto they come across a group of artists and other refugees hiding. Tessa and Meredith stay with them because this is getting dangerous. They have people after them that want the vaccine for their own selfish use.
Kae and Gav are in loveeee. Gav is amazing. He is fearless, protective, loving, brave, hot, and well amazing.
Then Gav and Tobias start getting sick. And you don't get to find out if they die or not!!!!!!!! They head to the CDC in Atlanta, Georgia.....and that's where it cliffhangs.....
It made me so angry!
Anyway. I give this book a 4 out of 5 stars.
