My
personal Rating- 
There were a few parts in this
book that felt a little rough or needing editing, but overall it was an
interesting story—though a little scary at times because of the realness. It’s
full of faith content and leaves the book slightly opened ended for a sequel.
I found Heather to be a bit
annoying at times with her reactions to events, but most of the time, I
understood her reactions to the things she was facing. I don’t think I could
have handled it better, so I was willing to overlook it. ;)
This wasn’t the best dystopian
book I’ve read, but it definitely had the most Spiritual content which was nice
to see. If a sequel ever releases, I would definitely read it.
See y’all on Friday with a new
review!
*BFCG may (Read the review to see) recommend this book by this
author. It does not mean I recommend all the books by this author.
