This was my first time reading something from this author, and as luck would have it, it is a not a book in the middle of a series. I hate picking up a book, getting into it, and then learning that it is book three in a series. Then you feel compelled to go back and read the other ones before going forward so you aren’t missing any back story. No issue with that here.
I got caught up in the post-apocalyptic, dystopian future rather quickly. Why were these people being rounded up and driven who knows where? Lots to keep you interested. The romance/relationship is secondary to the story and yet extremely pivotal (if that makes any sense – see the book description for more on that one). I recommend this to anyone that likes to take a look into the possible future of this planet and its inhabitants.
Book Description from Bold Stroke Books
Climate change moved faster than anyone anticipated, and the Earth, along with many of its inhabitants, is dying. When a military convoy arrives to pick up Devin Rossi and Karissa Decker, along with dozens of other bewildered people, the two have no idea they are part of a group selected by the government to be transported to a space station preparing for the colonization of another planet. They are members of the Chosen.
On their way to the military base, their convoy is attacked and Devin and Karissa learn the real reason behind their selection. Their attraction grows as they struggle to survive and wrestle with the decision to continue on to the base as part of the Chosen, which means leaving millions of others behind to die.
Will they face an uncertain future together, or will the cost be too high?
