I. AM. BLOWN. AWAY by this book.<\/p>\n<p>I am a big Jade fan but this book is soooo different from anything I have read of hers. I have pretty much read all the books in her library but like 4 so to say I know her writing style wouldn\u2019t be a lie. The anxiety and tension of this book totally sneaks up on you and then BOOM you are a stressed out MESS!! This book is VERY slow but it\u2019s very purposeful in its pace. We, the reader, are in Nina\u2019s mind. We ARE Nina. We get to see her reasons for why she does things and why she feels the way she does. She is a very broken woman because life hasn\u2019t always been easy and she kinda has some \u201cwhat if\u2019s\u201d playing in her head\u2026..alll those what ifs are about our yummy Mr. Savage\u2026\u2026..<\/p>\n<p>Nina and her neighbors end up almost running over Nina\u2019s biggest life regret, Kevin, when trying to get to help Nina\u2019s elderly aunt. The story is the 4 of them making due in a survival situation during the worst possible time to be in the Colorado Mountains. Yes they are homebound essentially and dealing with a few \u201cbiters\u201d but the story is not really about the virus but the people. The story is about what people will and won\u2019t do to survive. How people can change to go with the new world or how they break and go a little insane with the new world. I totally think that the characters in this book are actual representations of what can happen if this situation were to arise. The best of couples can fall apart and strangers can become your ally and trusted companion.<\/p>\n<p>Now to all of you \u201cI am not gonna read it because it has zombies in it\u201d\u2026get over it. Zombies are a minimal part of the story. PEOPLE and SURVIVAL are the point of this story. I can tell you I was messaging Jade completely freaking out at parts and then bawling at parts of the story. This book was a book I was eagerly waiting to read. I will not deny it but to say it wasn\u2019t at all what I thought it would be isn\u2019t a lie. I expected a different kind of a book\u2026more action and fighting but what I got was an amazing look into the souls of people. The heart of what makes us a society of good or not good people. I feel that this book is showcasing a whole new level for Jade\u2019s writing abilities. She can write some hot and naughty rockers we all have no doubt but this book and its main character, Nina, is just so deep and inspiring. It really knocked my socks off\u2026..<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"review-follow\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/about-the-author.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6153\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/about-the-author.png?resize=231%2C55\" alt=\"\" width=\"231\" height=\"55\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cNobody puts Baby in a corner.\u201d While you\u2019re more likely to see Jade headbanging instead of Dirty Dancing, she\u2014like Baby\u2014won\u2019t be put in a corner\u2026or a box. So even though you can\u2019t really stick her books in one genre, you could say she mostly writes steamy Contemporary Romance\u2014and, while you\u2019re at it, you\u2019ll notice in her stories that Jade freaking loves Colorado, hard music, coffee, bad words, and CHOCOLATE!!! And so do her characters.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and there\u2019s always a glimmer of hope\u2026because if life doesn\u2019t have that, what\u2019s the damn point?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is an alternate cover edition for B00VF8CLC6.
