Waffling between 3 and 3.5 stars. I think having two writers who write in very different genres is forcing me down to the 3.

Interesting concept, the story definitely held my attention, and I was invested in the characters, but I felt like I could clearly see when one author would leave off and the other would pick up the story. It went from an apocalyptic sci-fi to extreme PNR and swung back around a few times. Kinda gave me motion sickness. I didn't feel like the stories wove together very well.

However. I found myself reading this compulsively, sneaking in pages when the bosses were in meetings and staying up late to read just a little more. I think this was a good start to the series and I'm excited to read the next book.

3.5stars. I really liked this book for the most part.

I have come to the conclusion that my new found love for post apocalyptic stories is well earned, but that I don't particularly like it if the story is heavy on romance and fairly explicit sex as is this one. It just gets in he way of the bulk of the story IMO.

I also have a strong aversion to "the female being kidnapped and ending up with the perpetrator" trope which this book starts with, although admittedly Jenna is not Mason's 'victim' for any length of time.

There was so much going on in this book, and the action was real, the other characters were a great addition and the world is really making sense already. A strong start to a series.
