The After Light Saga

review 1: The main character, Abi is an average teenager. Her circumstances are slightly less than average as she’s been training for years to ascend to the surface after radiation scorched the earth. The Hive, where she lives underground, is a peaceful, artificial place where concrete walls are painted with clouds and sunny days but the occupants haven’t seen the outside world for many, many years. The desperation of the residents to see, smell and hear the outside world is tangible but then they get the news that everything might not be safe.The Hive becomes aware through communication with other Hives that there is a presence above ground. They’re calling them Arvies because of a serum injected into the population in hopes to save them from the radiation. It wasn't properly... more tested and we get slightly altered "28 Days Later" zombie-like creatures.With Abi’s Hive having no choice but to breach the surface, no one is safe and the only world that Abi knows is in jeopardy. Now to cut from the drama that I just spilled, I will say here that Cameo Renae has, without a doubt, the longest make-out scenes in the history of YA. I could see why she makes such an impact on readers though. She has a knack of delving into a character and making them believable and relatable. Abi wasn’t a love-struck girl waiting to be saved (thank goodness!), but she is susceptible to hormones and the need to belong.The book lulled a bit in the middle while there was readjustments to new surroundings but it picked back up at the end where I found myself checking out “Sanctum”, the sequel. No, it wasn’t a cliffhanger. Phew! But, I’ll probably pick up the next book when I can.Despite the teen angst, lovey-dovey parts (this is coming from a jaded adult, mind you. Haha) the story was well done. The pacing, other than a small portion of the middle, was engaging and the main character had me believing in her. She also proved she didn’t need a boy to stand on her own two feet which I really appreciated.
review 2: Okay first off I am not usually one who will one click a zombie novel! Zombies are not my thing at all! But I love renea cameo books! She quickly becoming one of my favourite Indy author.
