review 1: I just finished this last night and I enjoyed it immensely. I liked the character of Morgan very much - he would be the type of person most likely to survive this kind of apocalyptic disaster. Humankind being as it is, unfortunately, there would be more Mike's around than there was in the book - that's just us pesky humans for you and this type of disaster would bring them out of the woodwork big time. That was the one teeny, tiny, niggling thing for me, apart from him and his motley crew everyone else was nice and I'm not so sure that would be the case. I would like to think it would be but somehow I don't think it would. As Tori, Morgan and the others rode off into the snow it would be great to follow what happened next. I can see them getting into all kinds of scrapes -... more with Morgan there to get them out of them and of course follow what could turn into a great romance and love story between Morgan and Tori - which we only got a glimpse of. The smoulder was there - would like to see the fire. I liked the fact that Tori wasn't all 'glammed up' and her character came across as being very believable and likeable as did the other characters.She struggled to 'forage' for food and other things and I could almost feel the cold as she snuggled in her bed with layers of clothing on. There were some fight scenes with Morgan and I enjoyed those as they came across as being all too real. As did her having to escape Hong and warn Morgan of danger - won't put a spoiler in here - but the outcome was not one she had ever thought possible and her reactions were very real. I really enjoyed this and I recommend the book for a good read. Enjoy
review 2: I came across this book from the Indie Book Bargains site and I'm really glad I did. I like anything post-apocalyptic and this just fit the bill. It was a clear read and easily engaging and the characters were really interesting.The story revolves around two catastrophic events, a pandemic and London is under several meters of snow. We join a small group of people who live and scavenge what is left of London and life continues in their little community as best it can, until a strange appears in the snow.I really liked the two main characters, they were very human and contemporary, I felt that they were people I might know. I liked that there was a mix of personalities and that they weren't that different to what people are like now. The familiar landmarks were fun and the tension in the story was gripping.Sequel please, I hope there's more to come! less
