Anyway, Amy does well in what we’re taught in elementary school and says “No!” to peer (¿?) pressure and doesn’t give up in trying to save her precious, one-and-only Baby. Man I honestly don’t understand it I would give up some 6 year old to save humanity in a heartbeat if that’s what it took. “‘I’m one in a million?’ Brenna says with a smirk. This is my favorite character and the one that kept me going throughout the book. It helps that she’s also pretty important to the plot regarding vaccines for the Florae. With a shaved head and spinal tattoo, this woman made me reconsider my heterosexuality. This one was not as bloodthirsty as I expected, but this place was a nice addition. The more gruesome the setting, the better. It’s a prison, which is pretty awesome when you add it to the backdrop of an apocalyptic world. But that’s her best shot, so she heads into Fort Black and starts her search. (See? They’re pretty much zombies.) Amy somehow thinks that going to Ken, another researcher who’s trying to find a cure, will save Baby so he can take tests of her instead of Dr. Reynolds, since she has survived the bite of a florae but had not been transformed into one.

Amy has escaped New Hope without Baby, who is being experimented on by the super evil maniac villain Dr. In The End follows the story of In the After, where people basically turn into zombies (called Them in the beginning, but later they’re revealed to be florae). Was that really the finale? Because I had to reread the last couple of pages to make sure it had an ending. Readers of the Hunger Games trilogy will not be able to pit down this book, which is gripping from beginning to end. And one small slip-up could not only cost Baby and Amy their lives, but threaten the survival of he people in the After.ĭemitria Lunetta has created an utterly compelling conclusion to the story she set forth in In the After. There she will need to find Ken-Kay’s brother-for he holds the key to Baby’s survival.īut before she can do any of this, she’ll have to endure the darkest places-and people-of the prison. In order to save Baby, Amy will have to make her way to Fort Black, a former prison-turned-survivor colony. Now it’s a race against time, for Baby is in imminent danger, her life threatened by the malevolent doctor who had helped start the end of the world. And in a desperate tone, Kay utters the four words Any had hoped she would never hear: Then, in the midst of foraging for supplies, her former fellow Guardian’s voice rings out in her earpiece. And she’s been surviving on her own, like she did before she was “rescued” and taken to what she thought was a safe haven. It’s been three months since Amy escaped New Hope. She thought it was the end of the world… But it was only the beginning of the end.
