Joe Reyes- Aftermath

4/5

“People and bean again?”

War can bring out the worst in people, but people can also bring out the worst in war.

Aftermath by Joe Reyes is the story of seven characters belonging to different survivor groups enduring the post-apocalyptic aftermath of America.

Their human nature may change but they all have the same agenda. Survival.

As their stories weave into one another, death and suspense cloud over their lives. As the aftermath tests relationships, morals and sanity, life couldn't be any worse for these survivors.

As the back stories of each character unfold, you learn more about how different their lives were before the bombings. As each character faces a conflict, their whole world is changing before them and evil doesn't only come from the mind of those tortured.

Between the seven characters, Ian had to be my favourite simply because of his heart. At the age of seventeen, Ian's life was turned upside down when a bomb changed his entire world. As a hunter, Ian scouts the grounds for food and other supplies that could be used to sustain the land they have come to call their home.

With a town full of children and families just barely surviving with what they have, Ian and his team decided to head into the city in search of much needed supplies. Ian's character brought out the love in this book as he fought to save who he thought was the love of his life, Sara. His wittiness and strong will-power never failed to keep me intrigued.

I hope this is only the beginning to a series as I want to know what happens after the abrupt ending.

Thanks for sending me Aftermath, Joe Reyes!
