Book Review: In the End

The last book of a 2 book series is here! This is a QUICK read, and addicting to boot!

In the End

Demitria Lunetta

Amy has escaped New Hope, the deceitful post-apocalyptic village where her mother reigns--the mother that helped release the virus that has turned its victims into zombie-like plant people.  But when Amy finds out that Dr. Reynolds, the doctor responsible for creating the virus in the first place, has "Baby," Amy's friend/sister she took care of outside the city walls, she travels to a new town in order to get help.

Amy rushes to Fort Black to enlist the help of her friend's brother, Ken.  What she finds at Fort Black is not what she expected.  She finds an intriguing and handsome boy her own age, an evil warden, and men at every corner trying to get Amy alone.

Fighting against time, Amy finds what she needs to escape Fort Black and tries to get back to New Hope to save Baby before it's too late.

In the End is a relatively original spin on post-apocalyptic literature.  While the creatures in this book are similar to zombies, Lunetta has taken that idea and turned them into plant-like creatures created by science.  Amy goes back and forth with her feelings with the boy at Fort Black and the boy at New Hope.  While Amy is attempting to remain and independent, kick-butt heroine, she lacks this ferocity when it comes to these boys.  She consistently lets her guard down when it comes to guys, which is ridiculous frustrating.

Fortunately, the story saves itself.  Amy is successful at getting the help she needs, and stays strong to who she is, despite her weakness for the male gender.

Fans of Rot & Ruin will love this book!
