The Event

Rate this book
Can evil be defeated, or does it merely transform?
Donovan is evil.
He knows it.
He doesn't care.
When an unprecedented solar flare ruins the earth, it changes all humanity, turning back the clock to days long gone, and gives Donovan the power to do anything he wants.

That is, as long as he can get rid of his sister.

After all, she has the same powers he does.

Shade was just your average teen. Girls, cars, and having fun were his plans.

He never thought he would spend his birthday in the woods, fighting the broken remains of humanity to stay alive. His father, changed to a werewolf, his mother, blinded by the event, yet her dark eyes now able to glimpse the future…

And Dawn.

Donovan's sister.

Stripped of her voice, she speaks with words no one can hear.

However, in the end, only the undead beauty Silvia's choices will change the face of the future, or decide if there will be one for the broken remnants of humanity.

i loved it! i loved the changes to the characters after The Event, the super powers, the outlook to their new world and the many events they must face.
however, some advice to the author, you did a couple times jump from first person to 3rd person, however if you were to change the part that was 1st person into the prologue i could understand that.
other than that it had heaps of potential the characters built up perfectly and the story kept you interested when the weird and eventfull times were ahead.
keep up the good work

I enjoyed this story and was always wanting to know what happened next. I got held up in the middle of the book because of other things in my life making me not have time to read for awhile. It was in no way a reflection on the book and it's pull to finish it.

I loved the way the way new information kept cropping up little by little. I enjoyed this way of story telling better than everything happening at once and the characters fighting their way out of it. I think it built the suspense and think it is what compelled to keep reading and wanting to know more.

There were some sad parts, but I think these are things that make a great story. There were some characters and things they did that made me want to scream, but again it is things like this that make a great story.

That being said, I did notice a few editing errors, or parts in which the grammar wasn't exactly the same as how I would have learned it in the US. However, I know that the author lives in Canada, so this may be the reason for some of the slight differences. These weren't enough to detract from the story, I just changed it in my head as I read it, so that it made sense to me.

I don't really want to sit here and pick apart every thing I liked and disliked individually because I don't want to leave any spoilers in this review. I just urge others to read it because you won't regret it!!!

I also can't wait for the next one. Remember how I said the author introduces new story pieces little by little. He left one new piece that keeps me craving to know more right at the very end of this one!

Not what I expected butnstill good.

Four stars because it was a good read. I"m into apocalyptic stories and shy away from stories with magic or mystical themes. My assumption was this another story in the genre I enjoyed. I was rather diselusioned when I came across power moon stones and werewolves. Other than that, it was very entertaining and worth the time.

This was a decent story, but it was rendered almost unreadable by the multitudes of misspellings, homonym and homophone misuses, and just awkward sentence structure. The editors and proofreaders should be flogged with rusty barbed wire, as should the author for letting it be put on Amazon in this shape.

Get an editor, please.

Your story was very entertaining, sadly the incorrect word choices, misspellings, improper punctuation, and simple typographical errors made it a struggle to get through.
