The After #3
After Tomorrow
If you like the action of The Walking Dead, the friendship of Stand By Me, and the sizzle of Fifty Shades of Grey, you’re going to love the post-apocalyptic After series!
The world is still ending, but now winter is closing in and it’s deadlier than ever.
Sandford’s party girl, Kat Tenor, isn’t about to let something like the apocalypse ruin her fun. The Sy-V virus may have decimated the world around her, but it hasn’t dimmed her charisma. If anything, she’s even more determined to see the best in a critical situation.
But when old secrets and new enemies challenge her at every turn and an impulsive act leads to devastating consequences, everything she’s fought to hold together begins to unravel.
Quinn Brent, guard for the new Sanford, has admired Kat’s tenacity from afar for too long. He knows that beneath her bubbly, messy exterior lies someone who’s fiercely loyal and kind. So when the unthinkable happens, and Kat’s light dims too much for him to handle, Quinn has no choice but to step out of the shadows and take on a rescue mission of his own. To find the girl he loves and save her from herself.
With brutally cold weather and their enemies closing in, the stakes are higher than ever… Can love survive the end of the world?

I really enjoyed Kat and Quinns story, the book picks up about 3 months after the outbreak and things are looking grim with it being the middle of winter. This book is action packed and fast paced which I loved.
Quinn is my favourite of the three MMCs in this series he's such a sweet teddy bear. Kat is more chaos in human form but I was expecting this based on what she did in the first two books. I love this world that Jacqueline is building and I had alot of emotions reading this book. There were some scenes that shocked me, in a good way for the most part and I don't want to say much more about them cause I think they will be fun (?!) for you to read yourself.
The spice was perfect, not too much but not so little it leaves you wanting more. Not quite a slow burn but the spice doesn't happen till midway.
Includes
Found family
Friends to lovers
MMC has been in love with the FMC for years
Minimal angst
Alcoholism (not talked about in depth but it's there)
Post apocalypse (without the zombies)
Spice 🌶🌶/5
I think you could read this as a standalone but I think it's more beneficial to read from the start.
I recieved an ARC but this is my honest opinion and thoughts on this book.

After Tomorrow (The After Series Book 3)
Kat and Quinn are my favorite couple so far. I love the messed up, full hearted and slightly broken Kat and have truly enjoyed watching her journey!

5/5 stars
Heat level: 3.5 / 5 peppers (this is subjective, we will just say it is descriptive in the spicy scenes)
HFN/HEA/OTHER: HEA
Jacqueline Hayley, you've done it again. I almost feel like you read my mind and know that I need more apocalyptic romance in my life. So, trust me when I say I will read and buy them all.
I love Quinn. I adored that he never gave up on Kat and that he had her back in every situation. He was just the right kind of contrast to her personality in the best ways. I think I'm just ecstatic to see Quinn finally end up with Kat.
Kat- I spent a good portion of the book comparing her to a tornado with good intentions which was funny because the comparison made by Quinn about her was that she was a hurricane.
Kat is probably my favorite of our main group of girls (with Mackenzie being a very close second). She has been an interesting collection of good intentions with terrible luck. The fallout of many of the situations like the encounter with the Panther's was heartbreaking. I loved watching her make the decision to do better and change.
The spice was top tier *chef's kiss*
The Panthers, Mallrats, and this mysterious army are only just beginning to show themselves to our main group of characters from Sanford. I can see a lot of potential for conflicts between groups in the books to come, not going to lie I might be a bit excited to see where this goes.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and I cannot wait for the next book in The After series! If you're a fan of apocalyptic romance, I definitely recommend giving this series a read.

Yes, Kat was a walking hurricane- she was terrified of standing still, of being boring. She was flawed, but weren't they all? She was charming and spirited and loyal, with an enormous heart and endless capacity for compassion. She was Kate. And he would tear this town apart to find her.

And honestly, if cauliflower could somehow become pizza, then Kat could do anything. She could change. She just had to get out of this pickup.

Hold on to your pages—the After Series is back with another absolute page turner of a post apoc romance!
I LOVED returning to Sanford and four friends battling what remains of society, the brutal winter elements, and their internal demons in their struggle to live—and love—in the aftermath of Sy-V.
Jacqueline Hayley has done it again – another action-packed, thrilling, heartfelt, brutal, beautiful thrill of a read. The next instalment in the After Series had me turning the pages to the end, my heart in my mouth with every new twist and turn, and those HOT HOT HOT spicy times.
P.s. If I have to be in an apocalypse, please let it be with this crew!

This series just keeps getting better! Outspoken Kat has secrets that have come back to haunt her. Thank goodness for Quinn who might just save her from herself. This book has everything and I could not put it down. So much happens, so much is revealed and oh my god, when is Book 4 coming out?? Jacqueline Hayley is the master of intrigue and life or death suspense, not to mention the hottest apocalyptic sex I've ever read.

Más de lo mismo pero con mínimos giros...

•Esta destinada a ser un descargo personal no para que alguien más lea pero si lo haces y te ofende, me disculpo porque sé lo que es que te guste un libro y otros lo critiquen.
After Yesterday de Jacqueline Hayley Serie The After libro 3
Argumento:
El mundo todavía se está acabando, pero ahora el invierno se acerca y es más mortal que nunca.
La chica fiestera de Sandford, Kat Tenor, no está dispuesta a dejar que algo como el apocalipsis arruine su diversión. El virus Sy-V puede haber diezmado el mundo que la rodea, pero no ha atenuado su carisma. En todo caso, está aún más decidida a ver lo mejor en una situación crítica. Pero cuando viejos secretos y nuevos enemigos la desafían a cada paso y un acto impulsivo lleva a consecuencias devastadoras, todo lo que ha luchado por mantener unido comienza a desmoronarse.
Quinn Brent, guardia del nuevo Sanford, ha admirado la tenacidad de Kat desde lejos durante demasiado tiempo. Él sabe que debajo de su exterior burbujeante y desordenado se esconde alguien ferozmente leal y amable. Entonces, cuando sucede lo impensable y la luz de Kat se atenúa demasiado para que él la pueda manejar, Quinn no tiene más opción que salir de las sombras y emprender una misión de rescate propia. Encontrar a la chica que ama y salvarla de sí misma. Con un clima brutalmente frío y sus enemigos acercándose, las apuestas son más altas que nunca...
¿Podrá el amor sobrevivir al fin del mundo?
Mi humilde opinión:
Romance postapocalíptico, después de un virus, proximidad forzada, polos opuestos.
Pasaron dos meses desde que el virus Sy-V diezmó a la población, las amigas Mac, Rachel, Chloe y Kat volvieron al que ahora llaman Nuevo Sanford luego de envenenar al alcalde y sus secuaces para liberarlo de su poder. El grupo de amigos se esta acomodando y cada uno tiene tareas para mantenerse. Sin embargo, hay gente que no le gusta el nuevo orden y todo se complica cuando roban los alimentos y la gasolina señalando a Kat como la culpable de todo.
Kat ya empezó a molestarme desde el comienzo, piensa que esta de vacaciones, parece solo querer pasarla bien, pide créditos para whiskey en lugar de algo realmente necesario. No entiendo porque los elementos básicos femeninos no estaban a disposición de las mujeres, por qué tenían que tener créditos para conseguirlos? Volviendo a Kat, ella es irreverente, impulsiva, toma decisiones que le traen problemas y tiene actitudes que hacen enojar a sus amigos: era evidente que tenia un problema con el alcohol que ella decía que podía controlar, soltó delante de todos algo que su amiga le contó en confidencia y le pidió que quedara entre ellas. Dejó entrar al personas que les robaron lo poco que tenían y después por ayudar a Chloe murieron dos amigos de Cassie y Stephen.
No esperé que la causa de la fricción entre ella y Jim fuera porque tuvieron una aventura! Ella tenia 15 y él estaba casado. Para mi asombro sus amigas le hicieron ver que fue un abuso porque Jim nunca la desalentó y ella pensaba que tenia culpa porque lo persiguió. Encima después Jim hizo como que no paso nada con ella?
No le había prestado mucha atención a Quinn antes pero ahora me gustó desde que dice que trabajaba doble turno para darle los créditos a Kat. Me pareció dulce, no le importaba el pasado de Kat ni lo que hizo, él la quería como tal y como era. Sobre todo me encantó que se volviera su protector cuando todos a su alrededor la atacaban.
Parece que todavía no logran unir a la gente que queda en el pueblo para sobrevivir, nadie da un paso al frente para hacer las cosas bien, si hasta no supieron guardar bien la comida que trajeron y la echaron a perder! hay mucha hostilidad de parte algunas mujeres por lo que paso con el alcalde y sus guardias anteriormente. Nadie las vigiló sabiendo que podían intentar algo contra ellos. Me gustaban Jim y Caroline en el libro anterior pero aquí se volvieron personas horribles. Caroline miró hacia otro lado y dejo que los encerraran, cuando Mac la había salvado antes, mato para que no la abusaran! No esperé su traición. Me molestaba tanto que todavía no se organizaran para trabajar juntos, al menos el grupo de amigos. Me molestaba que cayeran en trampas por no ser cuidadosos, antes fue Gemma con el grupo de motociclistas y ahora Missy, una adolescente que lideraba un grupo de chicos?
En los últimos capítulos me pareció ridículo que se pusieran a buscar vestidos de bodas y beber champagne después de todo lo malo que pasó! Por fin entienden que Sanford esta perdido y que deben buscar un lugar donde puedan estar seguros.
Tenia un poco de esperanza que la historia fuera mejor que las anteriores pero continua siendo mas de lo mismo con un mínimo giro.

Wowzer! Here we are in another installment of the After series and Jaqueline Haley has done it again. I am so in love with the characters Quinn and Kat, even though Kat is somewhat flawed it still brings the story to a perfect place. Sanford, post apocalypse, and here we are Trying to maintain some sense of normalcy. The intimate and romantic scenes will send chills down your spine. Hayley has a way of pulling you in at just the right time and then when the explosion hits you barely see it coming. I have read the others in this series and feel that it could be read as a stand alone but you are more aware of the characters past if you read all of them in order.
5 out of 5 stars
Thank you to Goodreads as well as the author/publisher for giving me the opportunity to read this book in exchange for my unbiased and honest review.

just as good
I didn’t think I would like Kat’s story but it was good, we learned why she has an alcohol problem and trauma of her youth. There are few sad moments in this story. Over all a very good book.

I just wasn’t meshing well with the writing style and wasn’t hooked by the story.

I was looking for a spicy apocalypse romance, and i got exactly what I wished for!
I hadn’t read the first few books of the series, but didn’t feel like I was missing any context
Good quick read

I liked Kat and Quinn
But I didn't love Rachel and how she was with Kat.
I can't imagine how those 2 maintained such a close friendship without killing each other over the years.

Brilliantly Well Written
I’ve each book so far and now after the sneak peek at the next book I can’t wait for it to come out. Each couple has shown a glimpse into the friendship group and this town.
Read this! I don’t understand how you’re on the fence!
