Zona cero

by Clara Ann Simons

Un evento solar catastrófico.
Un mundo en colapso total.
Dos mujeres que nunca debieron encontrarse.
Cuando un evento Miyake, una tormenta solar cien veces más poderosa que cualquier cosa registrada, golpea la Tierra, la civilización se desintegra en cuestión de horas. Sin electricidad. Sin comunicaciones. Sin ley.
Isabel Reyes, estudiante de doctorado en física, vio venir el desastre desde su laboratorio. Pero entender la ciencia no te prepara para sobrevivir en unas calles donde los depredadores acechan en cada esquina.
Arizona no salva a nadie. Ya no. Su pasado está escrito en cicatrices y en una lista de nombres que prefiere olvidar. Solo confía en su entrenamiento, en su instinto... y en las manos que siempre tiene frías.
Cuando se cruzan, ninguna imagina que ese encuentro cambiará sus vidas para siempre. Acompañadas por un pastor alemán que se niega a abandonarlas, se abren paso entre el caos hacia una colonia de supervivientes donde la esperanza aún resiste.
Pero Arizona carga con un pasado. Y ese pasado regresa para reclamarla.
En un mundo donde la humanidad muestra su peor rostro, el amor puede florecer en la oscuridad más absoluta. Aunque primero tendrán que sobrevivir al invierno.

4 stars. Would’ve been higher but I had a few qualms. Isabel told Arizona that she loved her after a few days or so. Girl, what? A mess. I also thought Isabel was annoying as hell and kinda inconsistent but I loved Arizona. She was badass and had a very intriguing back story. I wish the romance between them had been better. I totally got why Isabel fell for Arizona, especially with how she saved her but there was just something off about their chemistry for me. I wasn’t feeling it unfortunately.

However, the plot of the apocalypse itself was really cool and I appreciated that the author didn’t hold any punches. This book is gritty and violent and I loved that part of it. Anyone could die at any moment and the stakes always felt high. The pacing was also really good and kept the story moving to where I never felt bored. A very entertaining read.

I really post apocalyptic/dystopian books and this had a fun premise (big ass solar flair all technology goes to shit) and an interesting plot but something felt missing almost like it could have been longer to really get into it (like hello wouldn’t planes be falling out the sky and shit??) or maybe dates at the start of chapters to indicate passage of time or something because chunks of time felt missing and that wasn’t satisfying to me.

Great Read!

I’ve read a lot of Clara Ann’s books and this one hit all the right notes! Love story ☑️ dog ☑️ international assassins ☑️ and a world made primitive ✅. Arizona and Isabel meet when the world goes dark-can they survive when everything they have ever known is gone in a flash? Get this book and find out!

Un post-apo court et efficace qui se lit très vite. La tension est constante, portée par un monde en effondrement crédible et oppressant. La traduction est soignée et les deux héroïnes sont intéressantes, avec une romance touchante… même si, clairement, l’ambiance post-apocalyptique prend le dessus (et c’est assez logique 😅).
Une lecture rapide qui fait le job.

Pasé miedo, porque ese evento solar catastrófico (o cualquier otro evento) puede producirse sumiendo al mundo en un colapso total, haciendo que lo peor del ser humano salga a la luz con total impunidad y eso es verdaderamente terrorífico, aunque donde hay oscuridad siempre hay luz y ellas, junto con otras personas, la encontraron.
Adoré a Molly.

Dnf halfway through. Characters felt flat and the pacing was really weird. An odd combo of refusing to use contractions with just a couple sprinkled in made the characters sound robotic. By the halfway mark I was bored in a book about the apocalypse so I gave up.

Great Story!

This story had everything that I love in a good book. Dog, love and somewhat HEA.
What a cute love story. I loved the characters and the storyline. Support the author’s books and make sure you leave your reviews.

Great, quick read. A post apocalyptic story with a side of love. I thought it was well done, if a bit short. Would lend itself to a sequel or a series.

pretty good

One of the better post apocalypse stories I have read. I did not expect it to go the way it did and that is usually the best part of any story.

It lacks complexity in the storytelling, but a nice, simple and light read.
