High Pressure System: Part One
No one knows why they have to evacuate. What they do know is people all over the world have died and it has something to do with the weather.
Rachel is a shy wallflower and typical college student when she’s evacuated with a bunch of people she doesn't know to an underground bunker in the desert. Her family is far away and she can't contact them anymore. The only comfort she brings with her are her dogs.
Everyone is struggling to settle in because they still don't understand exactly what they are hiding from. However, Rachel and her new father figure, Jim suspect it has something to do with technology controlled weather.
The genius guy in charge seems to know everything, but the only information he is giving out is apartment assignments and an expanding list of rules.
Rachel is determined to capture his attention to find out what it is they are hiding from. However, it might be more information than anyone can handle.
Please note- This is considered a one hour read. Part One of a Serial. All four parts to the First Season are available now. Also available Part Five, the beginning of Season Two.

November 2, 2019Wasn't sure at first, but the story picked up the pace and the characters fleshed out. Ended up ok. I really don't like serials where nothing is resolved but since 4 books are combined in the version I'm reading, I'll give the next novella a try.

High Pressure System: Part One by K.D. Kinney High Pressure System: Part One by K.D. Kinney is a post-apocalyptic short story that is the beginning of a series. I gave it four stars.
It starts with an evacuation of people. Rachel, the twenty-seven-year-old protagonist comments: "It was creepy, a mass exodus of people like I had only seen in movies. I couldn't shake the feeling that perhaps the ones that promised us safety were actually shuttling us to impending death."
She was able to take her dogs, Yodel and Dobbers with her to the underground shelter. They couldn't be outside for even half an hour before the clouds rolled in.
"Jim Rupp was the self-designated lobby security guard. He was one of those people that needed a purpose or he would go stir crazy."
It is a 'to be continued' story.
I received a complimentary kindle copy from Amazon. That did not change my opinion for this review.

Whiile the story had wonderfully fully formed and relatable characters and a compelling plot.. .I don't think that having the "young adult" label as a genre gives you full reign for sloppy and awkward writing.

Fun, fast but a bit of a tease
The story and plot are great. Very short but makes an intriguing start of a series! Enjoyed the ride, though.
