This is the first book in a three book series and it’s a really good read. Yes there are romance and sex scenes, however, that isn’t all this book is about. It’s about life in a post-apocalyptic world where men and women live separate lives. What I found interesting and kept me reading was how the author crafted this world and made it not only believable but also interesting. It’s something we haven’t seen before.
Some female friends and family joke about how the world would be a better place if woman were in charge. I think they should read this book and than lets talk about it.
I really liked both the female main character Mia and the male main character Rayfe. Mia is a scientist and approaches life and the world through those eyes, which makes it fun. The author gives us Science babble that makes the character work, however she doesn’t over do making the character dull. Rayfe on the other hand is a product of the world he lives in, whoever, that doesn’t make him some dumb jock. He’s smart and has a head on his shoulders, which was a plus, given there was potential for the author to make him a pretty boy with a big assets and nothing else.
The characters may appear perfect (in physical form) however the world they inhabit isn’t, which for me really makes it work.
To be fair I read Book 2 first and came back to this one. Book 2 could work as a stand a lone Book 1 not so much. I’m looking forward to Book 3 especially for the story wrap up.
