Life After War #8

Dearly Departed

Rate this book
Heroes Have Been Lost

Safe Haven has been hit with awful blows since the war. They’ve been stalked, burnt, shaken, shot, and betrayed so much that it’s impossible to tell friends from enemies. Assassins and traitors have ruined the fragile peace and personal dramas have weakened the dream of rebuilding a society of love and light. Surrounded by dangerous refugees and running low on supplies, the situation was already bleak when the camp arrived at that cursed mountain to make their settlement. Five hundred survivors crammed into the tunnels, hoping to be protected.

They weren’t.

The post-apocalyptic earthquake that ripped apart Safe Haven’s mountain shelter took some of our beloved heroes. They have been lost, but they will never be forgotten.

What can you say after reading this book? I said WOW, I love her writing no mater what book.
All of these books in Life After War are simply spell bound. I start start to sleep and give up sleep to read.
This book has a lot of the romantic side to it and it was good reading. This is just such a change from my other ARC reads. All through this book there are many things we learn about the characters.
It is a great read and if your reading the series then you need this book.

Angela gets Safe Haven to the mountain caves knowing it has a terrible cost comming

Safe Haven is in their new home the cost has been heavy and will get worse before can make decisions for the future. It isn’t as safe as they think but that comes as no surprise to the leaders. They don’t know the full cross yet but they will

Well, Angela's done it again............left us hanging on until we once again join "Safe Haven" for further adventures in staying alive till we reach the island. However, Dog is again on the way home to Marc, and that's great news. We lost so many good people this time and it's sad they have departed the saga, but we still have the core group leading on and here is hoping more "good" people will find them and join up to help save humanity. OK Angela, hurry up and get with book #9 and give all of us faithful readers more of "Safe Haven" adventures. Enjoyed the ride once again and I'm doing the hurry up and wait dance once again. I did try and savor the ride and kept myself from reading in one big read, but from the time I started till I ended seemed to fly by. But I read other things in between so I could make this last as long as I did. Wanted to just keep reading, but knew it will be some time for the next book to be released.
One thing I would like to know, Angela when will we get more of Alexa's Travels books?????? Waiting for more of those too.

I can't explain why I stay with this series but I'm hopelessly hooked. It has so much depth. It's made me think of all the possibilities with regard to choices that we make in life.

I guess I've read some immediate releases that have not been completely proofed due to typos and grammatical errors, but that's ok. Those little things have not taken away from the story at all.

I have to admit that I was very confused with what was said to be book 9 because I've already read it as book 7.

I love the back stories. They explain a lot about the nature of the characters.

I also love the Alexa's travels books and am just now getting into the Bachelor Battles.

Overall, I love this story. It's had twists and turns that I did not expect at all. This would be a great mini series!

Looking forward to whatever is next!

Spectacular!!!

Just when I think everything is alright here we go again! Boss is back and the two men she loves have become pals....or have they?? We've got to get that boat and head to the island as quick as possible. No more niceties, it's now or never!!!
The only thing I disliked about this wonderful book is that it ended too soon. :( Now I'll have to find something else to read....hmmm...... while anxiously awaiting the next adventures of Safe Haven, the Eagles, and members.
Angela White has out done herself once again.

As always, the Life After War series is simply amazing. White pulls you in and doesn't let go until the final sentence. Then she delights you with deleted scenes. Amazing storytelling. Can't wait for the next one. My ultimate plan is once the series is finished, I'm going to read them all back to back because the colorful landscape she depicts is so easily visualized and the characters are true and understandable. Love this series. Keep 'em coming Ms. White. Fan for life!

Love this series

I've reviewed most of this series already so this one will be short. The story line keeps getting better, the characters are full of depth and I haven't enjoyed another series as much as this one in a long time. This is my 3rd time reading this book, the whole series more than 10 times. I start over at the beginning when she comes out with a new one. Recommend to everyone who loves post-apocalyptic reading with a twist!!

Departed from the frying pan into the fire

Earthquakes, battles with enemies, battles against friends and surrounded by a dying world.
Safe Haven is not safe yet and they still haven’t reached their haven.
Amazing story filled with amazing characters and terrible editing.

No time to breathe

Yowza! Book 8 grabs you immediately and never lets go! Action is the theme of this chapter as the group transitions from the mountain into transportation mode. Lots of death and destruction, maybe too much but ... I'll be there for book 9!

And of course I'm gonna die waiting till the next one.. Just wish they would've gotten a little further past the mountain before it was over.

It is interesting to see the development of the characters and the accomplishment of their goals. I will read the next in the series, wish it weren't such a long wait.

Totally sucked into this series, though I am not into the spritual stuff f. There is enough human drama to keep it going for me.
