 In the End

SYNOPSIS:
It’s been three months since Amy escaped New Hope, and she’s been surviving on her own, like she did in the After. Until one day, her former fellow Guardian’s voice rings out in her earpiece. And in a desperate tone, Kay utters the four words Amy had hoped she would never hear: Dr. Reynolds has Baby.

Now it’s a race against time, for Baby is in imminent danger, her life threatened by the malevolent doctor who had helped start the end of the world. In order to save Baby, Amy must make her way to Fort Black, a prison-turned-survivor-colony, where she will need to find Ken, Kay’s brother. He alone holds the key to Baby’s survival.

One small slip-up on this quest could spark a downward spiral that would not only cost Baby and Amy their lives, but threaten the very survival of the people in the After.

WHY SHOULD YOU CHECK IT OUT?
Even without reading the first in this two-part series where Earth is swarming with creepy infected creatures, Amy’s story is compelling. Ultimately, this one is about the will to survive and the determination of one girl to find her ‘little sister’ as the world falls apart around them.

With a gritty, urban decay look to the cover, it definitely draws the eye. The first of the pair of stories had a similar look, but the splash of rusted-out red here lends an even more sinister tone.

This is only author Demitria Lunetta’s second novel. Will she stick the landing? Will we be begging for another dip into the world of the After? We seriously hope so!

EARLY REVIEWS SAY…
Lunetta’s conclusion to her duology… extend[s] Amy’s tale with action and romance. Fans will enjoy this greatly, but the real punch was in the first. (Kirkus Reviews)

Consuming! Fascinating and full of twists. Scary in the best way! I couldn’t look away. Once you start this book, you won’t close it until the story’s over… and then you’ll sit there wanting more. (Sophie Jordan, author of the Firelight trilogy)
