Cat’s Review: ♥♥♥♥♥ 5 Hearts
One hundred years after the first Asteroid hit causing the world to go into a state of Chaos and find shelter at the mysterious Refuge Inc. 5 years later it hit again leaving the earth filled with deadly toxic gases.

Inside Refuge Inc., there was also a breach in the upper hemisphere causing many to die and the rest to survive in the lower half. There are many rules enforced, and no one is allowed to have children until they can find a place to start over. Then there is a breach on level Ten, the top floor, and chaos ensues unlocking many mysteries and lies.

Science fiction isn’t one of my favorite genres, but I do enjoy a well-written post-apocalyptic story now and again. I have followed this series from the beginning and loved it. I have waited for this one for a very long time and wasn’t disappointed. I love interesting characters, and there was many of them.

I also liked that there was a frequent mention of the first books and Adam and Elliot.

There is a bit more romance in this book, and I really liked that.
If you like Science Fiction, Post-apocalypse, futuristic stories, a good romance and a happy for now ending this is for you.

Even though this is a book 5 it stands alone just fine.

Lisa’s Review: ♥♥♥♥♥ 5 Hearts

I wasn’t to sure about this series at first because of the fact that it is like a futuristic type of story. I had expected zombies so when I started reading it, lets just say I was fascinated with it. Over one hundred years ago an asteroid turned the world into a wasteland, then fifteen years later it made the air deadly. So a safe place was made for the survivors but someone on the inside is trying to change it all.

With a leak on the tenth floor, everyone was ordered to keep the contaminated out. Disobeying orders Vince goes to the upper floors not expecting his friends to follow he was shock to find out that those who were supposed to have been dead were very much alive. Connor will follow Vince everywhere, he has loved the man for years but it is not returned. He had high hopes to change that, but now with all the surprises coming up things just might be changing for all of them.

This story was a shock to me and I can’t tell you how much fun I had reading it. It was so realistic that it felt like I was right there with them. The shock of finding out about the lies they were all told, the betrayal from above, the love and friendship were just a hit for me. I loved that there was so much description to this story it felt so damn real. Although I am glad it wasn’t. I loved how much depth to this story that it had and would definitely put this in my top five favorites list. I hope to read another story about the future because it would be a hit.

I enjoyed this story and would definitely recommend it.
