White Horse
Alex Adams

The reader is thrown into a new world where chaos reigns, but humanity survives.
This novel tries to be a romantic novel and succeeds if the reader can identify romance in a Post-apocalyptic world.

White Horse is the name that has been given to a plague that has wiped out millions and of humans. There are three types of people left in the world, the dead, the dying, and those that may be immune from the White Horse disease.

Thirty-year-old Zoe is one of the immune. She led an ordinary life before the plague; before everyone she knew and loved came down with the plague. In order to earn money for college she was cleaning cages and floors at Pope Pharmaceuticals. The story centers around her journey of survival and the people she comes across. All are needy, even the evil ones.

I found the author’s style of alternating before and after chapters, disrupting because she picks up each time sequence at different intervals of before the plague and after the plague. Half way through the book story starts to read much smoother.

The author enjoys using more than one sentence or metaphor to describe emotions and events. Not only does this style slow the pace of the plot, it could lose readers who would enjoy the twists and turns that makes for a good plot.

The author succeeds in spreading her word of hope and faith with an unexpected ending.
