4.5*
Day One picks up right where its predecessor Day Zero left off, with main character Jinx and her stepsister MacKenna trying to find Jinx's brother, who has been taken. Jinx's parents and MacKenna's dad have all played a fairly active role in the current hellscape that was the United States, so it could really be just about any faction out to get them. Jinx's father was a big ...more

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley and Inkyard Press.
Gonna be honest with you. Reading this duology so close to the US election was not an entirely comfy situation but we'll worth it.
Day One is stunning. Susan has claimed herself as Jinx and MacKenna wants answers.
It starts with the hunt to get Charles back and a series of increasingly more horrifying choices.
It left me shaken but hopeful. ...more

Talk about an action packed book.
There was So much going on at all times. So many different pieces all moving together it was hard to imagine a bigger picture. Characters did seem to pop up from seemingly no where though which did bother me a bit.
I loved loved the politics side of it. It was very insightful as a look into power hungry people.
It was very refreshing for the romance to be barely there in these books.

I was hoping to enjoy this; disaster stories are my jam, after all. And it's not bad, per se. It's a little chaotic; things keep happening, one after another, and our characters are flung from one situation to the next without much time to recover in between. There are allies and amazing tech everywhere you look; I was very rarely worried about them, because people kept turning up to help them.

Day Zero by Kelly deVos is one of those review copies I never quite got around to reading last year. However, one of the benefits of not reading a book promptly is not having to wait for the sequel. Instead, you can read both the original and the sequel back to back. This was my approach to Day Zero and its sequel, Day One.

this is the second in a series about two step-sisters who are trying to find their little brother and avoid being killed by opposing political forces in this post-apocalyptic adventure. I really enjoyed the author's writing style (obviously because this is book two) although at times the story so closely mirrored some of our current political extremes that it was frightening. I would give this one 4 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

If you are looking for a super fast paced ya action book with political intrigue and mystery then this is a great book for you. If you're looking for a lot of character depth and descriptions it is not. I personally loved it. Its easy to get into and just keep reading because the story marches right along and you get sucked in. The only downside to this book was I felt like it could have been a trilogy to explain things a bit more. Here's hoping there's a novella in the future.

I wish this book had another coming. But this was a great ending to this two book series. I loved the outcome and the characters and I was blown away!! I need this as a movie or tv series!! I loved this from the beginning and the pacing is so fast that it was over as soon as I started!! If you loved book one this one is going to knock your socks off.

Once again, fast paced and epic! Not a lot of in depth character arc but you’re still connected and on the edge of your seat. Got to know the girls a bit better. This is the kind of book I’m looking for. Matches up nicely with my movie preferences as well. Also mad props for that recap!
