In the After (In the After #1) by Demitria Lunetta → Start Date: January 4th, 2014

[Chelsea]

Pleas join me and Trisha as we read the first book in the In the After Series.


Synopsis~
They hear the most silent of footsteps.
They are faster than anything you've ever seen.
And They won't stop chasing you...until you are dead.

Amy is watching TV when it happens, when the world is attacked by Them. These vile creatures are rapidly devouring mankind. Most of the population is overtaken, but Amy manages to escape—and even rescue “Baby,” a toddler left behind in the chaos. Marooned in Amy’s house, the girls do everything they can to survive—and avoid Them at all costs.

After years of hiding, they are miraculously rescued and taken to New Hope, a colony of survivors living in a former government research compound. While at first the colony seems like a dream with plenty of food, safety, and shelter, New Hope slowly reveals that it is far from ideal. And Amy soon realizes that unless things change, she’ll lose Baby—and much more.

Rebellious, courageous, and tender, this unforgettable duo will have you on the edge of your seat as you tear through the pulse-pounding narrow escapes and horrifying twists of fate in this thrilling debut from author Demitria Lunetta.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

[Kathy]

I'll try! This one looks really good! :)

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

wow, so excited to start this one...
so this one is broken out in Parts.

I plan to come back after each Part.
Is that okay? sound good to everyone else? We can always come back more often if something happens in the story :)

I think there are three. I will probably only get 1 part done tomorrow but I do plan to tackle part of it! I can't wait to see what we think of this one!

[Chelsea]

Coming back after each part sounds good! I will definitely be starting early tomorrow.

[Kathy]

I don't know if I'll be able to make this one!

I'm reading 3 right now and starting tomorrow! lol!

I like coming back after each part! I'll let you know if I'm able to join you! :D

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

No worries, take your time - but if you aren't able to tackle this one, don't feel bad Kathy. All these buddy reads, so little time. I totally understand :)

[Chelsea]

Well, I might have to start later than I planned. I thought that I owned the book, but I can't find it so I requested it from my library. I should have it within 3 to 7 days (hopefully)!

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

No prob Chelsea. Just update when you can :) I hope you get it soon :)

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

wow
so I'm done with Part I

Amy (view spoiler)[ wow, I like her. she's learned so much and she's experienced so much and is so strong and determined because of it. holy crap her mom was smart (hide spoiler)]

baby (view spoiler)[ she is too cute and too sweet. I can't believe she survived when she was so young (hide spoiler)]

Amber (view spoiler)[ somehow I don't think we've seen the last of her. gah, she almost got them killed (hide spoiler)]

the last sentence to part I (view spoiler)[ OMG her MOM!?!?! That's great right?? holy moly ! (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

okay, I'm done with Part II

yikes

Amy (view spoiler)[ I don't understand these flashbacks.
I can't tell if she's really in a crazy room or if this is really the future

is she just imagining the Florae and her reality? is she really in an institution and none of this has happened??
(hide spoiler)]

Baby (view spoiler)[ I'm so glad she's adjusting. I was nervous she wouldn't and they would try to throw her out :( (hide spoiler)]

Rice (view spoiler)[ Hmmm....he seems nice but is that because Amy is the only prospect he has? at least he's polite and gentle and knows when to back off when she freaks out (hide spoiler)]

new Hope (view spoiler)[ I'm not too sure what to think of it so far... it seems brutal and kind of odd (hide spoiler)]

[Chelsea]

My book just shipped today so,I should have it aoon!

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

Yay Chelsea!!! :D I can't wait for you to start! This one is really interesting and there is a HUGE aspect to the story I can't wait to discuss!

[Chelsea]

I can't wait to read it and discuss it also!

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

okay, I'm done

(view spoiler)[ Hmmm...it wasn't nearly as interesting as I'd first thought....it was actually...after they got to New Hope, pretty boring.
(hide spoiler)]

Keep me posted on your reading Chelsea! I hope you like it! (and Kathy if you can still join !)

[Kathy]

I hope I can too! I really REALLY want to read it!

I have it sitting here next to me...it keeps taunting me! lol!!

I'll try to squeeze it in! :D

[Chelsea]

I will once I get it, but it's not in yet... And even if it were my parents wouldn't let me go to the library to get it :( almost all of the streets in my town are solid ice and we are in negative temperatures

[Kathy]

I hear you Chelsea! It was that way here all weekend and still yesterday the roads were still bad! Plow trucks were still coming through and it stopped snowing on Sunday!

I still want to read with you, so hopefully I'll be able to pick it up tomorrow! :D
