Review: Afterworld: Road to Redemption - Olivia Boothe

Afterworld: Road to Redemption by Olivia Boothe
My rating: ⭐⭐⭐ Stars

Afterworld by Olivia Boothe is a Dystopian genre book set into the future as a deadly virus wipes out the majority of the world and those who are left have to defend themselves against the Damned, a kind of apocalyptic zombie. Add into that the Four Horsemen who are scouring for survivors and basically, you’re screwed. Enter Kate, a woman who is just trying to survive who one days gets herself into a bit of a mess and is rescued by Jax, a mysterious man who has secrets, but who is trying to seek redemption for the things he has done in the past. The two of them definitely save each other and the chemistry between the two is pretty hot.

This book had a lot of elements to it, a lot of biblical scenes ( a little bit more than was to my liking), some zombies, some folklore and a lot of questions being asked on why angels didn’t help sooner (a good point that Kate makes throughout the book).

As a first book in a series, it was a good started and I’m sure the other books in the series will take us down the rabbit-hole of what is going on, what is going to happen and how Jax and Kate are going to save the world. This is certainly the book for you if you like zombies and some good characters to introduce you to a new world.

ARC received for a fair, honest and sometimes long review. All opinions are my own. 😊

Review: Until Bax - Aurora Rose Reynolds

Until Bax by Aurora Rose Reynolds
My rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars

Until Bax is book 14 in the Until Him/Her series by Aurora Rose Reynolds and tells the story of Bax and Olivia. Olivia comes back to town after a betrayal and to look after her older parents. Upon her return she bumps into her crush Bax and they definitely have a connection but due to Bax being her brother’s best friend and some other complications thrown into the mix, neither really wants to do anything about the attraction but when other things start happening to Olivia, Bax must step up to the plate to protect her and will fight anyone who steps in his way.

This was a really sweet and steamy read. There's enough drama to keep you hooked, characters from previous books pop up and the dynamic between Bax and Olivia is page turning, especially when things start to heat up between them. I really liked the banter between Olivia and Bax, even the mis-communication that happened at times added to the story of two people trying to figure out how they’re going to work when everyone else has an opinion on it. I also liked that we got the POV from both characters and got a sense of what they were thinking/feeling about each other and things that were going on.

Overall, a great addition to this series and some really great characters!
