She was looking forward to her junior year of high school, obsessing about prom, getting her driver's license and maybe even meeting her first boyfriend, but September finds her on the run, from the bombings, from looters and much, much worse.
No more homecoming.
No more homeroom.
No more home.
The United States of America is dying, dragging civilization down with it. No electricity, no cars, no phones, no infrastructure, nothing but anarchy remains. The survivors, families and struggling communities are migrating west, away from the invading armies. Some are praying for the lights to come back on, but others are embracing the New World Order, living for today and taking what they need, but mostly, what they want.
Among them are the orphaned children, scraping by in the shadows with fewer and fewer surviving the cold nights of the approaching winter. But they don't have to be the forgotten generation.
All they need is a leader.
And she's found him. If she can keep him alive, they may all have a chance.

MY REVIEW:
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1372821249 4 STARS
This is a brutal little novella! I enjoyed it and am looking forward to more of the series.
The main characters don't give their names to each other, if they do that then they have to care.
He calls her Feral and she calls him a-hole and douche :)
The book doesn't really go into how the apocalypse started. It starts after the fact, when everything is just gone, electricity, everything. They have to fight for an existence involving some cruel people. Everyone is looking for the same things, food, supplies, water. They are just trying to survive, but there are always those horrible people that just kill, maim, rape, take...take...take..
I liked the budding friendship with the two characters. They both have their own traumas they have been through seeing people they love being killed etc. Hopefully together they will have a chance. And now they have Emily to care for, who is Emily? You know what I'm going to say.... read it and find out :)
