Genre: Urban Fantasy/Romance/Dystopian
Description:
“When everyone Eve cares about is killed in an alien invasion, she
uses her skills with a blade to battle her way through the changing landscape.
But with humanity on the brink of extinction, the aliens aren't the only
monsters the college color guard faces.
After fleeing the war zone that was once Atlanta, Eve heads north to
her family’s cabin in the woods. In the desolate mountain town, she encounters
a group of survivors on the way to the fabled Safe Zone. Impressed with her
fighting skills, the group's leader invites her to join their ranks.
But trust is a rare commodity in Eve’s new reality, and she must
decide whether an alliance with the dangerously sexy Archer is worth the risk.
His offer of protection is tempting, but if she agrees to join him, she’ll be
putting more than her life on the line. She can either save what's left of
humanity or lose her heart—and the whole damn world along with it.”

Appraisal:
The world has gone crazy, invaded by some strange aliens who are
killing off the human population. Eve is tough and with the saber she used to
use for show as a member of the college color guard she figures out how to deal
with them well enough to survive, at least so far. While this is happening in
the real world, Georgia specifically, the story world is much different with
these aliens and the issues they caused. Avoiding the aliens and finding what
is needed to survive for the humans who are left is a challenge. In some ways
dealing with the humans is tougher. Eve knows she can’t trust the aliens, but
with the humans sometimes she can and sometimes maybe not. Figuring that out is
problematic at times. Luckily, she finds out that there is an area that is safe
from the aliens, if only she can get there. This would be an adventure even
without the twist of Archer, a man she’s very attracted to who seems to like
her too, but can she trust him? Eve’s adventure as she worked through the
issues that popped up kept me engrossed in this story to the last word.
