I will recommend this book because I really liked it, and I want you to also feel what I felt at the end. The middle was just a lot of driving and connecting to Yara and then to end the way it did after all that driving and Yaraing. As much as I liked the story, the progression of the story was only in the beginning and then the end (In my opinion). Now no place on the cover does it say book 1 so I can assume that this is a stand alone, however I pray to the gods that this is not a stand alone. The chemistry they had together made this a wonderful read and the banter back and forth was so funny….then we got to the end and I was in a RAGE. Some of the things he said is in a realistic way because if this happened to you, you would say the same things. I LOVED Miles and I can’t tell you how many times I laughed out loud. Miles is the kid she meets and she learns is suppose to take her to find her people. That’s sounds AWESOME right? It was and I honestly loved Juneau. Yara which is a form of natural magic that can connect her with her people and nature but when she steps out into a world she thought was lost it becomes apparent that she was lied to because the world outside of there small village is just fine. It left only a few people who will do anything to survive but when the outside world breaks in and all the villagers go missing it’s up to Juneau to find them using the only thing she know. The story starts after the 3rd World War in a town in Alaska with a group of people that have started a new life separated from a world that was totally devastated. I just don’t understand, this book was great and then WTF!!! OK so I wont say what happened but it was really frustrating and I must hope upon hope that this is going to be a series or I might actually punch someone.

***Bangs head on desk*** I really liked this book until the end then I wanted to punch someone in the face.
