Valerie S. (VolunteerVal) -
What a sequel! Before reading A Single Light, you must read The Line Between to get the full impact of this thriller. The action picks up soon after the conclusion of The Line Between.
In the not-so-distant future, a very contagious disease (rapid early-onset dementia) is sweeping across the United States and the power grid is gone. Society quickly dissolves into chaos and martial law. A group of 63 people is secured in a large underground bunker for 6 months to 'wait out' the disaster. When they emerge, life has not returned to some semblance of 'normal' as they hoped. There's no vaccine for the rampant illness.
The first part of the novel depicts life in the underground bunker and the ways such confinement, while essential for life, impacts human beings. The bulk of the novel follows Wynter and Chase, our main characters, as they navigate a dangerous and chaotic Nebraska on a desperate search for antibiotics.
I was exhausted when I finished reading this novel because the action is so intense! Wynter is a smart and 'realistic' heroine which kept me right with her in the story. I was satisfied with the ending and was glad not everything wrapped up with a big pink bow. Thank you Tosca Lee for a wild and wonderful ride!
