This is a young adult novel featuring mild romance and
confusing mystery. This is volume two
of the Elysium Chronicles which is mild SciFi as it appears to be a post apocalypse
book.
I guess the confusing part is due to the lack of a back story. Evie has amnesia and thus she can’t remeber
her past, sadly that lack of memory is also the reader’s problem as well. More back story would have allowed greater
enjoyment of the book for those of us
who have not read the previous volume.
There is the requisite underground mysterious bunker as well as
genetically modified creatures. The
friction between Gavin and Asher predates their attraction to Evie. Again, more back story would have helped.
This book does not stand alone well. As part of a series it is OK assuming you
read the previous volume. The concept and
style are fine but the inability for the
book to stand alone made it difficult for me to enjoy.

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
