The Apocalypse does not end. The Changed will grow in numbers. The Spared may not survive. Even before the EMPs brought down the world, Alex was on the run from the demons of her past and the monster living in her head. After the world was gone, she believed Rule could be a sanctuary for her and those she'd come to love. But she was wrong.

Now Alex is in the fight of her life against the adults, who would use her, the survivors, who don't trust her, and the Changed, who would eat her alive. Welcome to Shadows, the second book in the haunting apocalyptic Ashes Trilogy where no one is safe and humans may be the worst of the monsters.

I have some mixed feelings about this book. On one hand, I was anxious to find out what happened next throughout the whole book. I was never bored with it, but I was kind of frustrated. Because nothing other than bad stuff ever happened. I get it, is a book about horrible things, but usually there will be some lighthearted moments, some doses of humanity, to get through the rough and depressing subject matter. But this had none of that.

It was, however, full of action, and I did care enough about the characters to want to know what will happen, so I will definitely read the third book.
