Shadows (Ashes, #2)

by Ilsa J Bick

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.

Uhhh. The last part of this book was definitely action packed. But honestly? I was pretty disappointed with the whole thing. So many characters. So many different POV's. So many people I just: Did. Not. Care. About.

I struggled reading Peter's and Chris's POV's, and even the other POV to be honest. The whole time I read this book I just kept thinking "Get back to Alex's POV!". And because I was having such a hard time remembering who was who I was constantly being pulled out of the story to try and figure everything out.

Since there's only one more book in the series I will definitely be reading it. Hopefully I'll enjoy it a whole lot more - but at this stage I'm not putting any bets on it...
