T. C. Weber

Personally, if I’m going to read a book with politics as a main theme, satire is my preferred genre. This was an amazing book that had me giggling and laughing, while also highlighting the importance of grassroots movements in the face of bureaucracy. The story was woven together nicely, with great character, incompetent government, and real issues facing natural habitats. Weber has a talent for making issues one might face in real-life entertaining and less frustrating for the reader (although at times very frustrating for the MCs). You’ll easily get lost in the pages of this book, and I finished it in the space of an afternoon. Highly recommend!… (more)

Set in a dystopic novel, Lucy and her young daughter live with a small group of people. The leader is determined to survive, and uses violence to control her group and displace others. When a storm floods their home, they are forced to leave and seek a different path.

This was an odd book. The world and its back-story did not feel well developed. The characters personalities and their actions did not always gel, making the book feel very discordant. Overall, not a book that I would re-read or recommend.… (more)

Thought provoking, Chilling, Enthralling!

I personally would consider this novella what I call a slow burn, it was interesting & captivating to start and suddenly before you knew it bam it had become a full blown inferno!

I absolutely fell in love with the main characters of both Lucy & Irma I kind of picture them like the angel & devil sitting on your shoulders in my opinion both are necessary for survival in a post-apocalyptic world to a certain degree. I would never want to lose my humanity but my main purpose and role would be the safety of my children much as Lucy, therefore I would always try to first make some sort of contract and see if other people were friendly & or open to our groups joining but if they were not and they were a threat to my children or their safety you can bet your butt I'd gutt em like a fish! Anything for the lives of my children they are not only my children but the future of the human race!

This novella is very thought provoking as you can see from my last comments. It makes you wonder what you would & wouldn't be able to do to survive, to do to another human being, for the survival of your children, what kind of & how much abuse you could take for the safety of your children and so much more. Will our world truly end like this? Has this already begun? Earthquakes, tsunamis, wildfires, more frequent & intense drought, heat waves, storms, melting glaciers, rising sea levels & warming oceans as well as ocean acidification! Is it to late to save our planet as well as our wildlife?

This story was full of action, adventure and also character driven. However it could be considered a tad on the violent side and also be put in the "horror" category for certain aspects as well. Also something that I loved was T.C. Weber is very graphic in describing some scenes I could see perfectly in my mind what I was reading and it was brilliantly bloody! Bravo

I will be rating this a 5/5 star I loved the storyline, the characters were well developed, I couldn't wait to find out what happened next & was intrigued & impressed with how the story developed throughout I also loved the way the story ended.

I would like to thank LibraryThing, Early Reviewers, Solstice Publishing as well as T.C. Weber for the ARC of this very interesting and thought provoking novella. I wrote this review by choice and was under no obligation to do so, all thoughts & opinions are my own.… (more)
