Fourth Period's Reading Reviews by Jennifer Rivas https://padlet.com/jennifer_rivas/k644qa8rp2gl en-us 2018-02-20 20:37:36 UTC 2025-04-22 19:17:09 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Alarmclock.png In the After by Demetria Lunetta jennifer_rivas https://padlet.com/jennifer_rivas/k644qa8rp2gl/wish/233509159        It's the end of the world. "They" have taken over and only a few lucky ones have survived including Amy. She is resourceful, brave, and intelligent. In a world where you must focus on yourself and survival first, Amy opens her heart to a toddler who she finds, helps keep alive, and loves.
       Shockingly, they are rescued and taken to a New Hope. At first it seems like a haven for survivors but soon they discover that New Hope is not all that it seems. The question becomes who's more dangerous: the "monsters" on the outside who devour humans as meals or the "monsters" on the inside whose disturbed moral compass leads to corruption and death. 
5 Stars-If you like post-apocalyptic thrillers, brave protagonists, and a hint of romance, you will love this book!
