Resurrection
Horror-Roman von Michael J. Totten
Welcome to a world turned to ashes. Annie Starling is missing her memory of the last eight weeks—the most devastating in history. It started in Russia and went global in a matter of days, the most virulent virus the world has ever known. It’s stripping its victims of every last thing that makes them human. And that’s just the beginning. The other survivors are no less dangerous than the infected. She meets Lane, who stops at nothing to assert power and control over everybody who’s left; Kyle, who dreams of building a new world upon the ruins of the old; Hughes, who lost the ability to feel after burying his family; and Parker, who threatens to tear himself and his companions apart.

I was not disappointed. Highly recommended.“ (Leser) (90 Rezensionen / 4,0 Sterne), 315 Seiten – noch gratis?

Sie gehören zueinander, Nancy und Nicole – Mutter und Tochter. Sie sind zwei Hälften einer ganzen Existenz, zwei Facetten des gleichen Atems – bis Nicole ausatment … und nie wieder einatmet. „I really enjoyed this book. I felt the author was so candid, without coming across as whining (even though she has good reason to complain and whine). It just helped me stay focused on what she was actually saying. I found her relationship with Nicole and her own mother, and adopted mother absolutely beautiful. I thought the author did a great job conveying emotions and experiences she had throughout her life and the grieving process.“ (Leserin) (335 Rezensionen / 4,4 Sterne), 228 Seiten – noch gratis?
