Killshot

Icarus Series, Book 1

De: Aria Michaels

Narrado por: Rhiannon Angell

When 17 year old Liv Larson and her brother are sent to separate foster homes, she becomes content with her isolation and dedicates her every breath to getting him back. After months of solitude and anti-social behavior, Liv's best friend Riley drags her to a Rooftop Party to view Icarus (the once in a lifetime solar flare) where Liv finds herself inexplicably drawn to Zander James, the mysterious boy with the crooked smile.

For a few hours, Liv's troubles finally feel a bit less overwhelming-that is until what should have been a small flare erupts into a massive solar storm forcing them all to seek shelter in the school's basement. Cut off from the rest of the world and with no signs of rescue, fear and paranoia set in and battle lines are drawn, dividing their ranks. What is left the group must embark on a perilous journey to save one of their own and find their families... but, something sinister awaits them in the shadows and it's undeniably connected to Liv.

Can Liv keep her promise to reunite with her brother? What are she and her friends willing to do to survive? Will their bravery and determination be enough to save them all from a rogue government, a terrifying virus, and the things that go bump in the night…Or was Icarus, indeed, The Killshot?

Great read

Any additional comments?

The audible book was gifted to me in exchange for a review.

This book really starts off grabbing the reader. I found the storyteller's voice, Liv, to be compelling. She has a way of dropping in parts of her story without inundating the readers. The set up is great and then when you think everything is going to be honky-dory, it all takes off.

A+ for a unique storyline, set apart from the typical. And also, I loved the pacing of this book. It kept me busy while I worked out, which a huge thank you to the reader. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves a great dystopian/fantasy novel. Although keep in mind that it is really dark at times.
Really looking forward to second installment.

mainly a note for myself

It is started off great. However, once I realized there was likely to be a lot of angst and sorrow, I decided I didn't want to read it. I think if you like apocalyptic stories, this would be a winner. Just not the type of story I enjoy spending time on. I'm more of a vamp/were person.

Loved this book!

I loved Aria Michaels' take on a end of the world apocalypse. I was sucked in from page one and instantly fell in love with thw characters. Riley, Liv's best friend is so much fun and is exactly what Liv needs. After the last page I was ledt wanting the next book to see what heppens next. Highly recommend!

Can't get away from zombies

This was a good book until it turned into a zombie book. I hate zombies but take them out and the book is good. Up in the air if I'll read next book
