The Blood Will Dry

By: Kate L. Mary

Narrated by: Natalie Duke

Five years after an alien invasion, the Earth is unrecognizable. The human race has been decimated and the sun completely blotted out by dark clouds that bring constant rain. All indigenous plant life has been killed off and replaced by vegetation that has proven to be as deadly as it is invasive, and the aliens that have taken over the planet are seemingly invincible.

Living in a crowded building with other survivors, Diana Foster wants nothing more than to forget what she lost the day the aliens arrived. But an incoming platoon brings a familiar face, one that not only opens old wounds, but also forces her to deal with the painful memories she's worked hard to forget. Bryan may not be the same cocky kid he was before the invasion, but his sudden appearance still turns Diana's world upside down in ways she never expected. When he showed up she knew it would mean finally facing her past, but she never thought she’d find a future that was actually worth living.

After years of struggling to find a weakness in the aliens' defenses, Diana stumbles upon a solution just as a new and more deadly threat surfaces. Faced with an attraction she never expected and a battle that most believe can't be won, Diana must work through her painful past as the survivors mount a battle that may determine the fate of mankind. If her plan fails it very well could be the end of humanity, but if works it will mean having a real future, and a chance to allow the blood to dry once and for all.

I absolutely loved this book and definitely a 5* but I would have loved an epilogue or a "5 years later" kinda thing as there's not a second book as of this writing. Otherwise excellent job 👍

**Another Great Post-Apocalypse By Kate L. Mary**

Kate L. Mary was once again able to deliver a unique post-apocalypse book. I really enjoyed this book and couldn't put it down. We start this book at the beginning of the end of everything. Diana loses everything dear to her in a blink of an eye. The book then hops forward 5 years after aliens have not only taken over earth but also terraformed it to a unrecognizable and dangerous place. Diana still has not dealt with her tremendous loss and is pretty closed off to everyone including her best friend. She is forced to confront her past when one day a person from her past walks in the front door and needs answers.

This story has it all action, adventure, love and loss. I really liked the narration and definitely suggest you try this book out!

Read and listened-Good!

I love this story. I read it and now have listened to it.
I have to say it brought me to tears when she talks about her child and losing her.
The hives were an exciting adventure!
There is excitement, adventure and romance.

I REALLY LIKED THIS, AND HOPE WE GET MORE!!

I thought this was a very well crafted world, with good characters...a little sexy time and a whole lot of alien weirdness!! Diana an her husband are young parents, then one day their world literally explodes...Diana is left alone in an alien invaded world and is just doing her best to survive...her and her best friend Daisy are in a secure location...surviving...and a troop of the resistance come through to rest and get cleaned up...he sees him,...her husbands brother and she has to relive that painful day again...but she also finds love!!! I hope we get a book 2!!!
