Story4.5 out of 5 stars 525
It's been three months since Amy escaped New Hope. Since she's seen Baby, or Kay, or Rice. And she's been surviving on her own, like she did before she was "rescued" and taken to what she thought was a safe haven. Then, in the midst of foraging for supplies, her former fellow Guardian's voice rings out in her earpiece. And in a desperate tone, Kay utters the four words Amy had hoped she would never hear: Dr. Reynolds has Baby.

Sylvie Rossi has the loner thing down pat, with the exception of her best friend, Grace. But when the two are trapped in a hospital during the last gasp of a dying city, alone time is no longer an option. A nurse's offer of sanctuary promises Sylvie the supplies she needs to survive the zombies - it's the coexisting with people that might do her in. Eric Forrest will do whatever it takes to get into the dead city for his sister, including ending up dead himself. He's used to taking risks, but with every mile he travels death looks likelier.

Cassie Forrest isn't surprised to learn that the day she’s decided to get her life together is also the day the world ends. After all, she’s been on a self-imposed losing streak since her survivalist parents died: she’s stopped painting, broken off her engagement to Adrian and dated a real jerk. Rectifying her mistakes has to wait, however, because Cassie and her friends have just enough time to escape Brooklyn for her parents’ cabin before Bornavirus LX turns them into zombies, too.

When people started getting sick, they thought it was just the flu. My roommate, my boyfriend, my family ...they're all gone now. I got sick too. I should have died with them-with the rest of the world-but I didn't. I thought witnessing the human population almost disappear off the face of the earth was the craziest thing I'd ever experience. I was so wrong. My name is Dani O'Connor, I'm twenty-six-years-old, and I survived the ending.

Lauren Russell often wondered why her father had been so adamant about teaching her skills that most other fathers wouldn't even consider teaching their daughters. Ever since she was little, she had been taught how to live and survive outdoors, and how to use firearms to protect herself and those around her. Some of the training had been a bit extreme. Or had it been? Many of her questions were answered the day the world as she knew it ended.

It spread fast - no time to understand it - let alone learn how to fight it. Once it reached you, it was too late. All you could do is run. Rumored safe zones and potential for a cure drifted across the populace, forcing tough decisions to be made. They say only the strong survive. Well, they forgot about the smart, the inventive, and the lucky.

For dinosaurs, it was a big rock. For humans: Coronal Mass Ejection (CME). When the Earth is hit by the greatest CME in recorded history (several times larger than the Carrington Event of 1859), the combined societies of the planet's most developed nations struggle to adapt to a life thrust back into the Dark Ages. In the United States, the military scrambles to speed the nation's recovery on multiple fronts including putting down riots, establishing relief camps, delivering medical aid, and bringing communication and travel back on line. Just as a real foothold is established in retaking the skies (utilizing existing commercial aircraft supplemented by military resources and ground control systems), a mysterious virus takes hold of the population, spreading globally over the very flight routes that the survivors fought so hard to rebuild.

Publisher's Summary
Attack.
Not isolated.
Fate of Americans: unknown.
Amy is watching TV when the world is attacked by Them. Most of the population is overtaken, but Amy manages to survive - and even rescue "Baby" - a toddler she finds in an abandoned supermarket.
Then, after years of hiding, they are miraculously rescued and taken to New Hope, a colony of survivors living in a former government research compound. While at first the colony seems like a dream, with plenty of food, safety, and shelter, New Hope slowly reveals that it is far from ideal. And Amy soon realizes that unless things change, she'll lose Baby - and much more.
You'll tear through the pulse-pounding narrow escapes and horrifying twists of fate in this thrilling debut from author Demitria Lunetta.

Riveting New Series
This is a thoroughly enjoyable science fiction/post apocalypse story of survival and morality. I stayed up late a couple of nights glued to the headphones needing to know what happens next. There are lots of plot twists, some you might see coming and some you don’t. I am really looking forward to the next book in the series. Don’t miss this.

From fantastic to done before
3.5
I was riveted the entire way through. The books is kind of in 3 parts. The first part with the aliens arriving and Amy learning to survive by being quiet, not talking for years, the alien attacks and behavior. It was brilliant.
When they are rescued and brought to New Hope, I was so angry at the people in charged, at Amy's treatment there. My blood was on fire the entire time. I felt like Amy should have been a little more stealthy as she discovered what was really going on, as to not get caught. The ultimate reveals of the why behind everything (aliens, New Hope) left me disappointed. It's all been done before. Although this is done really well. Amy is a solid character, smart and strong and I definitely rooted for her. But I was so enraged at certain characters, at her treatment, that I don't know if I'll read the next one. It was a little over the top or I just don't like the way I felt so angry.
Julia Whelan is always a great narrator choice.

If you could sum up In the After in three words, what would they be?
awesome new series
What about Julia Whelan’s performance did you like?
i thought she did a good job. She put emotion into it, and thats has a lot to do with how much you are going to enjoy the book. I don't care how great a book is; if you have a bad narrater, you can't enjoy the book.

OK not just another "end of times" story
Would you listen to In the After again? Why?
I don't listen to books after I have heard them. Not yet, anyway.
Would you be willing to try another book from Demitria Lunetta? Why or why not?
Absolutely. Literate, lively, she brings the characters to live, although the current trend to making the proantagonist is stories "niave" and "unable to see the forrest for the trees" tends to be irksome.
This story is no exception, but hey, it comes with the territory.
Which scene was your favorite?
When the truth of where and what the real issue was. Compelling listening to be sure.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Sometimes abit gruesome, and some funny dialogue.
Any additional comments?
The highlight of this presentation is the performance by Julia Whelan. Stunning. Full of emotion, authenticity, creativity and flexibility. I recommend her work highly, and notably in this environment.
For an end of times presentation, recommended, esp. the reading.

Pulls you in and grabs your heart
If you could sum up In the After in three words, what would they be?
Addictive, dystopian, apocalyptic
What other book might you compare In the After to and why?
Until The End of The World by Sarah Lyons Fleming
Any additional comments?
At first I was worried that there wouldn't be a lot of character development in this book because there was only one character! But it progressed and I couldn't stop listening. The people in this story were so real, so human and their struggles, decisions and mistakes were beautifully portrayed. I bonded to these characters as they bonded to each other.
It reminds me of Until The End of The World by Sarah Lyons Fleming which I thought was slightly better because it details a more believable and relatable life. Both books are filled with human emotion, struggle, hope and a little romance.
Julia Whelan is the perfect narrator for both books.

Not Bad! Strange and Unique....refreshing!
Hard to find a interesting post apocalyptic story with "monsters" (e.g., zombies, humans, or other). In the After is a unique surprisingly interesting tale of survival and fear. The monsters or whatever they are are frightening. I cannot say too much as the book will be ruined for those who are interested in listening to it. I will say this book was hard to put down. Worth the credit!
The narration is very good. The character development is superb. The tone and dialogue is spot on.

A different direction
As far as apocalypse fiction goes, I really enjoyed this! It goes in a different direction from the other zombie novels I've listened to, and of course Julia Whelan is an excellent narrator. I will definitely be getting the sequel. There are no boring sections of this novel. I definitely recommend it.

Look out! They are everywhere...
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
If you are looking for a fun, easy read (listen) and enjoy post apocalyptic type stories then "In the After" is a great choice.
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
As a stand alone book, I found the ending disappointing. I wanted more. I'm hoping that this book planned to be or turns into a series. I would love to know what is in store for Amy next. It didn't feel complete to me...
What about Julia Whelan’s performance did you like?
I actually purchased this audiobook because Julia Whelan was the narrator. I have listened to other audiobooks that she has performed and she is an amazing storyteller. I wanted to listen to more of her work and that is how I found this book. If you haven't had the opportunity to listen to Julia Whelan you should. She is awesome!!
Did In the After inspire you to do anything?
Stock up on candy bars, canned ravioli and instant coffee! You never know;)
Any additional comments?
I really enjoyed this book. Its a fun, easy read (listen) and an interesting story. I think it is an excellent debut novel.

Not my cup of tea
I love a zombie book but after listening to five chapters I really couldn't see myself liking it. Maybe it's more of a teenagers book.

Enjoyable listen
Different to what I normally listen to. At first I thought I wouldn't enjoy it. But found myself totally engrossed in the story and didn't want it to end.
