Both of these moments left me shocked and rather annoyed, though in general the book was interesting and fun! I have to say, that I am excited for book two, because I need to know what will happen next…especially with the way the book ends. Towards the end, when she reaches Rule, she finds love once again with a nervous and secretive boy, Chris, who she must leave while trying to free herself. 49: 50: 51: 52: 53: 54: 55: 56: 57: Small World by David Mack Malefictorum by Terri Osborne Lost Time by Ilsa J.

I rather liked this book, though it could have been upsetting in parts, like when she was torn from Ellie and Tom. Alex must fend for herself in the wilderness, a world filled with fear, suspense and devastation, a world that could be ours at any moment. Bick is a child psychiatrist, as well as a film scholar, surgeon wannabe, former Air Force major, and an award-winning, best-selling author of short stories, e-books, and novels.

Alex teams up with 8-year-old Ellie and 20-year-old Tom, who form a make-do family, and are then torn viciously apart. There are so many near brushes with death that, at times, danger becomes tedious and expected, losing some tension. Ashes by Ilsa Bick, the first book in the Ashes trilogy, takes place in the present, when 17-year-old Alex hikes up a mountain to try and clear her head, but is brought to a sickening stop by a crushing force that wipes out anyone over 60 and leaves the survivors with either a supernatural sense…or a taste for human flesh.
