Summary:
The end of the world is not glamorous. In a matter of days the human race was reduced to nothing more than vicious, flesh hungry creatures. This three part story takes you into the world of the survivors, coming from different generations and different sides of the tracks, they all share one thing in common: who you once were can no longer determine who you will be in the face of catastrophe.
Samson, a once wealthy and powerful criminal defense attorney struggles to keep his family safe and keep his sanity intact when the world comes apart at the seams. Veronica, the high school track star races to get her brother out of the city and into the safety of Franklin Woods. Along the way we come across the struggles of finding solace, finding out who you really are, and making decisions in a post apocalyptic world. The Breadwinner is a three part story and the first book in a planned series that will leave you craving more.
Brandi's Review:
Have you ever wondered if everyone you knew suddenly started getting "sick" how you would react? If the world around you suddenly went into panic mode because of this sickness, would you panic also? While everyone else seems to be eating each other, we meet a group of fighters. Sam was a lawyer before everyone went mad. He relied on his smooth talking to provide a lavish life for his wife and 2 children. Now, Sam has to become street smart or be eaten. Veronica was a normal high school girl who lived with her Dad and brother. Luckily, she was also on the track team which is a big advantage as she tries to stay alive. We watch as the world around them goes to hell. They both only know one thing to do.....survive. In a chance encounter, Sam and Veronica find each other and make a plan to get away from the area, hopefully to a place that is safe. Along the way, we meet Ben, Andrew, Clyde, and Jasmine. They all end up coming together to form the final group. A group that under normal circumstances would never have come together. The greatest question of all is who will survive and who will be eaten!
I really enjoyed reading this book. Even though it is a trilogy, I do believe it would also work as a stand alone without taking away from the story, which is refreshing because so many series leave on such a dramatic cliffhanger that you don't have much choice. I love that Stevie allows you to connect with the characters and decide for yourself if you want to find out what happens next.
I gave 4 stars!
