My Thought:
I am late posting this review, and I am only about half way through it! We had a busy week this week, and I had a bit of trouble engaging in this book. Unfortunately, I've read novels focusing on surviving an EMP, and just wasn't in the mood for another one. I liked the different view points that we were given. It did create a more fresh approach to the topic. I also appreciated the Christian worldview, with characters turning to prayer in various situations. I hope to finish it this week, but have another crazy week planned, so I can't promise anything!!

More from Linore
When my sweet historical romance series was published, I never dreamed my next would be YA/dystopian. What a switch in genres! So, how did I go from one end of the writing spectrum to another? Blame it on an idea that refused to die. I read a headline about how close the earth came to suffering a catastrophic electromagnetic pulse, or EMP, in 2012. We missed the worst effects of a solar flare by a hair (in space terms); but the “what if” factor had been set in motion. What if that flare hadn’t missed us? What if I was a teen raised on electronics–or an adult medically dependent on them–and it all went dead in a matter of seconds? What if the next flare doesn’t miss? PULSE, the first book in my PULSE EFFEX Series, was born.
The books shows life in the aftermath of such an event for three teens and their families. With the world plunged into a new dark age, can they keep hope alive?
