Synopsis:
No one knows how the world will end.
On a secret compound in the Washington wilderness, Honey Juniper and her sisters are training to hunt, homestead, and protect their own.
Prepare for every situation.
But when danger strikes from within, putting her sisters at risk, training becomes real life, and only one thing is certain:
Nowhere is safe.
My Review: I really enjoyed this unique and insightful book! I loved the characters and their development. I felt the author capture the push and pull of sisterhood really well and the look into the life of a prepper was fascinating. I thought that setting and look into that subset of society added a good amount of interest to the book. I knocked off a star because though the book has a giant twist you can see it coming from the beginning and I spent a large part of the book waiting for it rather than focusing on what was going on. That could just be me though.
