... Pre-apocalyptic days.
What a delight. This book was so good I couldn't put it down. B.B. Easton have crafted characters that were harmonized nicely with the atmosphere of the story. The inner monologue of Wes and Rain, and the way they acted was right on point with the way they should act at those kind of situations. This was my first read this month and my first apocalyptic romance this year.
Note: This is an apocalyptic dystopian romance.
"I want to remember this moment forever. Even if forever is only for tonight."
Praying for Rain is the first book in the Rain trilogy.
Everybody on Earth had constant nightmares about something deadly for almost a year now that was coming on April 23. Unfortunately, no one ever figured it out. Riots had begun, crime rates escalated, and people lost hope.
The story started three days before the apocalypse. Insert Rain. A girl who wasn't afraid of what was to come. She's going to die and there's nothing she could do but to wait. But hope blossomed when she met Wes, her captor. The boy who used her resources for his personal gain. Wes had a mission. Something that he should have found before April 23. As they both embarked on that discovery, feelings had grown. But for Wes, it was only a distraction. Having feelings for Rain couldn't survive him. Until it eventually changed.
“Our job … is to say fuck ’em and survive anyway. That’s it, Rain. That’s our only job."
I had a very enjoyable and great time with this one. I adored Wes and Rain so much. I was hooked by their push and pull relationship. I was attached by these characters denying to create romantic connection between them. It was just too easy to connect with them. I felt the emotions. The vulnerability. I felt the excitement and the terror of what was to come. Such a well-written book. Amazing world building. Straightway diving into the next one!
I recommend this to those who likes: B.B. Easton, apocalyptic dystopian, romantic fantasy, romantic suspense, enemies to lovers, friends to lovers, and a cliffhanger.
