Apocalypse Thoughts (The Pox Series Book 5) by Kendra Griffin – Review by Ashleyann Sanabria

Apocalypse Thoughts by Kendra Griffin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I had no expectations going into this book, but I loved it all the same. The real question is: is this book fantasy based on the current global pandemic, or a prediction on what is to come? Here is to hoping is the former!

Kella is such a relatable protagonist, and the relationship she shares with Huck is really sweet. Every character in this story is intriguing and well written, and there were several scenes that had my heart pounding! Kella survived a pandemic and now is on a mission with her cousin and brother. During her spring break, the pandemic takes a turn and she’s left facing hardships that no teenager could have ever expected. Meanwhile she is struggling to keep herself sane, her anxiety at bay, and herself and her family safe. It would be a lot for anyone, but especially a teenage girl. The “Hyenas” as she calls them sound terrifying, and you really never know who to trust. I definitely am looking forward to the next in the series. Though it does not sound like The Pox Ward has the same characters, I am definitely planning to get into more work from this author, so I will start there!

If you like dystopian YA with no heavy romances and a strong relatable character, and coming of age meets The Walking Dead, then give this book a shot!
