The 45th Parallel by T.S. Simons – Review by Shea Gilkerson

The 45th Parallel by T.S. Simons
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Seraphine and Caitlyn are sisters in a post apocalyptic world where people aren’t nearly as important as what is required for survival – including what they want or how they feel about their duties. They were turned into immune children by a previous regime who had a goal to repopulate their communities – their own, Lewis, consists of a dome underwater – the dome protects the humans from the infected water all around them.

Sera and Cait are smart young women and have dreams and desires – but how will they manage to escape their fates when they’re surrounded by water they can’t touch and the Nexus which was shut down by their own parents 14 years ago. Well…sounds like the best bet is to restart the Nexus!

This book isn’t really my normal read, but I enjoyed the range of emotions the girls felt as they made a plan and executed it. They discover a lot about themselves along the way and find lots of trouble, too. When they enter the Nexus, they find themselves in new communities they didn’t even know existed, and find both similarities and differences between the new communities they continue to locate. Will they be able to find their way home? Will they be able to keep the communities safe while they do so?
