My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is wonderful on so many levels. You are grabbed from the beginning right into the story of Amy wanting to figure out who her dad is and finding she has magic powers. The story is so well-written. Amy is a teen trying to figure out her life, which isn’t easy because she is learning she isn’t what she thought she was. She will be on a journey to discover herself with the help of people in her town, her family and her BFF, Petey. You can’t help but relate to her teen angst. The author did a bang-up job of keeping things running smooth. The author also has slipped some climate thoughts and political thoughts in there. Reading about Bobby describe life at Bear Lake and loss of nature around it, you get a little lesson in climate change. I found it intriguing. It puts another perspective on loss of nature. We are losing some of our nature. The political items in there were spot on. I think it helped pull the story into today. Though I don’t agree with some of the messages, I did find they just fit in well with the story and the hunt for those with magic. This is a really good book. Great for young adults but adults just may enjoy it too.

This is an apocalyptic dystopian tale set in a small town with fairies and other magical creatures but not as we know them. They are a mixture of what one would consider “traditional” but that is the beauty of fiction, they can be whatever strikes the author. This author writes so that her words are easily imagined and brought to life. It is a story of those struggling for survival in a world where the militia rule. One young woman wants to know her other half, where she came from. Especially when she realises that magic is real and not just some rumour the militia spread.

Captivating. Imaginative. Angsty.

Those are the three words I would use to describe Amy’s journey to finding a relationship with her father. She flies through her town searching for answers and trying to solve adult problems all while trying to balance high school. She does all of it with a smile on her face.

I enjoyed reading this book. It kept my attention. I wanted to keep flipping to the next page. The second book to this duology was my favorite out of the two. I enjoyed the drama between Amy and her Evil Step Dad. It was entertaining to watch Bobby try to become a father. The relationship between Taylor and Bobby is always sweet to watch. I feel as though Sally was a bit too headstrong in this one but I enjoyed watching her grow as a character. Overall this book was like watching a comfortable sitcom on a Sunday night.

This is just a side-not to the author. A few of the names got switched around in the second book. Mrs. Allen’s name and Bryan’s name got switched around to Ryan. There were a couple of grammar and spelling problems that made it hard to read at times. This doesn’t take away from my review at all, I just wanted to let the author know!

I am not one who strays at all from reading this amazing author, I always find myself hooked so easily in any of their books they write, they know how to keep the reader interested, and really pull you into the world of the story. I loved the flow of this one, there was tons of surprises ​down this rabbit hole to say the least.

I think I can speak for just about any of us that to our family there is a lot of questions sand self wonder. In this one we follow the foot prints that lead our heroine to he truth of her family and what was, and perhaps even what is. I was astounded as I read through, and especially as things got exposed to say and come to the light. The tale was gripping and full of amazement at every turn. This was a book I could not stray from, and honestly very enjoyable. I would say one of my top ones by this wonderful author. Truly not an author or book to be passed up!

Again, I am a true fan of this author. I enjoy their books always as they are all different I a special way. This one by fa, really excelled and fascinated me in a new light. Seriously read this one! Highly recommend this book and author, defiantly!

I enjoyed this suspenseful story. This is not my first book by this author but it is one of my favorites by her yet. I enjoyed being pulled into the story by the author’s use of details to make the story realistic. It is a well written story that was not only hard to put down but also engaging. It is fast paced and full of action. This is a story about family, secrets and trust. It is a story that will pull at your heart strings in parts and leave you sitting on the edge of your seat the next. I enjoyed how the characters are relatable and brought the story to life for me. They are strong, determined and have a touch of magic as well. This is a story where searching for a dad becomes more than what this character was expecting. What happens next I highly recommend reading this book. It has great plot growth as well as character growth throughout the story. This is worth the pick up and you don’t want to miss it.

Wild Hare’s Daughter (Wild Hares) by Laura Koerber
Genre – magical realism, dystopia, family relationships
Page Count – 234 pages

My mother would never tell me who my dad was, but I found out anyway. In a town of only eight hundred people, most of them not in the right age range to be my dad, how hard was it going to be?
That was back before I started flying. I was obsessed with wondering who Daddy Dear was until random incidences of spontaneous levitation changed my perspective.
So…before I started flying, I thought the militia was just a bunch of assholes who were spreading rumors about magic to cover up their incompetence, but once I started flying, I saw things differently. Flying meant that magic was real, and therefore it was logical that magic was involved in the jail break and the congressman’s disappearance. And that meant I was not the only one who had magic. Someone else in my town had magic too.
This book is a dystopia/magical realism novel set in the near future. There’s some political satire, some swearing, some recreational drug use, some crime, but mostly it’s a story about trust, secrets, and love.

Apocalypse Thoughts was an amazing story! This book follows a 17 year old girl, her younger brother, and their older cousin as they try to navigate a “hyena filled world“. Our main character is extremely relatable to multiple age ranges. Her wit and inner monologue was both hilarious and sad at the same time. The storyline was fast paced and kept my interest through the entire book! I can not wait to see more from this author!

This was such a fun and different read then what I would generally read.

Spring Break in Georgia for Kella O’ Malley turns deadly when people start to become cannibals.

Time is ticking to deliver something important on the path of the Appalachian Trail, with the help of other people she may be able to keep herself and little brother alive.

This reminded me of ‘The Walking Dead’ meets ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ which is one of my favorite shows. I don’t care for zombies too much but the premise was something I could not resist.

Being set during a pandemic also gives the impression of the COVID pandemic that we are currently still presently in or this could be a future where zombies exist. There are so many stories and tv shows about zombies and with each one, I know I do not wish to be apart of it. And if I am, I can hope I can be similar to Kella as far as her role.

I think this was written well and kept me engaged. I recommend for people looking for something different to read.

This was an incredible read. Perfect read for all the mess going on now. It was written so well. Kella and Huck’s relationship just makes your heart happy. The sibling dynamic is such a refreshing change to majority YA books. I need to read the next one so bad! It will having you laughing along with the characters. The banter is amazing! The humor just makes it feel real in what could be scary reality. Each character just flows so well with each other.

Fantastic

This book was fanatical. I couldn’t put it down and read it the entire day. I won’t give spoilers but Kella and Huck are my two favorite characters. Both are neurodivergent and I love the draw that Huck’s character does to me. I hate when books leave off for an ending such as this one but I cannot wait to read the next in the series and I’ll read the prequel in the meantime. Will Huck, Jumper, Kella and the rest of the team make it to Stella with the data need with the cure? This author draws you in and has you wanting more within the first few pages.

When I first started reading this book, I was so drawn to the story about a post pandemic world while living in an active pandemic world. As the story went along, I was more drawn to the character of Kella’s brother, Huck and how he interacted with the world around him. The details of the entire story not just the visual world but the internal thought process and emotions she was experiencing as she was traveling with her cousin, younger brother and other trail hikers helped me fully submerge into the store. This is a great book!

This is my first book by this author and she didn’t disappoint me because the story about the end of the world has me hooked. Could be because of the world dealing with Covid recently so it feels like we’re never going back to the way it was before. We are trying to survive the changes that are happening. I was sitting on the edge of my seat reading this book. I couldn’t put it down. I love the siblings Kella and Huck. I really enjoyed that there wasn’t really heavy romance and that there was ore to the book. Definitely look forward to reading book 2 if there is one.

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!

I could not stop reading this book. The author writes perfectly for a YA read. The main character, Kella O’Malley, is definitely a well-formed teen character. There is nothing worse than teenage hormones, except for maybe growing up during a time where people are crazy from a disease and others try to eat you alive! Growing up on the Appalachian mountains myself, I loved the author’s description of the journey as well. The fact that Kella is also trying to take care of her “autistic” brother during all this makes it such a great read. The characters’ thoughts are well thought out and formed. The author did a fabulous job of keeping Kella’s character presented as a true teen living in a terrible time.

I can’t say enough about this book. Kella, the main character is a snarky, brutally honest girl who we hear all of her inner thoughts and feelings and internal monologs throughout this story and it truly is what makes this story the masterpiece that it is.

Her fierce protection of Huck, her brother who is unique in his world views is an added conflict while they try to traverse the Appalachian trail with something that might just save the world from a virus gone awry turning humans into virus spreaders in one bite.

in our current covid world this story is compelling and the cliffhanger you are left on is a powerful one making you want so much more. you won’t be able to put this one down!.

Apocalypse Thoughts is a wonderfully written, witty, and easy to read Young Adult book. All of the characters, especially Kella, are so easy to like and feel like you know personally. The relationship between Kella and her brother Huck is wonderful and honestly refreshing. As these teens trek through the Appalachian Mountains to carry CDC data north out of Georgia, they learn many valuable life lessons. They are stronger than they think, braver than they’ve ever had to be, and truly care about each other. Not only is this story action-packed, it can be used to teach young adults that not every task is easy but if you work hard at being a valuable member of a solid team, you can just about accomplish anything! The author hits a home run with her writing style and storytelling and I am looking forward to reading the prequel to this book, The Pox Ward.

Kella and her brother Huck are very interesting characters for a post apocalyptic world book. As characters who never really become those end of the world trained killers, it’s refreshing to read about people that would be like they are in every day life. Jumper it’s one to keep a lot of secrets and it’s shocking to see each new one revealed. Kella’s journaling in the trail log books would be something I would look for at each stop of I were in their world. A new take on an old genre, very good!

I didn’t know what I was expecting when I dove into this book but I wasn’t expecting to fall in love so quickly. I am sister to 6 siblings as well as lots of cousins who are like my siblings and I know how the interactions can go. Kella and Hucks Interactions felt as if I were watching (reading) my own. I didn’t expect to truly love the “world” you know it’s the apocalypse what’s there to love lol but it was just set and described so perfectly. I found myself rereading certain descriptions and interactions over again just to get a better sense. It’s a weird read in a way that the pandemic has affected us but not triggering to me at least. I highly recommend setting some time away and reading this all in one go.

Wow, I LOVED this book! There were many similarities to the world we are living in right now which made it interesting and also a little nerve wracking. A pandemic hits the United Stated and Kella, Huck, and Jumper need to get CDC data north to help save the mutations. So they start hiking the Appalachian Trail. I loved the characters and their personalities! Kella writes in log books and draws fun stick figure drawings while trying to figure out who she is. Her brother Huck is on the spectrum and compares the hike and their world to a video game with constant chatter and updates. They meet up with other survivors and hike and hike. The setting is described in great detail, the characters have great traits and personalities, and the twists and turns are constant. I LOVED this book and read way too late into the night hoping I wouldn’t have nightmares about “hyenas” coming after me!

Based in a post-pandemic world where everything seems out to get you, we meet Kella. A sassy girl who is trying to keep her brother alive and navigate the drama associated with transitioning to adulthood in an apocalyptic world. The range of characters and Kella’s dialogue made for a funtastic read. I didn’t realise going in that this was a part of a series but that did not seem to matter. My favourite part would have to be Kella’s relationship with her brother Huck. It was just totally awesome. Brilliant book that I recommend.

Apocalypse Thoughts is the fifth book in the Pox Series by Kendra Griffin. This is a young adult story that has entertained me as an adult. I would say this book could be for fifth grade and older. The story is a dystopian, post-apocalyptic adventure story. I love Ms.Griffin’s storytelling abilities. She created a world in which I was pulled in to experience with Kella. Kella is an amazingly strong character. She joins a group of tweens and early twenty-year-old characters. She is to carry data from the CDC to the northern Appalachian Trail. What will Kella run into on her journey? Those who travel with Kella will assist her in her quest? I highly suggest this book to find out these answers and more.

Apocalypse Thoughts is the second book in the Pox Series, but can definitely be read as a standalone. It’s set in a world which was recovering from a smallpox-based global pandemic, but then was hit by a new and deadlier wave. The story follows a quest through the Appalachian Trail, narrated by unlikely heroine Kella whose main goal is keeping her brother alive.
Kella’s brother, Huck, is my favourite character. He’s neurodivergent and brings a great perspective to things with coping mechanisms such as using video game metaphors to make sense of the situation they’re in, and entertaining everyone by retelling the entirety of the MCU. I like that Kella and Huck stand up for each other, even when they’re often frustrated with each other as well.
This is definitely not an escapist book for readers wanting to forget about COVID for a bit. But that said, it’s a chance to explore somewhere new from the safety of your home, and will make you grateful that at least we don’t have to deal with zombies!
I would recommend this for teen and young adult readers – it gets quite gory and violent at times so would not be suitable for younger readers. Many of the characters have experienced the loss of someone close to them – parents, siblings, grandparents – and at times they discuss how this has affected them.
This book gets five stars from me! It’s great if you’re looking for a story that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

A book which strikes the chord in this pandemic times, Apocalypse Thoughts is centered around a girl Kella and how she encounters the pandemic which has taken over the world and save her dear ones.
A pandemic has made humans mutate into cannibals, and no one knows what caused this or how fast the mutation spreads.
Kella wants to save herself and her brother Huck from the pandemic. Both of them along with her cousin Jumper start hiking on the Appalachian trials armed with a very important information that can change everything. They must hike as fast as they can and stay ahead of the infected people, called the Hyenas. There are tons of things which could go wrong including shortage of food and water.
Kella keeps a running log of all the challenges she faces as they escape the Hyenas and try to stay ahead of the race and just live. This is a story of courage and bravery and we all can relate to this in our current Pandemic. The narrative is gripping and can be easily read. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

Apocalypse Thoughts was a great book, I didn’t want to put it down. It is the 2nd book in the Pox Series, but I didn’t read the first. I was worried I wouldn’t understand what was going on, but that was not the case at all. The author did a great job filling the book with so much vivid detail. Think of it as COVID 19 times combined with every zombie movie out there… but with humor. The book follows a group of teens/early 20s as they navigate through the Appalachian trail during an apocalypse. The book is told from Kella’s point of view and I love the way she describes things. With her on the adventure is her brother and her cousin. Along the way they join up with a couple other people, who leave, but reconnect. The book is fascinating and I love the imagery. I was able to envision what the kids are going through, and the terms they came up with perfectly fit what we are “seeing.” The ending was a total cliff hanger, which was pretty upsetting to me. I kept looking at what I had left, and where the kids were on their journey, and thought it would wrap up nicely. Wrong. There better be another book ASAP!

One thing that sucks me into a story more than anything is the voice of the writing, whether that is through a narrator or the character itself, and the relatability of the characters themselves. In Apocalypse Thoughts, we follow teen, Kella, and her younger brother Huck as they try to make their way up North without dying from starvation, dehydration or a plethora of other things that could go wrong. The sassiness and sarcasm in Kella is so relatable, it’s a breath of fresh air to read a story from a teens perspective and the character actually sounds like a teen. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, and now find myself wanting to go back and read the first book in this series! I highly recommend this book if you enjoy dystopian thrillers featuring misfits just trying to survive and finish their quest without being turned feral.
