5 Stars

Ouroboros is my favorite installment of the Antipodes series so far. The intensity never stops! I absolutely love it! So far each book has upped the Ante and Ouroboros was no different! T.S. Simons has kept me on the edge of my seat for all three books and I can’t wait for more! She creates such a vivid and unique world, with a journey through romance and friendship, that just keeps you glued to the pages. Book 3 Ouroboros is a flawless continuation of Cam and Freyja’s story. It has everything you want in a book: tension, adventure, tests of friendship, danger, and romance. I can totally see this series being a big hit on Netflix! I highly recommend reading the Antipodes series in order to get the best experience possible from this amazing series! I can’t wait for what book 4, Caim, has in store!

I am obsessed with the Antipodes series and its ability to make you think about the important questions in life. If you had the opportunity to start over, would you? I couldn’t help but put myself in Cam’s shoes and relate to his character and emotions. T.S. Simons writes with such emotion it pulls you right in. If you love any sort of dystopian sci-fi you will absolutely love this series. It is delightfully unpredictable and deep. This installment, book two The Liminal space, has such a great and seamless flow from book one. I can’t wait to read the next book in this fantastic series, Ouroboros!

The 45th Parallel (Antipodes, #6)The 45th Parallel by T.S. Simons
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The 45th Parallel is from the viewpoint of Freyja and Cam’s daughter, Caitlin. She is about to turn 21 and has a knack for mischief with her sister Seraphine. They are both special children with the ability to survive the protozoa including the infected water. Not surprisingly they are bored with their current lives and long for adventure. They want to travel the world as their parents have. When their travels don’t go as planned they may have bitten off more than they can chew.

I enjoyed this new addition to the Antipodes Series. It is nice to learn how all the characters are doing after 14 years later. Cait’s point of view is that of a young adult trying to find her place in the world. I highly recommend reading this series!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

In the next installment of Antipodes, Caitlin and Seraphine are sisters who were created to be immune to the deadly protozoa that has ravaged the earth. Now adults, they struggle to find a place where they feel like they belong. Between causing men to get into a fight over one of them and illegally travelling between communities, the sisters are on a downward spiral. When they reactivate the Nexus to explore other communities, their luck only gets worse. When they meant to land on August Island, they land on an unknown community. A community they later find to be hostile. The hostile community finds them, and they are captured. Will Caitlin and Seraphine be able to escape? Do they ever get back to their family? Pick up a copy of The 45th Parallel and follow the sisters through peril.
T.S. Simons does not disappoint. I loved this book just as much as the others. The characters and their feelings are relatable. You can feel right along with them and envision their struggles and journey. I highly suggest reading the other books in the series prior to reading this one, although you could probably get by with just reading this one. T.S. Simons does a good job at providing the reader with necessary information from previous installments, but you will be missing some of the backstory.
The Antipodes series has an amazing storyline, full of interesting events and relatable characters. The 45th Parallel is no different. If you are looking for a story full of twists, turns, mystery, thrill, and romance, pick up a copy of Antipodes today.

Just when I thought it was over here comes book 6 and boy what a way to rebirth the series. I like how the author is yet again filled the characters with charisma. I love the chemistry between them. I am super excited to see just where this will lead.

There is truely a lovely balance of adventure,drama, and romance. I also like how the world is developing and the characters as well. I still feel so drawn into this series and I cannot wait to read what comes next.

Again we got to a point where the characters were feeling safe and bam. This author really knows how to get the twists and turns into her stories. I love how the characters develope and mature and how the drama isn’t overwhelmed by romance. The balance really is just right. By now though I am really amazed I was drawn into a dypstopian world and I really cannot put this book down.

I really started to feel the loss along with the characters and really wanted to have a happy ever after but not knowing if it would be. I found that the author was able to redevelop the world and create an even more challenging one. I really couldnt put it down and needed to see how it all would end.

Just when you think it is all safe and secure bam. Well this fourth book realy sort of throws a curveball at the characters. As with the past three books in the series they handle it with all the charisma and grace you expect. I realy like how the author draws out the series and uses twists and turns. This fourth book really drew me in.

The characters are drawn into a bit of a web and I love how the author is able to balance the romance and the drama whilst leading the reader through the story. I cannot say enough how I really felt as though I was right beside the characters. I truly got swept up in this world and could really feel how important the lessons the character’s learnt were.

This third book really starts to cement the series and there is a truely clearer picture as to what the author is trying to put across. There is a lot of chemistry between the characters and the scary reality of their world brings a lot into question. I really couldn’t put this book down either.

I was so amazed when I got lost in this dystopian world. The romance and drama and adventure are well balanced. The author really has a entwined this series nicely. The books have a real flow and as with the first two I cannot wait to read the next one. I am excited to see how all the drama will unfold.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love this series! This is the 6th book in the Antipodes series. I highly recommend reading the others, first. This would be a fine read by itself, but the entire experience is the recommended experience. Caitlin and Seraphine are sick and tired of doing whatever it is that they are told, and long to branch out and see different places, and do different things. They long to make their own decisions about their lives, so they set out on a journey that will challenge them. There is action, emotion, and great characters and development. This dystopian sci-fi adventure is not unimaginable in this day-and-age. It kept me glued to my seat and turning those pages! If you haven’t read any of this series, be prepared to dive in and spend some time. 5 stars.

The second book developes the story line further and we begin to see just what kind of world it is. The characters still have the chemistry and that also adds to the story. I like how the author begins to create the world even further and brings the reader into it.

There are beginning to have more twists and turns as the story progresses. The author does a wonderful job of creating a very colorfull world and characters. There is also a undertone of the story base and I this really had me not wanting to put this book down. I began to get a clearer thought process of this series. I really look forward to the next one.

I have to say I like to find new authors and I enjoy finding series that are not always in my go to genre. I do like the romance element of this series and the whole setting of the series really was well written and I for one felt as though I was right in the midst of it. I have not really read a lot of dystopian books but I was drawn into this one.

I like how the author builds the characters and how the story is carried out. The chemistry between what becomes the lead characters really adds to the story. The author does a great job of balancing the drama and the romance. The author does a great job of building the characters and showing why they are how they are. I thought that this first book was an excellent start to the series and I couldn’t wait to get to the next one.

The 45th Parallel (Antipodes, #6)The 45th Parallel by T.S. Simons
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The 45th Parallel is the sixth book in the Antipodes Series. This book follows many of the children of the individuals from the first five books in the series, but the main focus is on Caitlin and Seraphine. They were born with a specific goal in mind of repopulating the community and keep it immune from disease. Cait and Sera have been told all of their lives that is their destiny to do so but they want more from life than to breed and populate the community. They want adventure and choose to reactivate the Nexus in search of new communities and to see what else is out there. In doing so they get more than they bargained for and are suddenly swept up in events beyond their wildest imagination.

Cait and Sera find themselves in an underwater community where strict rules are in place to prevent overpopulation. The community is ruled with an iron fist and outsiders are forbidden. Cait and Sera do their best to remain hidden until they are able to travel back but one small mistake ends with them getting caught. Will they be able to escape back to the safety of their own community before it is too late?

This book was fantastic and I enjoyed how the author chose to tell the story of the children from the inhabitants of the community of Lewis. The characters were lovable, and the setting was an interesting spin to the story. Cait and Sera were strong willed, independent, feisty, and smart young ladies. All traits that they clearly inherited from their parents. The underwater community was a fascinating aspect to the story, and I enjoyed reading about how it worked. This entire series is a must read and I highly recommend it! You will find mystery, action, suspense, intrigue, love, romance, loss, and even murder. I highly recommend!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The residents of Lewis must do whatever they can to save the lives of their children after they receive some terrifying news. It is up to Illyria and Freyja to figure out who or what is threatening to destroy them and all they hold dear to them. Joining forces with both old and new friends they must eliminate the threat before it eliminates them. Will they be able to save the lives of their children in time?

This series has had me hooked from the first book and it just keeps getting better and better. Cam, Freyja, and the residents of Lewis have all become like family to me and I have become heavily invested in their lives. I have watched them grow older and wiser. I have been there with them and experienced the ups and downs with them. I have felt the sadness through the deaths of loved ones and the joy at the births and new beginnings. I have experienced a rollercoaster ride of emotions as the characters deal with some unimaginably difficult situations. Yet, throughout it all they overcome adversity, and fight through all of their difficulties becoming stronger for them. Through it all the importance of the love of family has been the focus and of never giving up hope through the darkest of times.

This book was beautifully written, as were all the books in the series. The characters were relatable and the issues they experienced were ones that I feel many of us can relate to. The author draws the reader into the story, and you can picture yourself there with them in that time and place. You feel each emotion as much as the characters do and root for them each step of the way. This is a series that will be worth reading time and time again. I cannot begin to say enough good things about this series! I highly recommend!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Freyja and Cam are blissfully happy with their lives in their community of Lewis. After all the hardships they have experienced through the years they finally feel safe and secure. Their community is sustainable and they have forged some valuable friendships. Life is peaceful until some individuals from their past arrive unexpectedly and bring with them some horrific news. Freyja feels compelled to get answers and heads out on a quest to find them.

This book was a bit darker than the first few books and really digs into the diabolical plans that the scientists had for them and the reasons why they were chosen. Cam and Freyja face some horrific and terrifying adventures throughout their journey that really tests their courage and perseverance. This one is told from Freyja’s point of view and it really opens up the reader’s eyes on who Freyja is and how courageous she is. She is a strong female role model and I admired her strength, courage, and resilience through the most difficult of hardships. Cam and Freyja make a remarkable power couple as they build each other up and are there to lean on one another through the hard times. Nothing can stop them when they are together and are a force to be reckoned with. A must read!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

In Book 3 of The Antipodes Series things become intense for Cam and everything he values is put at risk. Freyja is not only back in his life but they have been thrown together in the hopes that together they can save everything they hold dear to them. Cam is still reeling from the loss of his one true love and his on his own journey to discover who she was and where she came from. Now he is tasked with facing the feelings he has kept suppressed for his first love Freyja when they join forces to save their community.

Along their journey Cam and Freyja make some horrifying discoveries about the truth of their community and why they were chosen to rebuild. As secrets are revealed and the truth comes to light, they are shocked at what they learn. The real reasons each of them was chosen were purely evil and were part of a much more sinister plan. The survivors are now pitted against each other, communities are divided, and friendships are tested as they decide what to do.

This series has captured my attention from the first book and it has been impossible to put down. The storyline is brilliant and as the story unfolds it becomes more intense. There have been some twists and turns that I did not see coming. Freyja returning came as a surprise to not only me as the reader, but to Cam as well. He had suppressed his feelings for her so long that it was eating him up inside. I was surprised that Freyja had been pining away for him and that she had not moved on with her own life. Her love for Cam almost came across as obsession, in a way. In other ways, it was sappy and romantic and you could not help but feel sad for her that she had still loved Cam after all that time apart. The revelation behind the real reasons each of the individuals was chosen was mind blowing! A must read!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Book 2 in The Antipodes Series picks up where the first book left off and continues with Cam’s journey. He is now living in the community of Lewis where he has been accepted and where he feels at home. He loves his community and has not only made some strong friendships, but he has found love again. Although still in love with Freyja, Cam knows that she is never coming back and it is best that he move on with his life. He has found his soulmate in Laetitia and is wholly, truly, and deeply in love with her. For once he is content and feels at peace with his life and his community.

Then Cam’s world is turned upside down when he makes the startling discovery that someone, he loves dearly may not be dead as he had thought. He sets out on another journey and along the way he makes some startling revelations. Cam is overjoyed with the news of the loved one still being alive but is conflicted when someone else from his past also suddenly resurfaces. After finally coming to terms with his feelings and letting go of the past he is faced with some very difficult decisions and must navigate through the conflicting emotions of joy, grief, anger, betrayal, loss, and hurt simultaneously. Any decision Cam makes has a devastating outcome for those he loves dearly.

Book Two was amazing and we really got to see Cam grow as a person. The hard work of rebuilding and making a community flourish have made Cam wiser and stronger as a person. I enjoyed reading about his journey as told from his point of view. Laetitia is a truly beautiful person both inside and out and it is easy to see why Cam fell in love with her. I enjoyed reading about the portals and was fascinated by how they worked. I highly recommend this book! Now please excuse me, while I anxiously read Book 3 to see what happens to Cam next!

The world’s water supply has been contaminated by a deadly virus and it is rapidly killing people all over the world. Australian scientists decide to select a group of individuals within a specific age range, and with very specific skills, to live in on an island in a domed community. The young people are put through rigorous testing prior to being chosen because the intention is for them to save and rebuild the human population.

Cam is one of the young people who has been chosen for this important task and he must make the difficult decision to leave his parents and his sister behind. Cam finds himself settling into a routine on the island and even finds love in a girl named Freyja. However, when Freyja disappears Cam finds himself lonely and at a loss. He sets out to find Freyja and makes some startling discoveries along the way. In his journey he finds similar communities and forms new friendships. However, in doing so, Cam is forced with making a difficult decision that could change his entire life.

I loved this book and was invested from the first few pages. I was fascinated with the idea of the pandemic that was wiping out the world’s population and how the author had come up with creative solutions for the characters to rebuild. Cam was smart, tough, and unafraid to back down from a challenge. As the story unfolds Cam really grows as a person due to all the hardships and challenges, he faces along the way. I highly recommend!

I was super excited with book #6 in this series….it is a fantastic set and I highly recommend reading this series right from the beginning. This book continues the story and pick up with Caitlin and Seraphine, whom was adventure and excitement in life.

Caitlin and Seraphine are more groomed to have a specific role…that role is to populate the community especially to help with immunities from diseases. The ladies want more than this in their life. When they decide that there is more and want adventure, the decision to reactive the Nexus laid before them bring them into a whirlwind of danger, drama and some romance…..this had me at the edge of seat to what happens next!!

I love this series and I know I am already looking forward to more more more of this series!! So well done!!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The 45th Parallel is the sixth book in the Antipodes series. I would highly recommend starting at the first book in the series (Antipodes) and reading in order to get to know the large cast of characters and vast setting that has built up by this point in the series.
The Antipodes series is post-apocalyptic, set after a virus has made most of the surface of the planet uninhabitable. The protagonists of this book, Caitlin and Seraphine, are part of the next generation after the disaster who were created to be immune, and therefore more able to survive on the surface of the planet. It is expected that they will both have children, passing on their immunity to the next generation. But neither of them is keen to settle down, they are easily bored and always in search of their next adventure.
This is a fun continuation of the series! It’s good seeing the next generation of characters coming of age, with the older characters who were the focus of earlier books now viewed from a different angle. Cait and Sera are enjoyable characters – young and dissatisfied with the world they’re inheriting, but also caring for others and trying to make a positive impact.
This book gets five stars from me. I’d definitely recommend this series to fans of post-apocalyptic sci-fi!

This is book 6 in the antipodes series. It also stands well on it’s own. The journey of Caitlin and Seraphine is filled with danger, conflict and love as well as secrets that will be revealed. I appreciated the angst of becoming your own person while struggling to put the community first. It made the characters seem more alive on the page. The traveling to places unknown to the characters felt like a crazy adventure!

This book is the sixth book in a series. I would highly recommend reading the series in order. Of all the books, this one is the only one that could possibly work as a stand alone. Whereas the rest of the series is about Cam, Freyja, and other main characters, this book is about their daughters Caitlin and Seraphina. I have read all of the other books and really enjoyed this follow up book about the daughters who are all grown up. We get to see how life has progressed on earth and the effects worldwide. I think because this book was about young people there was more language than in other books. Caitlin is very much a brat and highly intelligent and struggling to figure out where she fits in. I loved the story and recommend reading the entire series along with this book!

This series was a very unique and interesting read. The overall theme of connection and how we are all inter-connected really spoke to me and, made me think of how our past, present, and future all connect. I was very intrigued by the different story lines and how each of the characters developed their true selves through meditation. This series secretly brings the connection of each character through time and uniquely shows how each person has a role to play and their decisions make a big impact to everyone around them! I really enjoyed reading this series and found myself asking so many in-depth questions which ultimately were answered throughout this journey! I would recommend this series to anyone who enjoys fantasy, adventure, sci fi and a unique story line that shows how self discovery enhances ones true self; thereby bringing the best version of themselves to help society at large!

The 45th Parallel is the sixth book in the Antipodes Series and is Sci-Fi/Romance that will pull you in from the beginning and doesn’t let go till the end. The characters are fully developed and relatable plus they take you on quite the adventure where survival of the human race is at serious risk. This authors style of writing along with amazing characters make for a epic story. I’ve read every book in this series and I must say this one is by far my favorite yet. It’s pretty intense and keeps you turning the pages trying to figure out what is going to happen next. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

This series honestly keeps getting better and better. When I picked up the first book I never imagined this series would be able to sustain this longevity or that I would enjoy it as much as I do and yet that is exactly what has happened. Each book just adds so much to the series overall and, like this one, is a brilliant story in its own right.
I loved getting back into these characters and their lives. It took no effort for this book to draw me back into their world and have me engrossed from start to finish. I am reluctant to say that this was my favourite so far simply because they have all been so good. At the very least it is on par with the rest. This is a fantastic series and a brilliant book. I cannot wait for more!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Caitlin and Seraphine are fed up with their lives being ordered around and planned for them. They long for adventure! One way to get to an adventure faster is to reactivate the Nexus that their parents shut down fourteen years ago. Imagine their surprise when they do such and then find themselves in a completely different community; one they never even knew of existing. They quickly learn that there are more communities like the one they landed in, and they are all underwater. While some of the communities have thrived as best they can, other communities have become more militaristic in their pursuit to stay alive. All of the lessons that they have learned over the years, be it by schooling or punishment, serves them in their very real situation of trying to stay alive long enough to contact home. Can they get back home at all? Or will they have opened up home to invasion by the communities that are struggling to survive? Will there even be a home to return to?

This was a fascinating read for me! Having read this series from the beginning, it was fun to see the girls’ point of view on how they saw things transpire. The book is from Caitlin’s point of view, and she is a 21-year-old struggling to come to grips with what it means for her to have a “special role” to fulfill in order for mankind to even have the possibility of living outside the domes and underwater communities. I think the author caught her angst of wanting to be on her own, but guilt at how she snuck around, and also leading her sister into danger. It was interesting to find out there were whole new communities and their struggles; seeing how they chose to deal with dwindling resources. While some exceeded expectations, other grew hostile and guarded.

I am looking forward to seeing the next installment in this series and what the author adds next!

I love her style and I am truly looking forward to picking up more of her work in the near future!

Having read and enjoyed the previous books in the Antipodes series, I was looking forward to this novel, and I was not disappointed. I would personally recommend reading these novels in order, so you have a better understanding of the continuing storyline. Set in the same dystopian world where a virus decimated the planet, this novel centres on Caitlin and Seraphine. They have both grown up on Lewis and have an ordered and calculated life. They are both ‘immune children’, created by the previous regime in order to ensure the survival of the human race. As there are only a few surviving communities left on earth, the girls destiny weighs heavily on them.
Cait and Sera are expected to have babies that will then be immune like they are, they are told that their role, “in re-settling the world is critical”. However, the girls reject this role and so they leave to embark on a thrilling and dangerous adventure, reactivating the Nexus, and discovering new worlds. By doing this Cait and Sera are endangering not only themselves but their loved ones. Once again I was drawn in to the world created by the author, who brings both the setting and characters vividly to life through the detailed, descriptive narrative. I loved the main characters Cait and Sera and the dynamic between them. I was gripped throughout and was kept happily turning the pages.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was the first longest series that I had to read. I was traveling to the past and the future saving the world and fighting the evil force who in fact can change everything.
After finishing the first book I was confused about what was going on but towards the middle of the book I got the idea of what was happening. Basically, the first book was about the characters and what was happening to the MultiVerse. The second book was more in detail about the situation at hand it was up to the college student to find the treasure that will help to fight the enemy. In this part, I like how some religion is included but not details. Love how the author used each skill and character that suit them. I really what to know more about the reptilian humanoid because my husband for some reason will love to know more.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the 6th book in the Antipodes series and is 340 pages in length. This story follows Caitlin and Seraphin from their POV. They grew up on Lewis and were created to make sure the human race survives. A virus has taken out most of the planet, but they are immune as they were created to resettle the world. But what if they don’t want to? Follow these two on their many adventures. I’ve read the previous books and thought they were done – I was pleasantly surprised to see this!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is the 6th book in the Antipodes series. I had the pleasure of reading the whole series and this book didn’t disappoint. This Sci-fi series takes place in a post apocalyptic world full of adventure, mystery, challenges, and so much more. You won’t want to miss any part of this book or the rest in the series.

The author takes great care in writing this last book so we keep engaged with the many characters we’ve come to know so well as we read about what is happening with them in this book. The way the author shares this world and makes us the readers see that world she created is what keeps me interested and evolved as I read.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
