My Thoughts

Hundreds of intentionally set wildfires are raging all across the state of California threatening communities and millions of people in this terrifyingly realistic apocalyptic thriller.

Katie and Zach are a normal couple on a camping trip with their young son and dog when the fires start. Sensing the impending danger, they evacuate. What follows is a mad dash race against time. It's pure chaos and I couldn't read it fast enough.

There were times when I forgot that I was reading a book. It all felt very real, like I was actually living through everything that was going on. It really made me stop and wonder what my response would be in a situation like this. I'd recommend this book to fans of Christian apocalyptic fiction. Now, I'm off to start the next book.
