Summary: (from goodreads) It could happen tomorrow...
A cataclysmic event. An army of "The Changed."
Can one teen really survive on her own?
An electromagnetic pulse sweeps through the sky, destroying every electronic device and killing billions. For those spared, it's a question of who can be trusted and who is no longer human...
Desperate to find out what happened and to avoid the Changed, Alex meets up with Tom---a young army veteran---and Ellie, a young girl whose grandfather was killed by the electromagnetic pulse.
This improvised family will have to use every ounce of courage they have just to survive.
“Gripped me from the beginning to end—-dark, creepy and suspenseful. I loved it” - James Dashner
“A haunting and epic story of survival in a shattered world. ASHES is a must read.” - Michael Grant
This books are so top of the list for me, I am truly enjoying all the dystopians coming out. This book I actually did pick up at BEA, so look for the review close to the release date.
