Year One

Spoilers!

WOW!! I was surprised by this book. I have never read a Nora Roberts book... (I think?) I am pretty sure I tried and put them down. My Aunt was reading this, and said its a post apocalyptic book, and she think I'd like it. Well I did! I mostly did anyways. The story premise, phenomenal, while delivery was a little.... less impressive.

The book starts out innocent enough, a family gathering, and then some weird things happen, blood is involved, and then all of a sudden, everyone is getting sick. I could have done without the super detailed description of mucus and diarrhea, I almost gagged while reading it. And then, the family spreads their mysterious sickness to like, the world! That escalated quickly. This apparently releases magick into the world. There are fae that are released as well. There are not many people left, the Doom(sickness from earlier) killed about 2/3 of the world population. The only reason I coudnt give this book 5 stars was I felt the prophecy of the one was thrown in last minute.
