Adventurous Apocalypse Web Novels & Stories

The world ended on a Monday. Lara Simpson was laid off, discarded, and sitting on her parents' couch when a stranger's face flashed across the screen and screamed a warning into her skull. Now she's LII, one of the hundred Heard sworn to protect the Livings from the monsters who destroyed everything. Each month, they return and take from the Livings, without reason or mercy. Lara believes she was chosen to protect them, and she doesn't ask questions. Until she's promoted to train XC, a smiling recruit who asks too many questions and carries more pain than anyone should. He's the one person whose mind she can't calm, and the one person who makes her feel safe. But the Ruler is always watching, and the truth about the Heard is worse than the monsters. When the truth finally comes out, Lara will have to choose between the lie that saved her and the man who would give anything to save her.

I gave the apocalypse one star. The author replied: "Prove it." Now I'm Vera, the wife who dies in chapter seventeen. I have two dollars, a cheating husband, and twelve days until the dead start walking. But I wrote the review, so I know every plot hole in this book. I also have a space where time stops and nothing ever spoils. Let's see how his book ends when the reader is the one holding the pen.
