Description
Can one broken soul mend another when even the world itself has given up the ghost?
Fading into unconsciousness, Christian watches psychotic thugs drag his sister-in-law and nephew away to suffer in the city they just escaped. Left for dead near his brother's corpse, he has but one hope for survival, rely on the pretty stranger who stumbled across him. Not exactly smart after the apocalypse.
Encumbered by the lingering effects of her own violent past, Chloe struggles against her need for independence. Trusting a stranger found lying in the snow is risky, to say the least. Yet, she patches him up.
As they strive to rebuild their hearts, the harsh world they've been thrust into promises to tear them apart. Because Christian's rescue attempt can't wait. Every second in Chloe's idyllic hometown means another second of pain for Christian's family, leaving Chloe with a choice. Risk her life to help Christian save his family? Or condemn them all to a slow death?
Fans of gut-wrenching drama and dark humor will love this tongue-in-cheek post-apocalyptic romance.

World for the Broken by Elexis Bell
Bombs dropped
Disease raged
People died
Some survived
Evil thrived
Life changed
Some had it better
Some did not
What would YOU do to survive?
Would you risk your life to help save someone else?
This story was dark and gritty but filled wit hope.
What I liked:
* The theme, story and writing – it drew me in and kept my attention from beginning to end
* The way it made me think, “What if?”
* That the darker more gritty bits were not glossed over but dealt with in realistic ways
* Christian – a good man with a band hand to play. He never gave up and stood up for what was right. Family meant everything to him.
* Chloe – a woman who suffered and became strong. A leader, forager and good person who knew what she wanted
* Karen – widow, mother and woman who did whatever it took to keep her young son alive
* Tate – a four year old boy that saw things nobody should see
* Jackson – a good man with a sense of humor. He loved his sister and was there for her when she needed him
* The sense of hope at the end – community, togetherness, romance and family.
What I did not like:
* Those that abuse power and use the misery of others for personal gain
* The twisted thinking of Wolf and his Fangs
Did I like this book? Yes
