Even though this is more of a character-development based installment, I felt it still read fairly quick and had enough action to keep the pace flowing nicely. The majority of the group is now at Coutts, which is a stronghold backed by the government and the anonymous (are they good or bad) men in black. The kids find teachers; the group safe behind walls, and a chance at a break. If only things worked out that well!
Jezz is on a mission and the Reclaimers have Coutts in their cross-hairs. Within the camp, things still feel off and questions beg answers. And answers are dangerous.
In this run, readers learn a bit more about the key players and some relationships blossom. I skim the Jesus bits.
There are touching moments as well as spilled blood – so entertaining, for sure. 4.3 of 5 Stars. ARC provided by author
From the Publisher:
The Wolf Pack has finally made progress in their trek North as they reunite with the rest of their group at the Canadian border. The small town of Coutts is fortified by the US Military with a seemingly impenetrable fence surrounding it. It's truly secure and they can have some semblance of a life again. A week of staying there begs the question, do they even need to continue on their journey?
As they unwind after a hellish week on the road, what they've had to do to survive comes back to haunt them--all their failures, all the lives they've taken, all the people they couldn't save…
Things change when they realize there's a secret buried in Coutts, something they may not be prepared to face. Not only do things begin to destabilize within, but the Reclaimers return, bringing with them a vengeance and a plan to bring the group to their knees.
