The dawn has come for Kate Hewitt’s harrowing and gripping series, Lost Lake. This has been a harrowing, gripping, moving, thought provoking, and raw series about one family’s life and fight for survival after the worst thing imaginable happens. There are not many survivors left after a nuclear apocalypse. Alex and her family are still struggling to adapt to their new normal and adjust to their new way of living.
The promise of a new life in North Dakota sounds like a dream to Alex, Sam, and Ruby. Alex is also wrestling with the fact that she left her teenage daughter, Mattie, behind in Canada where Mattie hopes to build a new life with the community there.
As with the other books in this series, this book will pull on your heartstrings. I found myself putting myself in Alex’s shoes. This family has lost so much, can they bear to lose more? How strong is a mother’s love for her children? How far will a person go in order to survive? What danger lies when all is lost?
This book is told through the POV of Alex and Mattie. I felt for them both. Alex being the mother and Mattie, her teenage daughter. Alex has more life experience, while Mattie has young optimism and faith. Both will face challenges, and both will need to rely on themselves and others to begin again.
Whew! As with the other books in this series, this book was wonderfully written, well thought out, heart wrenching and moving. I kept wondering throughout this series what I would do if I were in a similar situation(s). This book is raw, powerful, and moving. As this is the third and final book, I do highly recommend reading this series from the beginning to fully appreciate the plight of the characters and the new world and all it’s challenges.
Thank you to Storm Publishing and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.
