Waiting Out Winter by Kelli Owen
4.0
"If there was any celebration of the final death, it was behind locked doors and plastic-covered windows, in small gatherings of survivors."
Those relentless pesky flies!
Imagine living in an apocalyptic world infested with tent worms and flies!
The flies are released by scientists and the government in the hope that they will destroy the tent worms that are destroying all the plant life, but the flies are infected with a deadly disease and one bite is a killer.
I love the small town setting and how it focuses on one family doing everything they can to protect each other, especially the children. There is a tension building, claustrophobic atmosphere as they all fear flies getting into the house, making sure everything is secure and they have enough food and supplies to survive.
There is more to this story , including too much would spoil it.
It had me on edge with worry for this little family.
I really enjoyed the creativity and perhaps an almost believable apocalyptic world. Because.... BUGS....lots and lots of BUGS!
I loved the ending (even made me chuckle) as I have 'The Hatch' and had an idea of what was possibly to come.
I had a blast reading this!
