/ Sci-fi / Apocalypse Days: I Rule with Foresight and a Powerful Son
4.34 (48 audimat)
Synopsis
You’d think seeing the future would give me a head start on surviving the apocalypse. I had it all planned—until everything I knew shattered when my husband sacrificed himself to save me and our son. Now it’s just me, my three-year-old son Leo, and my cursed gift of foresight that only seems to kick in when it’s nearly too late.
I’m doing my best to keep us safe, to find food, to make some kind of plan—
“Mommy?”
I glance down, trying to ignore the tug on my pant leg as I focus on our supplies. “Not now, Leo. Mommy’s thinking.”
“Mommy!”
I sigh and finally look down. My three-year-old is standing there, clutching… I blink. “Leo, where did you get a knife?”
He shrugs, grinning like it’s the most natural thing in the world.
My heart stutters. “No, really. Where did you find that?”
I try not to laugh. I mean, he’s three. Maybe he just—found it somewhere? But the next day, it’s a water bottle. Then, a tiny flashlight, somehow with batteries still inside.
I don’t even know what else; he’s pulling things out one by one with the pleased grin of a kid who’s just figured out his favorite game.
Well, we may just survive this mess after all.
Now, if only the universe could have spared me from him. I don’t even know his name, but I know his type: tall, broad, and annoyingly handsome, with an air of calm control that’s out of place in this chaos. Ex-military, if I had to guess, with a voice that’s just as infuriating as his smirk. The man has a habit of showing up at the worst—or best—possible times, with a gun at the ready and secrets buried as deep as those bright green eyes.
I mean, he’s probably useful, but I’m trying to keep my eyes on the prize here: survival.
For Leo and me.
Because, foresight or no foresight, nothing is guaranteed in this new world—except the fact that people like him are trouble.

Écrire un avisPicked this up as part of an event and definitely keeping it in my library! There aren’t many chapters to offer a proper review, but so far the writing quality is very good, and I’m already loving the very natural gestures and interactions between the characters. It’s been very easy to feel immersed in a genre I don’t have much experience with (maybe it helps that the author doesn’t either, and we’re both experiencing it without preconceived notions?), and feel invested in the characters. It’s a story of survival, pretty important that I care about the characters and so far, that’s a success. I’d recommend this novel. Hope the author keeps up the quality and continues with regular updates. Nice work! 🧡
only love 5 chapters in and I have to say I can see this being a really good book. very well written, grammar and it's easy to understand. easy to imagine and the author describes the scenes well. so much has happened already and you get sucked in fast, it's dark and I have already gone through so many emotions (good and bad) in this little amount. if you like these kinds of stories or even if you don't, like me, give it a try. I see a lot of potential for this story. I was worried it wouldn't be as easy to get into an apocalypse story as a comic but I got sucked in pretty quickly.
It's good. The characters are fairly three dimensional. I enjoy that the three year old acts like a normalish three year old and not like a super genius, or you know Detective Conan. I'm looking forward to how the characters develop.

I really like it so far. not usually into these genre books, but I am already hooked after a few chapters!
giving it 5 stars because Little Leo is such a good boy and helping Mommy going through this 'adventure' well~
