Review for Apocalypse 5 by Stacey Rourke

Apocalypse 5 by Stacey Rourke

Blurb:

The end of the world is coming. How or when, scientists can’t agree upon. For decades, Earth’s best line of defense has been a team of young soldiers known as the Apocalypse Five, forced into virtual reality simulations to train for Doom’s Day. But, this is no game. Death on the grid is brutally final and calls up the next in a long line of cadets. Stationed aboard the AT-1-NS Starship, the A5 are celebrities thrust into the limelight by a calling they didn’t choose. All it takes is one unscheduled mission, showing seventeen-year-old team leader Detroit a harsh and unfathomable reality, to shake the A5’s belief in all they thought they knew. After questioning people with the power to destroy them, the team is framed for a crime they didn’t commit and marked for death. Now, the hunt is on. Can the Apocalypse Five expose the truth the starship would kill to keep hidden? Or, will their bravery end in a public execution?

Review:

With every book Stacey Rourke just blows me away. I love reading SciFi and Dystopian books and Apocalypse 5 combines them beautifully into this action packed novel.

Apocalypse 5 follows the journey of a team of 5 teens preparing for the end of the world. It has the classic sense of humour and sass that to me has become a Stacey Rourke signature. I honestly loved the story so much. It had me hooked from the opening line:

I mean when the opening line is so amazing you know its going to be a good book right?

As always I loved the writing style. And I absolutely adored the characters. I loved how thought out the whole concept was. The whole book world seemed so well rounded from the way they talked right down to the descriptions. Everything tied together to make it one of my favourite reads of 2018.

Amazing, amazing, amazing! Can't wait for book 2!
