Summary

The world we knew is GONE.

Ruby had barely started kindergarten when the world collapsed, but by now she's over it. Like, really over it. To celebrate their upcoming graduation, the teenagers in Port Gibson are gathering to play a forbidden game from Before, a game called spin the bottle.

Pretty much every girl in Port Gibson likes the same two guys, and Ruby knows them both. Wesley, the charismatic son of the town Mayor who's being groomed to step into his dad's job, and Sam, the ripped but terrifying second-in-command to the town's Security Chief. But only Wesley's graduating with Ruby, and if he shows up, she's determined to finally seize her chance to kiss her long time crush.

When things go sideways, endangering her dear Wesley's life, there's only one person Ruby can ask for help, no matter how scary and enigmatic he is: Samuel Roth. Can Ruby convince Sam to risk his life to save Wesley's? And can Ruby navigate the post-apocalyptic world in time to save her crush, or will the long forgotten past come back to claim its due?

A promising YA debut about a girl’s search for a future in the wreckage of the past.

I loved books 1 & 2 on Audible, but book 3 is NOT available, so unless you want to pay £6.99 to read it on Kindle, don't bother reading the 20 hours of the first 2 books that preceded it.
Great story with alot of promise, I hope the author gets these issues resolved!
Also I would mention that book 5 Reclaimed, is just a bonus story of side-characters Adam & Rhondda as it is not made clear that the end of book 4 is where Ruby & Sam's story concludes.

Unfortunately book 3 is NOT on here!
