The Blood Will Dry
An Alien
Apocalypse Novel
by Kate L. Mary
Published: August 15, 2017
Genre: Dystopian, Science Fiction, Alien Invasion, Post-Apocalyptic
Blurb:
Five years after an alien invasion, the earth is
unrecognizable. The human race has been decimated and the sun completely
blotted out by dark clouds that bring constant rain. All indigenous plant life
has been killed off and replaced by vegetation that has proven to be as deadly
as it is invasive, and the aliens that have taken over the planet are seemingly
invincible.
Living in a crowded building with other survivors, Diana
Foster wants nothing more than to forget what she lost the day the aliens
arrived. But an incoming platoon brings a familiar face, one that not only
opens old wounds, but also forces her to deal with the painful memories she's
worked hard to forget. Bryan may not be the same cocky kid he was before the
invasion, but his sudden appearance still turns Diana's world upside down in
ways she never expected. When he showed up she knew it would mean finally
facing her past, but she never thought she’d find a future that was actually
worth living.
After years of struggling to find a weakness in the aliens'
defenses, Diana stumbles upon a solution just as a new and more deadly threat
surfaces. Faced with an attraction she never expected and a battle that most
believe can't be won, Diana must work through her painful past as the survivors
mount a battle that may determine the fate of mankind. If her plan fails it
very well could be the end of humanity, but if works it will mean having a real
future, and a chance to allow the blood to dry once and for all.

My Review:
It has been five years since the aliens attacked earth and
the aliens bug thingies have taken over covering the earth with alien vines.
Humans are forced to stay inside. Groups of people band together living in old abandon
office buildings.
Diana Foster lost something very dear and close to her heart
the day the aliens attacked, her husband and baby daughter. Diana has been in
morning ever since just living day by day just putting one foot in front of the
other with no plans for the future. With losing her whole life that day she no
longer feels as if she has anything to fight for.
She has a wonderful friend Daisy who has been there for
Diana for a long, long time. Diana is a private person and has never told
anyone what she lost on that eventful day.
When a guy, Bryan from her past walks in the door one day
everything changes for Diana. Diana and Bryan didn’t get along to well in the
past. Bryan didn’t treat Diana very well the first time she met him at a
birthday party for her husband. But Diana and Bryan are not the same people they
were before the aliens attacked. But things start to heat up between Diana and
Bryan pretty quickly.
Diana, Bryan, Daisy, Tyler and the rest of the team need to
come up with a way to fight the aliens so they can win this war and stop the
aliens so they can start to rebuild their lives. They need to find a way to
fight the aliens.
Diana and Daisy are two tough chicks that don’t need a man
to fight their battles for them but they probably need a man to keep them warm
at night among other things. Diana and Daisy the double Ds as their friend Alex
calls them and will not go down without a fight. Those two find themselves in
places they never wanted to be but they don’t lie down and give up. No they
pick themselves up and fight their way through.
I love me some dystopian books and one with an alien or two
is just up my ally. When I read the summary for The Blood Will Dry I knew I had
to read it the question was just a matter of when. I love the world that the
author created in The Blood Will Dry with the aliens and vines growing
everywhere and the alien bug creatures. When I was reading The Blood Will Dry I
would get lost in the story and I would see what I was reading in my mind and
for a little bit it felt as if I was watching a movie or living it myself. It
was like I was seeing everything through Diana’s eyes. This is one book I would
love to see on the big screen. It reminded me of the Alien movies.
The Blood Will Dry is the first book by Kate L. Mary that I
have read but it won’t be the last or so I hope. I can’t wait to read more of
her books especially the Broken World novels as I love me some zombies too.
If you like aliens or end of the world kind of books then
you are going to fall in love with The Blood Will Dry. So pick up your copy
today to start on your journey with Diana and the aliens in The Blood Will Dry.
