How far will they go to restore the power?
It’s been lights-out for three months and society is already falling into chaos.

Descend into an epic, young adult adventure, featuring family and friendship with a heart-skipping side of romance by debut authors Deborah Adams and Kimberley Perkins.
Mysterious deaths and disappearances are piling up, and unknown enemies are everywhere. As the brothers make their 500-mile journey to Waypoint they’ll have to decide who they can trust, and which secrets can be told.
“Thanks to its tantalizing pace, well-established consequences, and complicated character development, this novel is worth writing home about. I didn’t feel ready for it to end.” -Independent Book Review
My Review:
Waypoint is set in a post-apocalyptic world featuring twin
brothers Simon and West. The power has been out in the country for a while now
and when information on how to restore the power falls into the brothers hands
they risk life and limb to get the power turned back on.
Simon and West have a 500 mile journey a head of them but
along the way they manage to get separated. They agreed on a place to meet once
they have reached their destination.
As West is making his way through the woods he hears a
scream and takes off to see if he can help whoever is in trouble. He sees a
young girl being attacked and steps in to help. West decides to let Alex tag
along with him as they are headed in the same direction anyway.
It doesn’t take West long to figure out that this girl is
hiding something from him. But he is also keeping some secrets of his own. West
or Alex knows if they can trust the other. West has no idea who he can trust
with the information he has.
Simon meets a woman Riya on his 500 mile journey to meet his
brother. Riya said she was on her way to see her family and asked to tag along
with Simon as she didn’t feel safe being on her own. Simon wasn’t sure if that
would be a good idea or not but couldn’t to say no to the lady. Can Simon trust
Riya? Can Riya trust Simon? How is either one to know?
Simon and West both run into a little trouble along the way
with dead bodies popping up everywhere. People chasing them trying to stop them
or find out what they know. But with some people they will shoot and ask
questions later so to speak. Will Simon and West make it to Waypoint on time?
Will they make it there alive? Who can they trust with their secrets? Can they
trust the girls? Who are they and what do they want?
Waypoint is filled with lots of action and excitement from
the first page. It will have you in its grip wanting to know what is going to
happen next. Waypoint is so intense and intriguing that I couldn’t turn the
pages fast enough. I was rooting for Simon and West the whole way I was like
go, go, go when they were being chased and then there were times when I was
like no, no, no this can’t happen. I can’t wait to check out the next book to
see where their stories to continue and end.
I would recommend Waypoint to all fans of suspense, mystery,
adventure, and post-apocalyptic worlds. Waypoint has a little bit of something
for everyone.
