In Between Seasons
Cassandra Giovanni
In 2021 the world as we know it changed. The government collapsed, and the worst characteristics of human nature were shown as the world fell into ruins. Years after The Fall, the Tribes that were established are still at war. They still fight to keep what they pillaged, and most of all, they fight to keep their lies a secret. In a world filled with deception, nothing is as it seems.
I was born into this world.
Hunter Marks was molded into this world; a General— a person cold and harsh. A person meant to kill me.
We were told to just believe.
We were taught to never question.
We’re supposed to be robots, and accept our roles in this altered society.
Too bad Hunter and I don’t follow the rules.
And we’re a hell of a lot stronger than they ever thought possible.
They’ve been searching for the world’s deadliest weapon.
It’s me.
And I’m not following the leader any more.

This book... honestly, it's different from what I expected.
This Post-Apocalyptic Romance story hooks you in. From the very beginning, the plot is introduced, and not a few pages in, you are diving into the action. Reading this was refreshing, and I loved following the story of Kate and Hunter in this treacherous world that they have to live in.
Let's talk about Kate. I love her. I mean, even the girl in the pictures that is playing as Kate looks like... well, Kate. She's full of flaws, acts like a normal girl, yet she has this badass side to her that makes you laugh (at times) and want more. The thing that struck odd to me was her feelings towards her family (this isn't a spoiler, don't worry). In a lot of books, you see the main character have this struggle between family-by-blood and family-by-choice. There's always this hesitation going on when the main character has to go against her biological family, but in this book, there isn't. Some people might criticize this and say that Kate lacks this love to her family and that it's not "natural", but to be honest, she's not lacking anything in this department. There are people who turn their back against their families and not look back. I found this as a nice change: you start to get somewhat tired of the same conflicts the character goes through in several books you read. I love Kate, enough said.
The story itself was great. If you're looking for a book that is dystopian, but not too much dystopian, this book is for you. I kind of saw the majority of this book as a "filler" from the dystopian world. You know how there are those T.V. shows and every so often they release an episode that doesn't pertain to the main plot? Like that.
In a way.
Giovanni manages to tie in the story of Kate & Hunter to the dystopian in a way that actually works. This book is a romance book, but the amount of information the author adds in about the post-apocalyptic world makes it so that you get both the romance and the dystopia.
I loved reading this book, and I highly recommend it to anyone who likes this genre of books. I am reading some other books by Cassandra and am loving it! You can check her out at: http://cgiovanniauthor.com/
