Review: Impact

Impact by Matthew Eliot
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

Synopsis:

It's been nine months since the meteorites hit. 

They brought both destruction and disease, carrying a mysterious pathogen that has killed untold millions, while turning others into Meteorwraiths -- zombie-like human relics.

Now, the tattered remnants of humanity do their best to survive.

James Walscombe is senior safety specialist trapped inside top-secret US nuclear facility Atlantis, with two colleagues. They survived the impact, unscathed. But now, one of them has turned into a psychotic murderer.

Alice and Adrian have lost everything except each other. Both barely twelve-years-old, they fight their way across the ruins of Europe, in a desperate search for their family.

Father Paul struggles to keep his faith in a world resentful towards its gods. His life isn't the one he thought he'd chosen when he entered the seminary, and now new, dark deities are creeping out from the shadows.

These are just some in the rich cast of characters in this epic tale.

Earth's survivors are trying to adapt to the harsh realities of the post-impact world.

But the worst is yet to come.

IMPACT is a post-apocalyptic series. This is book one.

My Thoughts:

The plot of the story has a lot of potential. Unfortunately, I couldn't get into the story. I kept putting it down because it wasn't interesting me. I couldn't connect with the characters at all. The changing perspectives would have been ok if you got to know a bit about the characters. Overall, I didn't enjoy the story and I will not be moving on in this series.
