REVIEW: After The Fire by Will Hill

“The things I’ve seen are burned into me, like scars that refuse to fade.”
Father John controls everything inside The Fence. And Father John likes rules. Especially about never talking to Outsiders. Because Father John knows the truth. He knows what is right, and what is wrong. He knows what is coming.
Moonbeam is starting to doubt, though. She’s starting to see the lies behind Father John’s words. She wants him to be found out.
What if the only way out of the darkness is to light a fire? (via Goodreads) 

When I went into After The Fire I was apprehensive. It wasn't my usual type of read and I knew it would be tough, but I'd heard a lot of good things about it so I persevered. I'm so glad I stuck with it.

After The Fire is an exploration of faith and humanity, but most of all it is a story of survival. It was a privilege to follow Moonbeam’s story and see her grow into the character I knew she could be. A phenomenal read, and one that will stay with me for a long time to come.

Stars: ★★★★★

I was sent a copy of After The Fire by Usborne in exchange for an honest review.

My Week In Books (27th May)

It's the end of another week, so it's time to find out what I've been up to in the world of books.

I only received one book this week, Truth or Dare by Non Pratt. I feel like everyone I know has already read this, so I can't wait to read it soon.

Last night I finished I Have No Secrets by Penny Joelson. I have to admit I found it a tough read at first and nearly gave up on it, but I'm so glad I stuck with it. I'm now reading After The Fire by Will Hill.
