Book Synopsis
The world has ended. Now what? When Bea wakes to discover she and her lover, Evian, are still alive after the apocalypse, things seem too good to be true. Soon, she begins to suspect they are. The more concerns she voices about their survival on an island paradise, the easier their lives become. Her attempts to ask questions are met by disinterest and anger from her partner. Why can she not remember key details about her life before coming to the island? Why is she seeing and hearing things that aren't there? How well does she really know Evian? As suspicion and distrust continue to mount, Bea realizes the apocalypse was the least of her worries. But is there a way off the island, and is paradise really Hell?Review Quotes

characters on the picturesque brink of insanity."
