Chloe knew she shouldn’t have gone into the bar last night. Now, in addition to a pounding headache and weak limbs, she’s got the guilt of five years sobriety down the drain.
When she wakes, she’s not in the world she knows. She’s in The Wasteland, a world populated by monsters and unfamiliar landscapes, in the company of people just like her, pulled to the Wasteland out of time and place, for reasons no one knows or understands. Once there, though, their mission is clear: keep the peace, protect each other, and try not to die, because sometimes, after six days of death, you might not wake up.
But things are changing in the Wasteland. And for Jack and Kitty, brother and sister from a Wild West frontier town; Edgar, a Prohibition rumrunner and Kitty’s former lover; Francis, a former hippie and general peacemaker; Melody, a mentally-unbalanced 50s housewife; and Hector, a former carnival artist, the careful balance they’ve been keeping for years is about to be upset. All of them, and Chloe, are about to get the answer they’ve been looking for years: why have they been brought to the Wasteland in the first place? And will it be possible for them to get back home?
I’m not really big on western type stories but I have to admit to being curious about this one. This has quite the odd group and a rather odd sounding plot.
What are you waiting on this week?
It does sound a little bit oddball lol.. but who knows! Interesting pick!
This sounds really interesting lol You right about the odd sounding group! The colors of the cover really caught my eye though 🙂 Thanks for stopping by My WW!

You’re right, this does sound good. I have to admit I’m not so high on wasteland stories myself, but this character mix could make it good. Thanks for sharing! My WoW
Thanks for stopping by our blog Sassy Book Lovers. Your pick sounds very interesting, I’ve added it to my TBR list. 🙂
Another Melissa Marr book! I haven’t even read her others one (except Ink Exchange, which I hated). I have Carnival of Souls, which is the next Marr book to try! But now I’ll be waiting on this one 😀
Great choice! Hope you get to read it soon 🙂
Thanks for visiting my blog!

Sounds like an interesting read. It’s definitely unlike anything I’ve read before, and the characters sound unique. Thanks for sharing 🙂My WoW

This sounds awesome! I’m going to be putting it on my TBR for sure. I think it will be neat seeing so many different personalities from different eras have to work together to survive the wasteland.

This is the first that I’ve heard of this one, though it sounds pretty good. I haven’t read anything by Melissa Marr yet. Thanks for sharing!
