Deep Shadows is the first in a dystopian series, The Remnant, by Vannetta Chapman. Basically a dystopian story is our world turned upside down.

If a massive solar flare struck, knocking out all technology. What would you do? If suddenly, there was no electricity, no phone system or internet—no means of communication, how would you cope? What if water was rationed and you were contemplating using water from local waterways or a spring if you’re lucky?

What if you were limited to using only cash? No credit card or ATM. How much cash do you keep on hand?

Add to this, panic, chaos, looting, and rogue gangs vying for control of the area, what would you do?

While reading Deep Shadows, I was not only forced to wonder what would I do for my own survival, but what would I do if my child needed daily medication to live?

Obviously, I was pulled in by this story from the first page and kept on the edge of my seat until the end. With non-stop action, likable characters, and a bit of romance thrown in, Deep Shadows will keep you up at night. I had to remind myself that this is a book of fiction—not of prophecy. I think.

The writing is intense, powerful, emotional, and a great read. I might add, it isn’t for those prone to anxiety and nightmares.

Be sure to read the Author’s note at the back, describing the truth of massive solar flares. Also included are emergency preparation lists and instructions for growing a victory garden.

I received a complimentary copy of Deep Shadows for a fair and honest review. I was not paid or asked for a positive review.
