Description

A long awaited sisters vacation hits a slight bump in the road when a series of tremors instantly cause the cancellation of all flights. Believing the airport is not the safest place, Lacey and her sister hurry from the terminal and board a crowded tram. Then it happens. No one knows why, how or what occurs. Cities are decimated, oceans rise and people drop dead from the cataclysmic event. The world becomes a dark place on a fast track to the next ice age. Lacey somehow survives and finds herself in a city of rubble. Unaware that it was a global event, she treks from the destruction in an attempt to find help. Along the way she meets Madison. Both women are far from home and together they embark on a mission to find their families thousands of miles away. The country is in chaos and is fast becoming uninhabitable. It is a race against the clock as the world grows colder and more dangerous by the day. Lacey and Madison vow not to give up until they know what has happened to those they love. Read more

This one was a great read. Definitely unexpected twists and turns that kept me wanting more. Love how she brought it all together.

    • Scary story about what could happen and how that might feel
Jacqueline Druga is an amazing author when writing some pretty deep and heavy stuff. I've previously read her work "The Woman" and was curious about something a little more grounded in reality. While the woman touched a lot on issues like abuse . . And a lot of stuff much darker that I don't want to touch on, here we have a story about loss and family and moving forward. At least that's what I took from it. In my reviews I will attempt to explain my reasoning and feelings behind stuff so you can grasp if it is for you or not based on your own taste, rather than taking my word for it. Under Gray Skies is a disaster story like few others. I've found plenty of post apocalypse tales, but few seemed to capture things in this real of a sense. How would countries react, people? They're serious questions that are often times downplayed for other aspects. Like your meteor tale that focuses more on heroics, or something that wants to tell about society completely collapsing. Without having lived through anything so dramatic I cannot say what would happen, but this book certainly feels very plausible from start to finish and in a lot of ways that is part of what makes it so scary. Besides the horrific events themselves, the story is about people and their family and their attempting to move forward. The emotions they are going through are usually very vivid, though I would say shock and numbness are quite prevalent. A lot of the trauma happens very fast and it is difficult to take in, perhaps my not actually being one of the people or having experienced the kinds of losses they do makes it hard for me to fully empathize, but even so I didn't for a second question the characters feelings, motivations or hardships. They say you should write what you know, but I would suggest in a way you also read what you know. A character you can relate to is more compelling and a pain you can understand is more heart breaking. A true triumph of this book is that while I cannot truly relate I was still able to experience the story and get a sense for how the characters felt. This is far and away not a traditional tale, but to be honest in a lot of ways it also is. There is a lot of standard invisible ink you can see if you pay attention (invisible ink is the structures and methods used to tell a story that makes an audience feel certain things without outright telling them what you're doing... in a nutshell). Clearly the author knows what she is doing, but you're not going to find action heros or some sort of moral lesson. The people in this story are largely just people trying to find their loved ones and or survive. The antagonist is only loss and time and the suspense is potential heart ache. There didn't need to be zombies to make this situation feel dire or scary and frankly everything seemed pretty grounded in reason. There wasn't a moment of this story I didn't imagine could actually happen and that is terrifying. I wasn't sure if I should give this five stars or not and I settled on four because while I think it was a great disaster story and a great emotional tale, I also didn't find it particularly riveting. It might just be my background, but my biggest complaint about this book is there were plenty of times when I just kind of found it boring. As I said before, there really isn't action, or romance, or any of the other things that makes a tale suspenseful or compelling and while it was still a great read, I'm not sure I fully understand what the hooks were supposed to be or how the characters were changing (or not changing). Perhaps the story was just a touch too emotional or subtle for me, but in the end I found it the tiniest bit boring. Mind you that is nit picking to the extreme, I still found it immensely enjoyable and a very compelling read. If you want to be frightened by a very real thing that could happen to the human race and how it might affect you and your family well.. I suppose you could give this a try, if you're looking for some campy action and zombies then you might consider something else. Jacqueline Druga has a lot of work and I'm sure she's written something you'll love. ... show more

The book kept me wanting to finish it in 1 day. Just as the others from this writer! I would love to see movies from her other books.

    • Don't Pass Up A Chance to Read a Good Book.
I must have scrolled by this book synopsis four or five times before I took it seriously and bought it. Don't make the same mistake I did. You won't be sorry. This is a well written first person work of fiction that grabs you by the end of the first page and holds onto you till the very last word. More than once I found myself staying awake well past midnight to read 'just one more chapter'. The characters are believable and riveting, the plot interesting and keeps you guessing as to what happened to put the heroine and the people she encountered in the situation they were in. The only criticism I have is that I wish this book was fleshed out a little more and a little longer. Then again, maybe not. I really need my sleep. ... show more

    • Good Read with One Exception
I certainly am unqualified as a literary critic. However, I did find one thing troubling that I feel ruined the book for me. It is told in first person point of view of the main character Lacy. She tells her story of surviving what she comes to understand as a blast from a large erupting volcano. She finds a notebook and begins to log the names of the people who died but helped her live. She details her trek to find her family and the few survivors she finds along the way. She also writes a daily note to one of her kids or her husband who are more than halfway across a destroyed continent. Where it really goes south is when another character comes in possession of the notebook and continues Lacey's narrative. I don't know why the author didn't write the whole story in third person. I would have liked it much more. All in all, the rest was okay despite a little too much coincidence. I suppose she was throwing in a serving of divine intervention. It was an interesting take on the end of the world as we know it story and I doubt many will hate it. They just probably won't love it. ... show more

    • Good story quick read
This was a pretty good read. It's a different take on the whole end of the world stories. I like that the main character doesn't know everything. That said it does have a feel good quality about it. I'm happy that I read it.
