1. Wilders: A Dystopian Half-Pocalypse Series, 2019
2. Consequences: A Wilders Finale, 2020
The set can also be purchased in digital format as a trilogy with a prequel, The Change, included. I read The Change between volumes 1 and 2, and that is probably when the prequel should be read. The reader can only appreciate certain aspects of The Change with knowledge gleaned from having read the first Wilders book.
Publisher's summary:
The forest behind Renna’s home is dark and dense. It holds more secrets than she knows. Having grown up in the half-pocalypse, a world balancing against the tide of a blood-borne virus, Renna knows the rules by heart:
1) Stay inside between dusk and dawn.
2) Close and lock the copper and silver screens.
3) Report anyone suspected of infection immediately.
Now, at seventeen, Renna will have to survive against the rules.
- An unprecedented attack.
- A strange boy with copper eyes.
Can Renna survive the darkness to save the people she loves?
The first book captured my attention pretty quickly. I was worried about Renna's cat, however. Timmy Tammy, also known as Tim Tam, is a large cat who is Renna's beloved companion. It's clear from the beginning of the first book that Renna's home will soon be the site of an attack. I feared for Tim Tam, since it would have been too sad for him to have been killed. I mention this to reassure anyone who decides to read these books that Tim Tam will be fine. He doesn't die.
I enjoyed reading these books.
