New American Awakenings (Book one) by Tyler Davis is one the hardest books I have read about the post America world in years. I started reading this book after the capitol attack in D.C. and this book is so realistic even if others don't believe so. It is from the viewpoint of Colt a young man who is living in a slum after a supposed christian (I put a little "c" on purpose as the group that took over is not what the Bible calls Christian at all) took over the government and made anyone different from them the enemy/terrorist. The horrific abuse at the hands of a prideful person who thinks she is the servant of God is horrific but sadly I can even see it in people today. Without giving anything away I will say that the story is well written as I could picture everything even to point of seeing it actually happening to our America. This book is a great fiction example of what happens when we let prideful people make enemies out of our neighbors. I highly recommend this book even with the chaos going on in our world right now and I can't wait for the second book.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from Net Galley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
