Description
In the thrilling sequel to #1 New York Times bestselling author P. C. Cast's Into the Mist, a group of women fight for a just future in the wake of global destruction. Practical Magic meets Station Eleven in this pulse-pounding postapocalyptic thriller about the power of women. Mercury Rhodes and her world were utterly changed when the bombs fell, releasing the green mist. While it proved deadly to all the men who breathed it in, it gave new life to women who did the same. The green mist show more provided each member of her newfound family an ability: Stella's heightened intuition, Imani's earthly connection, Karen's bond with Spirit, and Gemma's healing ability. Although Mercury now has incredible physical strength-she doesn't know if she will be strong enough for what comes next. Especially after the death of Ford, their companion through the aftermath of the mist. The group finds respite in creating a small community in the John Day Fossil Preserve, near the Painted Hills in Oregon. Together, they hope to find a place where they can start over and rebuild a better world. But Mercury knows it won't be that simple, not when she knows someone, or something, is hunting them. Something that wants to rule the ruins of the world and something who sees Mercury as a threat that must be eliminated. Mercury will have to muster all her strength if she is to fight for a new dawn. The fate of her friends-and the world-depend on it. show lessTags

A group of women build a small community after a bomb strike that releases green mist which melts men and gives women strange powers. Something is hunting them.
OUT OF THE DAWN is the second book in P.C. Cast’s Into the Mist series. I read the first book, INTO THE MIST, prior to this and would suggest doing so as there is background information that helps things make more sense. My feelings about OUT OF THE DAWN are pretty much the same as the first book. In general, I like post-apocalyptic novels so the premise of the book sounded like something I’d find interesting. Unfortunately, this book was not a good fit for me. The fantasy element was kicked up a notch and at times just felt weird and out of place in terms of the vibe the show more series began with.
OUT OF THE DAWN didn’t work for me, but I can see how it may appeal to others. If the premise sounds interesting, I’d suggest giving it a try.
