    CHS is one of my go to kU authors and I also try to read her books as soon as they become available. This one is a romance with an end of the world, kinda end if the world, background story. Don't go into this thinking its the other way around because you will be sorely mistaken and not enjoy the book for what it is.
    Andi becomes Prime Minister after a drug begins poisoning the masses turning them into violent "zombies" ( use that term lightly as they are not actually dead per se) and all acting power heads ahead of her are killed. He head of security Ren Dyer and her second Jeremy something are all that is keeping Andi and two other foreign dignitaries alive. The journey is a good one with unexpected encounters, unexpected loves, and yes even unexpected heartaches. Its a fun journey to take and I look forward to the next installment in the groups, especially Ren and Andi's, adventure.

    There are a few things I enjoyed while reading this book:
    🥀This story is really easy to follow and nicely paced; I almost like that all the characters are likable..
    🥀I like how it’s them for the world and it’s future and not against it. They want to rebuild what once was and keep their humanity.
    Maybe that’s what the people responsible for The Cleanse wanted to destroy our humanity. What the group is doing makes them so brave. Human.
    🥀I opened this expecting everyone to die and for there to be a lonely and unhappy ending but that’s what’s great about this story that you have no control over what happens in the world but it’s about what you do about it. That was really refreshing read.
    I can’t wait to read what happens next....

    There is so much that I loved about this book. First the title. In Dyer Need: The First Chapter which clearly indicates an intent of this story continuing. Which once I fell in love with Ren and Andrea, made me excited to know. Next was the story itself and how it was developing. Unfortunately in the world we live in today this story could be a reality. So knowing that, I was able to get caught up in it and the characters each becoming an important part of the story unraveling. This is a must read! I do not want to give any part of the story away so as not to mislead the reader. Claire Highton- Stevenson has done it again and I can not wait for the next installment.

    When the world as it is know no longer exists life seems unmanageable. Ren does her best not only to manage but protect everyone around her. Andrea needs her protection but wants so much more. This is a masterfully written story that struggles with what the end might look like. It is also a powerful love story that celebrates love at its finest. The intrigue, life changing experiences and brilliant characters makes this a must read.

    This is so much more than a lesbian romance book! It's an end of the world type story with lesbian romance thrown in. The story is exciting and interesting on its own and would be a good book without the hot relationship between the prime minister and her head of security. With both elements, this book is absolutely fantastic!

    There is some great chemistry with Ren and Andi. There are also some strong inspiring moments in the writing. Otherwise it’s a standard dystopia with women as lead characters. Not sure I’d read a sequel.

    I particularly enjoyed the MO of this end of the world book. We can really imagine it happening, and also the lively and detailed deacription of each stage of their saga.
    Can't wait for part two , and hopefully we will get the answers about who and why this " peste" happened . Great book!

    I had read Doll Maker and Brave Divisions and was looking for something else by this author, I only read the first part of the description which suggested it was a love story. Oh it is so much more!
    Great, great storyline, characters gradually being added and built upon. Well worth the read! 😊
    I'm going to put book 2 on my list.

    After reading a couple of pages I wasnt sure if I was going to enjoy this story ..... but with the excellent writing skills of Claire within the few pages I was drawn in book line and sinker , such a talented Author to transport my mind to the lives of PM Andi , Agents Dyer and Johnson and all the other survivors, I really cannot wait for In Dyer Circumstances to come out to how the world rises again . Thank you so much
