A hailstorm of bombs has blasted the world into a nuclear winter. The survivors have now spent seven long years in the snow and ash scratching out a lonely, hard existence.
Although comfortable in her safe and supplied bunker, Skylar Ross longed for more of a life than what she has. She thought she found it when she rescued Rex but the evil that followed him inside her home threatened the one person she holds most dear. Can she put aside her mistrust of others and give him and his people a second chance?
Rex Larson fell hard for Skylar and was excited about his group joining her in the safety of her bunker until he was betrayed by one of his own. Exiled back out into the cold, he prays that Skylar will change her mind.
Forced to flee the town when a deadly gang moves in, the survivors huddle in the cold hoping the gang won’t find them and for Skylar to change her mind. When the weather turns for the first time in seven years, they don’t know if it means the earth is starting to heal or if it’s just more ruin.

Quick Point: I have this author on fave update. Out of hundreds I've read she made the top 20.This is the second, novel in the series so most of you know how the first went...I have to say she did an incredible job continuing the flow of the story while fixing to better her writing style.
As with the first book she holds fast at what i call Pulp-Apocalypse, more meat/ less potatoes..In 250 pages'ish she game a story often left in 450 pages.. Which was exactly what i was looking for..a book where it feels like !'m watching a mini series(trust me not an insult)
SM Stirling does a great Apoc, with chapters along on descriptions of the world...Shaver makes you see the characters and envision the worry and chaos.
Plus on the male side, she did a spot on job of all 4 main male characters, can't say for the ladies but she is one so im betting its just as real.
Shaver, keep the style, only like three of you that have it, and two are zombie only.
Cant wait for the finally!

RAIN RUIN An Endless Winter Novel eBook Theresa Shaver Reviews
I cancelled my doctor's appt. because I stayed up all night reading the first book in this series. What a cool idea she came up with to survive. I'm reality the cave probably does exist somewhere in various locations.
Any criticisms I have are minor b/c this book's storyline is so entertaining that readers will read faster just to get to the next page!
I thought Skylar cried too often although who wouldn't in her situation?
There were also quite a few grammatical errors in verb usage and pronoun mistakes with I and me.
I wish the third book in this series was out now!! It's an A+ book!
Another edge of your seat book! Ms Shaver is an excellent author. I have not been disappointed with any of her series. I do however have one suggestion. I was reading the Stranded series and was left hanging because the final book had not been written. I started reading this series because it said it was a 2 book series. Imagine my surprise when this one left me hanging also. So now I am waiting for books that are being written in 2 series. My suggestion is to finish writing a series before starting another one especially for older people like me who now have to remember 2 story lines.
Through my years of reading, I can count on one hand the times I have become emotionally invested in the characters in a story. I have found myself laughing out loud, cursing at the bad guy, even uttering words of disbelief, but never have I been brought to tears over the events of two characters. It was during this book that I found myself wiping tears from my eyes as I was completely engulfed by the story and the characters.
I especially enjoy this series because the author does not concentrate of minute details of survival, instead explains just enough to explain what you need to understand without bogging you down with technical information. All the energy expended is focused into the story, and the relationships of the characters.
An excellent series. I look forward to the next in the series eagerly.
This book started okay. Then went all "everybody getting along because we're all good people" kind of sappy, but fine, I like a feel-good book. Then it turns to horror which is sometimes what is found in dystopian books, so okay. But then it has an awful cliffhanger ending that I hated and the rating went down fast.
And then to top it all off, the 3rd book in the series that was supposed to be published in the Summer of 2016 is nowhere as is the author - who has fallen off the face of the Earth for the last two years - she's not on her Facebook, Goodreads or her own website. Now, I'll feel awful if she had a serious illness or a horrible personal event but if it's not for a good reason, I'm a little upset. So 2-1/2 stars.
This is the second book of a planned trilogy. Book one is available; book three is expected at the end of 2016. This book ends in a cliffhanger. There is no swearing, or sex. This book is suggested for older teens and older due to parental danger and mention of cannibalism and rape.
Skyler and her brother, Benjamin, have lived in their father's survival bunker for seven years without contact with another person. As Benjamin was born just as the bombs were falling, he has never been outside or seen another human other than Skyler.
Inside the bunker Skyler maintains the same routine her father set. She cares for the garden and cans what they can't eat, cares for the livestock, and raises her little brother, educating him with lessons provided by their Artificial Intelligence.
But she has broken her father's rule of don't let anyone in. At first it was just a tiny family of four. Now it's over hundred men, women and children. She does her best to get them settled into a wing of their own. Just as matters are settling down and Skyler is working on her phobia of being around so many other people, there is betrayal.
Skyler is a likable character, unusually competent at running what could easily be defined as a small village, all by herself. She raises and teaches her young brother based on information she obtains from her AI.
There is an interesting dichotomy in how Skyler and Ben handle the sudden influx of more than 100 people. Ben, literally never having seen another live person other than her sister, immediately takes up with a boy his age and the two spend as much time as they can playing video games. Although Skyler remembers life before the bombs, she quickly develops a phobia of crowds.
It's also interesting to see the change in behavior of young Ben, in particular, although Skyler is surprised by her own shift. As if both their emotional development has stalled, Ben starts acting out, (Skyler laments she doesn't know where her sweet boy has gone), and Skyler is torn between keeping all the resources close, as her father reiterated, or sharing resources and being praised. She knows the contents of the bunker--a huge bunker with multiple floors that this reader has difficulty understanding how it was built by two men over years--but doesn't understand what everything is for. She doesn't know some things exist, like artificial insemination for her cow, and therefore doesn't ask about it. Yet, despite having all responsibility for life in the bunker, she willingly cedes portions of it to the adults in the group.
Perhaps because the integration of the new people to the bunker is new, except for one instance Skyler isn't challenged for the resources of the shelter. It would be expected over time for the adults in the rescued group to try and force Skyler into the role of teenager; difficult for some of them to understand Skyler has been an adult for years.
There are interesting details mentioned throughout the book that add verisimilitude to the situation. Immediately after the introduction of the new people to the bunker, Skyler and Ben become gravely ill, their immune systems weak from not being exposed to common viruses. A thoroughly nasty man laughs about how a couple of people from the bunker, captured after going outside, will be enough food to feed the group he belongs to. A few people, using threats and violence, keep others under their thumb, and some people live in fear, willing to give up freedom and self-respect in order to survive.
This book, while written more at the level of a young adult, is still a good story for older readers.
