Synopsis

A post apocalyptic novel with a cinematic twist from New York Times bestseller Barry Lyga, actor Peter Facinelli, and producer Robert DeFranco.

On the ruined planet Earth, where 50 billion people are confined to megacities and resources are scarce, Deedra has been handed a bleak and mundane existence by the Magistrate she works so hard for. But one day she comes across a beautiful boy named Rose struggling to cross the river--a boy with a secretive past and special abilities, who is somehow able to find comfort and life from their dying planet.

But just as the two form a bond, it is quickly torn apart after the Magistrate's son is murdered and Rose becomes the prime suspect. Little do Deedra and Rose know how much their relationship will affect the fate of everyone who lives on the planet.

After the Red Rain is a dystopian, which we're all familiar with, but I found the premise to be really original -- if a bit weird. Deedra exists. That's what most people do in this post-apocalyptic version of the earth. Everything has been destroyed. There's almost no sun. She must drag herself to wo......more

Goodreads review by El on July 28, 2015

What do you get when you take two Hollywood execs and a YA author and throw them together to write a book? You get The Hunger Games or Divergent if they were done by Michael Bay. Especially when you take three grown men and ask them to write a teenage girl as the main character. I feel like the plott......more
