Past This Point by Nicole Mabry

Past This Point is realistic and terrifying, sad and rewarding.

Karis Hylen lives alone far from her family in Queens, NY. Having given up on love after a number of failed attempts, Karis begins a negative downward spiral. She even avoids friends in favor of alone time with her loveable dog Zeke. When a flu outbreak of epic proportions blankets New York, Karis fares well enough physically. But the days of isolation turn into months. Just shy of having a mental breakdown, Karis befriends a couple of charming young girls and a handsome Londoner, and really begins to thrive. Now, the race is on to make it out of the city and reach her family before sickness or worse befalls her.

For anybody who loves a good disaster book, Past This Point hits all the marks. There is plenty scavenging, improvisation from a very sly Karis, hunger, fear, violence, and even surprise moments of decadence. It was especially heartwarming to watch Karis emerge from her self-imposed emotional isolation into a better woman. Plus, who doesn’t love a super intuitive canine companion?

Past This Point is realistic and terrifying, sad and rewarding. Pour yourself a glass of wine and snuggle up in front of a cozy fire and prepare to read this perfectly chilling novel from cover to cover in one sitting. You absolutely can’t put Nicole Mabry’s book down!
