Apocalypse Five Archive of the Fives Book 1 eBook Stacey Rourke

I received this ARC to give an honest review.

What can this author not write? I am never too big on Sci-fi books I guess because they are just not my cup of tea to read, but I knew I wanted to try this book out to see if it was going to be good. I have no clue why I doubted if it would be good or not because this gal was blown away by just how good it was overall. From the action to the connection that team leader Detroit has with her team and maybe a bit of romance it was designated to be good. We are introduced to the A5 group. They are the ones who are training to protect the ones on the starship in space. So when they are sent on a mission this is when they start to question everything! What exactly is being hidden from everyone? There will be survival for all, secrets will come out and most importantly Detroit will not let anything happen to not only her team or family but for those she is fighting for. She is determined to find the truth about everything. From the very beginning, I was pulled in from the first group of A5's that were sent on a mission and was so intrigued by what they were doing and seeing. I really liked Detroit as a character. She is strong, a leader, really thinks things through and just doesn't jump into a situation.

There is that humor within that I love about this author's writing and I was hoping to see it within the story. She didn't disappoint on that! Pick up this book when it is out, I am almost certain you will love it!

Apocalypse Five Archive of the Fives Book 1 eBook Stacey Rourke Reviews

Stacey Rourke definitely didn’t disappoint and added another entertaining, thrilling story to her repertoire. I would also compare this story to The Hunger Games, but Apocalypse 5 is filled with way more twists and turns and the group of characters care more for each other as if they are their own little family. I’m pretty good at guessing where a story is headed and this story kept me on my toes and continually trying to guess what was going to happen. Overall, this story was well written and I could connect to the characters. I’m very interested to read more in this series!
It took me a few days to figure out how to write this review. I hate spoilers in reviews and this book has so much happening that I was afraid I would say the wrong thing. This book is a little bit sweet romance, a little bit sci-fi and a whole bunch of post apocalyptic goodness. The story follows 5 teenagers who have been raised to be an elite fighting force and the titular Apocalypse Five. Despite all of their training, they are still very much human. The mysteries behind this story slowly unfold as it progresses. Right from the beginning, I found myself saying, "what the heck just happened?!?" Just when I thought I understood what was happening, wham!! Plot twist!! I admit that at one point I was throwing a very long string of "colorful metaphors" in Stacey Rourke's general direction. Once again...plot twist and I ended up having to take all those things back. LOL The characters and world building are amazing, which is what I have come to expect from Rourke's work. Her female characters are strong and fiercely independent yet also have a soft, loving and nurturing side. These characters are by no means idealized portraits of perfection. It's those very imperfections that make the characters so fascinating and keeps me coming back for more. I highly recommend this book.
I fell hard for these characters! I love how they are all so unique yet each shines through their turmoil. And the loyalty they show to each other is the real deal!! Detroit, a true leader, had me rooting for her from the start. Auggie is one of my very faves even though Houston is absolutely swoon worthy. Benny & June though...their connection...oh my heart! (Btw...I love that they are named after characters in one of my favorite movies.) I felt like I’d trained along side them in that tight knit little group (which continually had me on edge during each mission), & there I was repeatedly laughing out loud at the snarky banter they tossed around haphazardly.

Honestly sci-fi is not my go to genre however Apocalypse 5 gave me all the feels! Be prepared to have your world turned upside down as this apocalyptic setting spins out of control, & all that we believed true is twisted & shattered in every direction. No spoilers here, but it does not disappoint! Action packed drama with just enough heat to sizzle through the near frostbite. And...depth! There was so much to enjoy, & then all of a sudden we’d find another gem emerge from the rubble. Seriously feeling sad that I finished this book already. It was too hard to put down, & now I’ll be biting nails until the next release.
While in the vein of Hunger Games and Ender’s Game, Apocalypse 5, forges a new path into this trope. Rourke lends her classic snark and badassery to her foray into this genre. This young adult science fiction dystopian novel is unrelenting war and carnage from page one. Chapter One left me shocked and terrified to continue.

The reader plunges off the cliff and into the drama of a post-apocalyptic Earth with a young A5 team literally blasting into a mission. What the A5ers think is just a simulation program turns out to be so much more than they ever could have imagined. Finding out that nothing is as they were taught to believe, the five person team, led by the seventeen-year-old kick-ass heroine, Detriot, find themselves in a dire situation teaming up with the very people they have unknowingly been fighting against.

Rourke has once again created characters that the reader cannot help but champion behind. I love that the women in this story are strong, fearless, empowered badasses; whom the men respect and support!

This tale invokes the gamut of emotions from crying over the loss of team members to saluting Detriot when she makes a moving speech after a tough battle. The reader cannot help but to feel the losses and celebrate the victories.

As always Rourke has blown me away with her work and I cannot wait to read the next installment in the engrossing saga.
