My Review
I absolutely loved this book. The lead-up to the asteroid strike was gripping — I couldn’t stop turning the pages to find out what happened next.
What made it different for me was that it wasn’t just a post-apocalyptic story; it was also a steamy romance. I skimmed over some of the more intense scenes, but I really enjoyed the romantic side and watching the relationship between the main characters develop — especially against such an exciting backdrop.
Kat and Ryan are brought together by a mutual friend. What they don’t expect is a desperate race across the country to reach the safety of a bunker owned by Ryan. Their journey is perilous, filled with danger at every turn, and often it seems they won’t make it.
The author balances tension and romance beautifully, keeping the story exciting and thoroughly page-turning. It was definitely the kind of story I love.
I spotted it in a Facebook advert and immediately saw it ticked my boxes — under three hundred pages and included in Kindle Unlimited.

Book Blurb and Link
To cope with everyday life, neurodivergent Kat is a secret binge drinker, and jilted Ryan is a workaholic. Disillusioned, neither does more than go through the motions of living-then comes the asteroid.
Warned that a planet-killing asteroid is on a collision course with Earth, acquaintances Kat and Ryan join forces in an effort to survive. Mere hours before impact, they race toward the safety of Ryan’s inherited South Dakota bunker, encountering chaos. A last-ditch effort to nuke the asteroid only manages to fragment it into chunks causing multiple strikes.
Earthquakes, fire, and volcanic ashfall assail Kat and Ryan, who turn to each other for solace. Kat finds someone kind who values her differences and Ryan finds himself falling for Kat’s pluck and quick-thinking. Though jaded, they learn to trust and rely on one another.
Attempting to survive the onslaught of their new world, Kat and Ryan must reach the bunker before imminent food shortages and catastrophic climate change cause society to further unravel.
The Edge of Life shows that survival can include falling in love. With steamy romance and non-stop action, this is one thrilling apocalypse road trip you shouldn’t miss.
