Mindy McGinnis’s NOT A DROP TO DRINK satisfied all my interests in a novel about an apocalyptic world. First, she creates a believable reality wherein water is worth killing over. Then, she channels Jack London and Gary Paulson with her smart scene crafting, setting her main character Lynn up with j...

Not a Drop to Drink is an interesting and deep read. From the first pages, you're sucked into a world where water is rare and one must do everything they can to protect themselves and the ones they love. Lynn is willing to kill anyone to survive, that is until she loses the only person she had.Mindy...
