It's a classic set up: a group is out camping in the wilderness and comes home to find something horrible has happened. In this case, Australia has been invaded and the families are all being detained. It's a perfect war scenario in that 1) we never do learn who the invaders are, so there's no noxio...

While I really liked a lot about this book, I finished it feeling a little disappointed at the lack of answers and plot completeness to the story - it almost feels like a prequel.The book is written as an account by Ellie to record the events shortly leading up to and immediately after the invasion ...

I've read these (the first 4) a few times and I freaking adore them.

Personally, one of the scariest reading experiences is going back as an adult to read a book I loved as a teenager.

8/10Tomorrow when the war began was fantastic! It asks a lot of questions like: What would you do? Would you be able to handle a situation like that? Are we as safe as we think we are?“We believed we were safe. That was the big fantasy.”The characters are so diverse and it is fascinating to see how ...

They find a way into Hell – a place thought to be unreachable due to its jagged cliffs and dense brush. The group enjoys a week of camping in a place practically untouched by humans.When...

3.5 starsWhenever I hear a random, not easily explainable boom, there is a small part of me that wonders if that noise I am brushing off as a transformer going out or random firework is actually something much more sinister. What if it is in fact not a benign blast but the first act of war? There ...
