Yay, AJ's alive! Not that I thought he wouldn't be, but I'm glad to find out where he's been all this time. I could see AJ going crazy in his solitude; he definitely seems like the type of person who needs constant companionship and attention. But what's this now - a GIRL in a Mare story??? Get out of town! Curious to see what her role will be. I like that she seems a little bit badass so far. :) I also love that I got some info on the backstory here - Canada, eh??? That's hilarious; I love it! I could see our neighbors to the North harboring some resentment and wanting to strike when we least expect it! I laughed at the Star Troopers and AJ's reaction to the name too LOL. Now that I know all the guys are alive, I wonder how long it will take them all to find each other. After reading your author's note, I just figured out how you've organized this - obviously I knew you were going back and forth between post- and pre-apocalypse, but I didn't connect that you had the chapters paired up by which boy they were about. I like that you're writing each of their perspectives, and you do a great job with each one!

Going into this and knowing it was my last one, I wanted to go as far out of the box as possible so that's where this mystery girl came from. I knew AJ would need some kind of companion while he was searching for the guys so I decided against my better judgement to make it a her lol I'm glad she's coming off as a hard ass! And yes, it's all Canada's fault. Isn't it always? Eh? hehe thanks, Julie!

I like how you go back and forth between pre and post! I also enjoy how you are giving away little bits at a time to how they ended up where they are and what is going on with them now. This is my first review because I was too caught up to stop and review earlier... lol.
Author's Response:
Wow, this was a pleasant surprise. I love getting new reviews from new readers. I'm glad you're enjoying it. Thanks, Lore!

Loved it Mare! I can just imagine AJ moaning all the way, until he realises a sprain is nothing compared to what it could have been. Good thing the girl doesn't know who he is, she might trade him in for a reward otherwise. But I think as they get to know each other better, she might find out who he is and not want to hand him over.
Can't wait for more :)
Author's Response:
Thanks Steph! Yes, maybe this whole ordeal will help him not whine so much! :O)

Glad that he's ok! LOL at him being such a drama queen. That was creepy when she was talking about catching a celebrity. Good thing he didn't say anything at first. Poor thing, I'm sure he's so scared without any of the other guys! The Canada thing is funny...but what is zed? LOL.
Author's Response:
Zed is the way the Canadian's say the letter Z. lol I would be really scared too if I was AJ. Being all alone and not knowing if the others are alive. Thanks Sel! :O)

Author's Response:

Interesting the fact about the canadians...
I'm so happy A.J. is alive! At least he found someone to be with. This girl seems nice, lol. I got a feeling they will have a lot of adventures haha. I'M LOVING THIS!
Author's Response:
Thanks! Yes, I could never kill any of them. It's my one weakness, so far at least lol Glad you're enjoying it and thanks for reading!

You hoser, that there was right some prejudice against Canadians, eh? Oh and zed, maple syrup, and we smoke a lot of weed hence the flag. :P I really enjoyed this chapter and getting some insight into what may have happened. Damn dirty Canucks! By the way look up the movie Canadian Bacon, one of my favs. Once you read a synopsis you will know why I suggested it lol
Author's Response:
LOL I will have to do that, thanks! I never associated the Canadians with weed, it does kind of explain some more things about the Canadians I went to college with though! Thanks Julilly!

The Canadiens....it's always the quiet ones! Seriously, I love the twist of the Canadiens starting the attack. "I would hate to have to explain to whoever met me at the pearly gates why my last word was “FUCK!!!!” - too freaking funny! Star Troopers...the name seems quite appropriate. I adore how you reveal bits of information about the causes of this war. Love the update, Mare!

Author's Response:
lmao I actually laughed when I wrote Star Troopers. I thought, hrmm well that's cheesily appropriate! Thanks for the compliment about revealing the info. I think low and slow is the way to go! Thanks Pam! :O)

*runs thru the streets with a lantern* THE CANADIANS ARE ATTACKING! THE CANADIANS ARE ATTACKING!!
hehe..sorry..that's the first thought that popped into my head. But, poor AJ..he's the only one left all alone. And if that girl is around his age, how in the HELL does she NOT know who he is? Nice chapter...can't wait for the next!
Author's Response:
I don't think I would have known who AJ was either in 99. lol although he is hard to miss. lol Thanks Jen!

AJ is alive! Of course lol. Poor AJ, I loved the line about the idea of having to explain why "FUCK!" is his last word lmao.
LMFAO at Canada being to blame! *sings* Blame Canada...Blame Canada...
I'm also impressed you have a female character. I'm in shock, but impressed lol.
Author's Response:
Of course he's alive. He's a pain in the butt but i'd never kill him. lol yup, a female. That's what i was worried about. Hope I can keep her alive. Thanks Rose!
