Year One by Nora Roberts

5.0

Okay this book had such a relatable premise!! I mean a family becoming victim to a contagious infection which then spreads to the whole world. WHO declares it a pandemic, everyone is on a quarantine and they are wearing mask, gloves, maintaining safe distance, being in a lockdown. Travelling through commercial flights has stopped. And there is no cure since the virus hasn't been researched well or the cause identified. It keeps adapting itself so the new cures are useless. I mean if that premise doesn't sound like covid-19 what does? Hah predicting future lol.

But there are magical folks and only they survive when most of the humans are wiped from the face of the earth. Some are dark and some are fae, magical, healers who are basically immune and are called the "uncanny" so this book looks at various story lines and how each character copes up with their given situation. And they call this infection the "doom".
