The Last Bookstore on Earth

An apocalyptic storm has wreaked havoc on the world. Haunted by the memories of those she couldn’t save, Liz returns to the only place she felt safe before the world fell away: the bookstore where she used to work. She settles into a routine – operating the shop as a trading post, welcoming stragglers who want to trade supplies for a book or leave behind messages for loved ones.

Then she learns another life-ending storm is coming and she’s nowhere near ready. Until she finds an intruder breaking into the bookstore late at night. Enter Maeve, a guarded, spikey, and potentially dangerous out-of-towner.

When Maeve’s secrets come to light and Liz’s inner demons come back to haunt them both, the pair find themselves fighting for their lives in more ways than one.<>

Report

I was hooked from the first page. The Last Bookstore on Earth has the kind of protagonist that you could follow anywhere. I fell in love. Not just with Liz and Maeve and the bookstore setting, but with the beautifully nuanced sibling relationship of Liz and Thea. This book is life, death and the perfect amount of humour. So beautifully written Jenny Ireland
