After a string of devastating hurricanes and a severe outbreak of Delta Fever, the Gulf Coast has been quarantined. Years later, residents of the Outer States are under the assumption that life in the Delta is all but extinct… but in reality, a new primitive society has been born.
Fen de la Guerre is living with the O-Positive blood tribe in the Delta when they are ambushed. Left with her tribe leader’s newborn, Fen is determined to get the baby to a better life over the wall before her blood becomes tainted. Fen meets Daniel, a scientist from the Outer States who has snuck into the Delta illegally. Brought together by chance, kept together by danger, Fen and Daniel navigate the wasteland of Orleans. In the end, they are each other’s last hope for survival.
Sherri L. Smith delivers an expertly crafted story about a fierce heroine whose powerful voice and firm determination will stay with you long after you’ve turned the last page.
The world loves stories about its end. How it will come to the inevitable demise. Sherri's novel 'Orleans' is no different. After a series of hurricanes that caused massive destruction and halted all plans for rebuilding, an illness spread. Cultures divided by blood type turned into vicious vampireesc desires. Hope still remains however in the form of a devastating vial which may one day kill the virus without killing the host and a baby who remains pure if taken out of the environment prior to infection.
If it wasn't that hard to pick up on, I am having a really hard time trying to explain this novel to you but you see... That is what happens with good books. You become so engulfed in the world that you just can not fathom how extraordinary it is. I would definitely read this book again in the future or any other similar books by this author, it was just amazing. Hopefully you will take my word on it and read them yourself!
