I absolutely love these characters they're so relatable. Sasha and Stephen are such an amazing couple, but Sasha is just outstanding in many ways. I love how down to earth and real this character is along with the humor throughout this series. I also really liked the supporting characters and the story line.

The only thing that I didn't care for is the constant typos and the nonstop starting of a sentence with but or and. Otherwise I would have given this book and the others in this series all 5 stars.

I have only read the first book but this character has real potential. She is maybe a little too pretty as are many of the characters, but she is broken and has issues to deal with as well. The writing is good although the author would benefit from a good flow reader. She sometimes uses the same word or phrase several times in close proximity and occasionally insert odd phases that the character speaking would not use. English vs American slang for instance. But these are things that would make it more polished not about her story framing itself. I look forward to reading the next one and watching her characters develope.

Mostly really love the whole series. My one big complaint is that I feel the characters are all a bit interchangeable from book to book. I think they needed more individuality. But I still really like the series.

Maybe it is because I am a mess that I enjoy books with such flawed characters.  I will always find the excess around the rich impossible to understand, but it didn't detract from how much I enjoyed the characters, writing style, or storyline.

I read this entire series over the weekend, they keep getting better. I like how they follow the characters you already know and introduce new ones. This book had me tearing up at times, lots of story and lots of drama, but not too much that you get lost or lose interest. Looking forward to the next book.

I would like voice one complaint, the covers of these books are awful, glad I bought the kindle editions. This one specifically--the guy looks like something is wrong with him, he's got a very "duh" look on his face.

I love the Born series. I just wish it were edited better. The book had more plot flaws than the first, but I stuck with it because it's addicting. Definitely worth a read but not perfect.

I love the story, which deserves 5 stars, and I will DEFINITELY read the next book. The writing is good, the characters are funny, and even though I was able to guess who the "bad guys" were fairly early on, it was still an engaging read.

The reason I didn't give it 5 stars is due to several glaring and distracting transcription errors. They occur later in the book, but they definitely threw me out of the flow of the story. One of these is an issue with dialogue and there are a number of places where articles such as "a" and "the" are left out. Not the worst I've ever seen, but for a widely and professionally published book (rather than someone's self-published manuscript) I tend to find these kind of issues unacceptable.

I am not a particular fan of dystopian stories, but I really am enjoying this series.  I think it's the great character building & the way he talks is the way I talk in real life.  One thing I noticed in this book more than the others is why I can only figure is poor editing.  Lots of places where there is just a word dropped, but no misspellings that I noticed.  Still love the author's style which is very down to earth & realistic.  Looking forward to what happens next!

This is a great series and it's going to drive me crazy waiting for the next book to be released. I do have to say though that I was distracted by all the errors in this story. A lot of bad spellings, grammar errors and other things. I just have to say that it seems as if this book was rushed out to meet a deadline. I know that things like that can ruin a great story for some people. To me, it was a little distracting, but I love this series and the characters so much, that I can over look it. But, because Angela says that she really reads these reviews, I wanted to be honest with her. If you really need us out here to let you know that there are problems, then I feel honor bound to be honest and tell you that there is some. I wish I could throw my hat in the ring and say that I would love to read the next book and try to help, but I have never done that before and I'm not sure that I could do a good job. I am a voracious reader. I read a book a day, if not more, if I am really enjoying the story. And I really want to let everyone know that I think people who are looking to survive the next upcoming events, are smarter than those of us who walk through this life not believing that it's not going to happen. Cuz we will be the dead seen on the side of the road. All you have to do is watch what is happening in the world today to understand that it's coming, and soon. Keep up the great work sweet Lady. I can't wait for the next book. Thanks again Angela.

I do love these books really but the only thing I'm not so happy about is some of the characters can be a bit crazy at times.

Love this series. John is a great character. There is only two things that didn't quite jive with me. One that with all the times he survived and Rachel did how he could think his wife couldn't. Also why he never checked the incoming refugee list for Katie. The other issue is if he dog and Rachel survived the river why couldn't roach. So with that in mind why not update roaches file?  Anyways can't wait for next book.

I loved that the MCs were both so flawed and yet there was so much redeeming about them. They were an unusual pairing that shouldn't have worked and yet it did. I usually hate an MC that's too stupid to live, but it was done with humor and self-awareness and that made it so enjoyable to watch their foibles. I look forward to the next books in the series.
