This was a really enjoyable read and I’m grateful to have had the chance to review it with an ARC.

These books tell the story of Frankie and Yorke, with the additional characters of Auden and Beast (my personal favourite) who become very important to the central story the further along the story goes. Over the course of the story the reader gets to see how a deadly virus plays out, from the early stages when it hasn’t quite had the full deadly effects on the world, to a kind of post-apocalyptic world that has been almost entirely destroyed by it. I loved how it played things out from a point before it had wholly effected the world to the after effects of a world that had almost entirely been wiped out by it. This was one of the strongest parts of the story for me because you get to see how terrifying it really is for people to endure, and how people go about surviving when it becomes clear this virus could take out most, if not all of, society.

Frankie’s point of view for me was the strongest, as I felt there was so much character development for her and so much going on in her story. From losing one of the most important people in her life, to learning to cope with this and move on with what life she can manage. And then taking on the role of motherhood which she hadn’t expected or set out to do.

Beast is the very important animal sidekick and I loved his presence throughout these books. And I was surprising taken in by Auden, a young boy orphaned and forced to move past this and learn to trust and love a complete stranger. Frankie and Auden’s developing bond was so pure and became such an essential part of the story. I didn’t enjoy Yorkie’s POV quite as much but I did enjoy the developing relationship between him and Frankie, as well as the little tidbits about his life and view that became so important later on.

All together I really did enjoy this read and really want to see where it goes in the fourth part.

Thanks to NetGalley and Mindless Muse Publishing for an advanced readers copy in exchange for an honest review.

4+ stars

End of world books remain my favorite, even after living thru Covid 19. After the Plague contains books 1-3 of the series (Broken, Lost and Found). I devoured the book and very excited that book 4, Safe, is already out.

99% of the world succumbs to a virus. Artist Frankie loses her husband and feels very unprepared for the new world order. Yorke is a highly trained soldier and has the skills to survive. They meet up and try to survive together.

My very dry review is not doing this fast paced book justice. I got wrapped up in Frankie and Yorke's world and truly enjoyed it. I highly recommend this book.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the eARC.

I didn't know what to expect from this book since I don't usually read post-apocalyptic fiction but I can tell you this didn't disappoint. The amount of tension and stress that went through me as I read these first 3 volumes is tremendous. I kept threatening the air while reading this, saying that if somebody died, I'd throw my kindle across the room (then I calmed down and realized that throwing my kindle would do no good). I look forward to having more stress-induced thoughts when I read volume 4!

What can I say about this book except that I loved it. I am a fan of the post-apocalyptic novel and this one did not disappoint at all. The story written in a way that you feel like you are right there experiencing what out main characters are dealing with in their struggles to survive. I couldn't put it down and can't wait for the next book in the series. Five stars!

I really enjoyed these volumes. Im eager to see where the story continues from here, and what else happens. I like the lil smutty bits. Just a nice sprinkle here, and there. Nice character developments. Just a great job. Thanks!


(I will be posting to good reads and my tiktok book roundup)

I LOOOOVE IT!!! It was such an amazing series, and I can’t wait for the next book to come out. It was the perfect mix of romance, heartbreak and action. It is the series that we all need to escape this pandemic and step into a new out-of-this-world pandemic that is similar to ours but at the same time totally different. In some points it hit a little too close to what is happening now, but overall, it was amazing. The whole time I was reading it I was at the edge of my seat just waiting to find out what happens next. I would really recommend this series for everyone who likes out-of-this-world pandemics with a little romance to spice things up. 😊

I love love love dystopian, end of the world books, massive plague and war-ending the world as we know it books. Even now, after covid has turned everyday life on it's head, I still enjoy them. I wasn't sure how much I would until I started this great book. I realized that I had actually read sections of this novel previously when it was released as novellas. This new, improved version is much better.

In AFTER THE PLAGUE 99% of the population dies due to virus. The world is practically empty and there is no way to communicate or learn more about other parts of the country much less the city. Background out of the way, we then meet Frankie, an everyday young woman (20's)l who is also strong willed and grieving as she searches for a television newscaster whom she saw on tv before the electricity went out.

Joined by a darling young child, a wonderful dog and soldier, Frankie begins a journey through Washington D.C that is filled with adventures and upsets and a couple of interesting characters. True humanity is revealed as some take to arming themselves and preying on the week.

The book is fast moving and filled with the ups and downs that you would expect in an odyssey. It's labeled as a "sexy thriller" so keep that in mind. To me, it was close to a young adult novel but very enjoyable, very believable and a great ride. If you like dystopia or end-of-the-world novels, you can't go wrong by adding this to your collection! #NetGalley #AfterThePlague

This edition collects the first 3 volumes of the After the Plague series. If you want to escape the real pandemic and read about a future-set fictional pandemic give this series a try. It is non-stop, unputdownable entertainment.

Recommended for: pandemic readers, dystopian fans that enjoy their apocalypse without zombies

Content warning: threats of sexual assault, death, violence, kidnapping

I received a digital copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This series was a wonderful journey. It was a perfect blend of romance, heartbreak,humour and action. I'm gonna be thinking about this for years to come.

I'm ridiculously in love with this series.

This is the first three books, meeting Frankie, Yorke, Auden, and Beast-dog. We follow their journey from being hit with a devastating pandemic to navigating this post-apocalypse world and trying to find their place in it with strangers who become family.

It's heart-wrenching at times because of the loss and relatable difficulties, and made me ugly-cry—which is no small feat. But there's also a consistent message of hope for what can come next in this new world.

I highly recommend this read for lovers of pandemic, dystopian, and post-apocalypse fiction, as well as romance readers who like an enticing plotline and don't mind cliffhangers and slow-burns with steam.

99 percent of the population are dead from a mysterious plague. Only One percent remain to pick up the pieces.
Frankie is part of the one percent, she has no skills to survive this post apocalyptic world but somewhere deep inside she finds the will to survive.

I loved, loved, loved this series and I cannot wait for the next book in the series. I’m a sucker for post apocalyptic books and this has to be my favourite so far.

Frankie is a great character, strong and resourceful. I really felt for her in the beginning, losing her husband and having nothing left to live for but each day she finds the strength to carry on.

Yorke has all the skills to survive in this new world. He is trained to kill and survive. But with Frankie he has a real soft side.

Imogen keeper is a great storyteller, her characters are likeable and are easy to relate to. The story flows at a good pace and for me has just the right amount of romance.

Thank you to NetGalley, Mindless Muse Publishing & the author for providing me with an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review!

Going into this book I wasn’t sure how I would feel about the concept of a post pandemic apocalyptic setting, but it definitely intrigued me and I’m glad I decided to read it. I’m definitely glad volumes one through three are being released in one edition as I found the first part of the book a bit lacklustre and reminiscent of a prologue, but as the second and third parts progressed the pace picked up and I became quite attached to the characters.

At the same time, I didn’t find the plot completely gripping and there wasn’t anything exceptional about the writing style so I have rated this 3 stars.

Hit home a little too much with covid. I was freaked out and it was hard to get through. I think this could be reread when covid has kind of dispersed and we’re not all dying. Not for the feint of heart.

I looooved this book!
I flew through it in 3 days and enjoyed every page. The pacing was wonderful, there was always somehting hapening, quite often i was sitting on the edge of my chair! (is that an actual saying or did i make it up??)
At the beginning i thought it would be overly erotic but there was just the right amount of steamieness in it.
I have already preordered book 4 and i cannot wait for it to come out soon!!!

usually when i have more than one volume to read from a series, for me to go from one to another and simply read it all i need to be fairly in love... (my kindle has so many deleted volumes from series in which, i only read the first book and deleted the rest because it wasnt what i needed in the moment) and i must say that is what happened here, i felt in love, hard, from the first book until the third, i cried, laughed, the complete run, and quoting a sentence of this book,

"someday, i'm going to die. I want this to be one of my last memories."

i couldnt put it down, i know its not that big, but i read it in 3 days, and now i am sulking because i wanted to have the 4th book and so on... honestly this book after the plague is that good!! at least for me... because a book that make me cry at the death of a character or if it simply brings tears to my eyes, that means, that is deeply touching me inside, and Imogen Keeper is that talented in bringing characters to life...

at first i thought that i wouldnt like frankie, she was the kind of person hidding from what was around her (this was her in the first chapter of the first volume), she has grown so much, brighter than the sun really...

yorke like i said its the perfect man, he knows what he wants, and he knows, that he must be patient, and oh boy, is he patient?! much more than i could possibly ask for, even when he is passing a tought patch he is still himself.. ah i love him hahah ^__^

anyway this is the kind of story that makes my heart go thump thump, that i really needed to read and didnt know i needed... if you like post-apocalyptical stories, with people getting their strength back up and trying to rebuild their lifes, with diferent point of views, (you have a female point of view Frankie, and a male point of view Yorke) and the way they think the sound of their voices is diferent, loved that... there has some heat, and while for some people it wasnt enough, for me it was plenty ^^

thank you NetGalley and Imogen Keeper for the ARC, one that i sincerely loved <3, and i am leaving this review voluntarely

A nice slowburn romance set in an apocalyptic world. It reminded me of Year One by Nora Roberts but without the magic.

I got this arc in exchange for an honest review.

Mindless Muse Publishing,
Thank You😘 for this three set ebook copy!
So I have to ask is Imogen Keeper doing a fourth book? Because I sure hope so!

After the Plague is a set of three books in one!
And its so damn good, I couldn't stop reading!

This is the type of post apocalypse I can devour and that I did!
Keeper added some romance in the mix and BAM we have a masterpiece here!
Her characters Yorke and Frankie are realistic and flawed!
This writing is something amazing, it's brilliant and compelling! Had me addicted wanting to read more!
I couldn't get enough of the story.
Its very well written and a plot that is so overwhelming with realistic, gut wrenching instincts to survive in this new world they are living in.
If you enjoy a good apocalypse book.... You need to pick this up now!
You will be so entertained, hanging on the edge will anticipation and loving every minute of it!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Thank you again Publisher, NetGalley and Author for the chance to read this amazing set!
