From #1 New York Times bestselling author P. C. Cast comes INTO THE MIST, the first book in a pulse-pounding dystopian duology for our times. Practical Magic meets Station Eleven in this gripping take on female power and the inevitable, destructive path of violent patriarchies. As men fall to the mist, the age of womankind begins to rise. The world as we know it ends when an attack on the U.S. unleashes bombs that deliver fire and biological destruction. Along with sonic detonations and devastating earthquakes, the bombs have also brought the green mist. If breathed in, it is deadly to all menbut alters the body chemistry of many women, imbuing them with superhuman abilities. A group of high school teachers heading home from a conference experiences firsthand the strength of these new powers. Mercury Rhodes is the Warrior, possessing heightened physical powers. Stella Carver is the Seer, with a sixth sense about the future. Imani Andrews is the Watcher, with a rare connection to the earth. Karen Gay is the Priestess, demonstrating a special connection with Spirits. And Gemma Jenkins is the Healer, a sixteen-year-old student who joins the group after losing her parents. As they cross the Pacific Northwest, trying to find a safe place to ride out the apocalypse, the women soon learn they can't trust anyone, and with fresh danger around every corner, it will take all their powers to save themselvesand possibly the world. With timely commentary on power and community, Into the Mist delivers a thrilling and fantastical future that is equal parts a feminist commentary and an amazing, witty adventure filled with wine and women as only P.C. Casts brilliant storytelling can bring to life.

Almost immediately I took this story as a bit of a take off on so many dystopian novels lately.

Bombs drop in Oregon by Mt Hood where a group of teachers are on retreat. It releases a green gas that liquifies men while giving women super powers.

There‘s pop culture, humor, a trek to find a safe place to rebuild. You‘ll meet nice & evil people. I liked that they met nice people.

In the mood for this type of improbably? A quick read.

⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2

Book 163🎧 4⭐️

It did take me a little while to get interested in the story line but it held strong! I‘m hoping for a sequel since there was a lot of base character development in this one, maybe some more weird green mist mystery revealed.

Interested to see where this adventure leads, who is the creator? 🧪

Wow. I'm not usually a reader of Apocalyptic stories. But Fictional Hangover https://www.fictionalhangover.com/ is covering it this week and PC Cast will be guest on Podcast.

Really enjoyed it. I'm curious to see where she takes this in the 2nd book.

I'm from Oklahoma so I recognize all the Locations mentioned. So that was fun. And I've definitely met the holier-than-thou Karen of this book.

I wasn't sure how I would feel about this book. I initially thought it might be a little too much fantasy. It turns out, this horror/sci-fi/women's fiction/fantasy novel was more than I expected. It's dominated by themes of feminism & female friendship. And that ending!! A cliffhanger that has me impatiently waiting for book 2 in this series! ⭐⭐⭐💫

Currently reading... Kind of a different take. Is it women's fiction? Dystopian? Sci Fi? Horror?

I don't know! It feels like it could fit into any of these categories.
