Book Review: Before This Is Over (Amanda Hickie) @AmandaHickie @littlebrown

Before This Is Over by Amanda Hickie, which is out TODAY,  was a book I was incredibly excited to read. I have always been a fan of apocalyptic and pandemic stories, so when I read the synopsis for this novel, I was more than thrilled.   Upon further investigation, I found out that the premise for this novel was inspired by the events of the SARS outbreak in Toronto when the author was living in Canada with her family. I thought that was incredibly interesting, not only because I am Canadian, but also because I can remember this event and the hysteria during this time.   Hickie does a brilliant job at capturing this feeling throughout the pages of her novel.

So excited to be sharing our collaborative reviews of The Cutaway by Christina Kovac (which is out TOMORROW!)

I read this book last week and was so glad to read a book with such a twist on the traditional police procedural type novel.   This one is told through the eyes of a journalist.

Keep reading for a synopsis of the book and to find out what we thought about this one….
