This is my 126th read for the year

This is the story of Malorie.  Is starts 6 years after the world changed when creatures arrived.  If you look. these creatures will make you go mad and hurt yourself or others.  Malorie and her two children, Tom and Olympia, have been living at a School for the Blind in relative safely.  But when that ends, she and her children find themselves back out in the world looking for somewhere safe to call home.  10 years pass where Malorie, Tom and Olympia stay hidding on a campgrounds.  One day a man comes to the door and says he is doing a census to see who is still out there.  He leaves a copy at the camp, and Malorie discovers there are people alive that she must find.  She and her children decide to risk it all to find out if it is true.

This was a pretty good book.  It is a ast read, and a good follow up to Bird Box.  It starts right where the last book (and movie) left off.  I loved that it jumped 10 more years into the future and now Tom and Olympia are 16 years old.  The writing is decent, and I was interested where the story was going.  There is a bit of a twist in the end with Olympia, which was pretty neat.  Characters are well developed. Glad I read this one.
