About this ebook

In the first book in a terrifying post-apocalyptic duology, it's in the rain...and just one drop will kill you. Perfect for fans of dystopian books!

.27 is a number Ruby hates. It's a number that marks the percentage of the population that has survived. It's a number that means she's one of the "lucky" few still standing. And it's a number that says her father is probably dead.

Against all odds, Ruby has survived the catastrophic onset of the killer rain. Two weeks after the radio started broadcasting the warning, "It's in the rain. It's fatal and there's no cure," the drinkable water is running out. Ruby's left with two options: persevere on her own or embark on a treacherous journey across the country to find her father—if he's even still alive.

Don't miss the breathless conclusion to the H2O duology, The Storm.

Perfect for those looking for:

• Post-apocalyptic survival fiction
• Intriguing and unique takes on a bestselling genre
• Young adult dystopian fiction
• A strong female narrative

Ratings and reviews

The plot is really interesting, but DEAR LORD I hate the main character. She's so typical and whiny. I was begging for her to die as soon as the book started.

I bought the paperback of this book as well as the sequel "Storm". These two books I must say are very entertaining to read. These books will really get you to think differently everytime there is rain.

Best book!!! ALWAYS ON THE EDGE ON MY CHAIR! It took me through an adventure I'll never forget. I thought I was in the book going in a mind of a young 15 year old girl on a mission.
