“SURVIVING IN THE AFTER” PLAYLIST By Demitria Lunetta
In the After doesn’t have a lot of music in it, but that doesn’t mean that it doesn’t have a soundtrack. Songs have so much power, they can be so vital to experiencing raw emotion. This playlist is full of songs that echo a character’s emotion/mental state. To represent the apocalypse I chose a lot of the gritty nineties songs I love, but acoustic versions that seem more honest. I also picked a few covers that made me rethink a much-loved original, making it new and fresh and fitting.
1. “Sweet Dreams” by Marilyn Manson: “Sweet Dreams” makes you feel out of place, in a horrifying dream world that you don’t really understand. It’s perfect for Amy’s first experience of the After, when normality is shattered and all she’s left with is the horror that remains.
2. “Radioactive” by Imagine Dragons: “Radioactive” makes me think of a harsh post-apocalyptic world, but also of dealing with and surviving in that world. Its grainy beat pummels your senses, but also comes off as somehow hopeful.
3. “Black Dove (January)” by Tori Amos: For me, this song represents Amy and Baby in the After together. They only have each other.
4. “Down in a Hole (unplugged)” by Alice in Chains: “Down in a Hole” is so full of pain and anguish. It shows desperation and despair, which visits Amy just before the end of part one of In the After.
5. “Here Comes the Sun” by Yuna: I chose a version of this song that was eerily haunting. There is hope, but also fear. This song is for Amy, when she literally steps back out into the sun and feels real hope for the first time in years. This song also represents the appearance of Rice.
6. “Rebel Girl” by Bikini Kill: This song makes me think of all the kick-butt girl characters, Amy, Kay, even Vivian and Amber. It’s about being who you are, not what everyone else wants you to be.
7. “Machine Gun” by Portishead: This song represents Amy’s feelings of confusion and agitation when she first arrives in New Hope. Amy is so used to living in the After, with just Baby for company, that the change to New Hope is jarring. Even though she should feel safe, all she feels is wary.
8. “Mad World” by Gary Jules: For me, this song perfectly represents the Ward. The lyrics are dark while the music feels uplifting. It presents itself as one thing, but when you dig deeper, it’s something different.
9. “Hurt” by Johnny Cash: This song is so full of despair and depression, it’s for the bad time Amy has in the Ward.
10. “Save Yourself” by Stabbing Westward: Leading from despair, this song also has just the right amount of anger. I think it represents when Amy finds her fire again.
11. “Woke from Dreaming” by The Delgados: This is Amy’s full realization of her situation, when the flashbacks catch up to the present. Amy remembers everything that she’s discovered in New Hope and has to deal with the emotional pain that entails.
12. “Uprising” by Muse: Amy rediscovers her resolve. She’s found the answers she sought and now knows that she must fight for what she knows to be right.
13. “Happiness is a Warm Gun” by The Breeders: The haunting sound of The Breeders lends a spine-chilling aspect to this classic Beatles song. It represents determination but also struggle.
14. “Runaway” by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs: This song makes me think of Amy leaving everyone she loves, including Baby, Rice, and Kay.
15. “Sounds of Silence” by Simon and Garfunkel: As with the first song, this song represents the After. I love that this song is more than just a song about silence—it’s about social change and standing against the established powers.
From School Library Journal
Gr 8 Up–Readers barely have a chance to meet 14-year-old Amy before the world ends, which means that, like her, they are thrust into a terrifying and confusing urban wasteland with next to no warning. The general consensus is that aliens attacked Earth, but Amy doesn't understand how these creatures, who can barely see and are single-mindedly driven by their appetite for human flesh, could have created the technology necessary for space travel. She doesn't have much time to muse about it, though, as she spends most of her energy figuring out how to survive along with Baby, a toddler she found miraculously alive in a grocery store. But when Amy and Baby are dragged into a helicopter and transported to New Hope, the largest human settlement on the continent (governed by her mother, who survived thanks to her government job), Amy begins to learn the truth about the predators and the world her mother is trying to rebuild. The story is incredibly fast paced with tight, clear prose and interesting dialogue. The characters aren't particularly well developed, but the plot is gripping and suspenseful. Apocalyptic fiction is a crowded field but this title, particularly the final revelations, stands out.–Kyle Lukoff, Corlears School, New York Cityα(c) Copyright 2013.

From Booklist
Lunetta’s debut novel is a postapocalyptic page-turner with complex history and intriguing philosophical issues. Amy is 14 and home alone watching television when they attack—human-shaped aliens with poor vision, excellent hearing, and an endless appetite for human flesh. Within days Amy’s world has changed forever. While she herself is safe in the solar-powered home, there’s no water, electricity, television, radio, or even people in her wealthy Chicago neighborhood. With her parents and friends gone, Amy is lonely and miserable until she discovers a toddler in an abandoned supermarket. “Baby” and Amy bond, and Amy teaches Baby sign language, as any sort of sound attracts the aliens. Three years later, the girls are rescued and taken to the community of New Hope, where survivors are gathering to try to repopulate Earth and kill the aliens. Amy is shocked and delighted to discover her scientist mother is director of the community, but as she learns the secrets behind the apparent peaceful safety of New Hope, she realizes the safety comes at too great a price. An abrupt cliff-hanger of an ending promises a sequel. Grades 7-12. --Debbie Carton

The world building is riveting, the pace fast and the plot tense and hopeful.
By Wendy L. Hines
When THEY attack, Amy is home alone, her father went to the store and her mother to work. Most of the world is dead, but Amy quickly learns how to survive. Thanks to her dad's way of green living, she has water, a rooftop garden, power and an electric fence. She learns to scavenge without being heard, and she hasn't spoken a word in years. When scavenging at a grocery, she finds an injured toddler and takes her home. She names her Baby, and they create their own sign language and live like that for years. Then the meet Amber.
They try to help Amber but she brings others to the house, and Amy and Baby escape. But their journey is short-lived when they are captured by the alien-craft. They soon find themselves in New Hope, a colony of survivors starting over trying to rebuild society. At first, it seems like there was safety, food and shelter, but Amy is a curious person and delves deeper into their secrets. It's not long before Amy is fighting for herself and Baby, and something has to give if either of them is to survive.
In the After is a page-turning dystopian thriller with a compelling heroine. The bond Amy and Baby form is strong, yet tender and I was hoping for a great outcome for them both. A romance is alluded to for Amy but it doesn't really go anywhere, so if you're looking for the cookie cutter love triangle, you won't find it here. The world building is riveting, the pace fast and the plot tense and hopeful. I can't wait for the next one!!

You Will Want To Read This One
By Shawn Kovacich
Amy is a young teenager when THEY attack. Both of her parents are out of the house and she is home alone. Thank goodness her mother was prepared and had an electric fence and solar panels installed into their house. When THEY start destroying everything, Amy still has something to protect her. But when the food runs out, Amy has to learn how to survive and forage. Amy then finds three year old Baby in a grocery store. Although she debates not taking her, she decides to rescue her.
Years later, while Amy and Baby are foraging, they come across another survivor. They are then rescued and are sent to New Hope, a survivor's colony where they should be safe. Of course, nothing is as it seems and New Hope isn't as great as they first thought.
I liked the concept of this book. You get dropped into great action from the first page. I liked how you learned about the back story without having to slog through those pages before things get interesting.
I wished Amy's mom would have done more training for survival situations. Why have a house that is all decked out if you are not going to have everyone on the same page about what to do in the even of an emergency. Anyway, personal pet peeve, I loved how it was set up.
And we always have to have some kind of love interest even if it could have been left out and not made a difference. There was also the predictable New Hope isn't as great as you first think. I liked the aliens and they reason they were there.
The book ends with a big cliffhanger. There will be more books and I can't wait to see what happens next. But it is also done in a way that this book could be a stand alone.
This is one that you will want to read. If you like post apocalyptic books, where with zombies or aliens, you will want to read this one.

Dystopic Thrill Ride!
By Amazon Customer
While not without its flaws (and I will get to those later in the review), the book is an adrenaline rush. It is action-packed and "white-knuckle scary" at points. The prose is fluid and highly readable -- the book almost reads itself, which is helpful, because the reader will not want to put it down until he/she is done! Amy (the main character) is likable and believable, as is her sister. The villains (especially the female villain) are complex and their motivations are understandable, though not excusable. Lots of questions are resolved in the first book of a series, but many remain, and I am eagerly awaiting the second book.
WARNING: PARTIAL SPOILER ALERT.
I am giving the book five stars, but I realize that it has some problems -- as virtually every book in this genre has. First, there are some logical holes in the story. I cannot go into great detail about them without giving away spoilers, but here is one example: "Them" (the living-and-breathing killing "machines") eat all animal life but will eat their own kind only if their own kind is injured; after they have gorged themselves on most of humanity, what are they now eating, and why haven't they turned to cannibalism? Another logical problem is the pitiful protection that one surviving city has from Them; anyone would know that their plan is ridiculously inadequate and yet nothing is done. A third problem relates to when Amy sees Them getting out of the ship; why that event happened was never explained. Finally, there is the problem of the oceans and transportation (I am leaving this example vague intentionally).
Second, other problems center on motivation and ethical dilemmas. I will be a bit vague to avoid spoilers, but why is Amy worried about whether Paul will live or not? -- that just seemed silly, given the events that had just happened. As the same time, what Amy's mom did with "Hannah" really came out of nowhere and was unmotivated. It did not fit what we knew about the mom.
Third, the author telegraphs many of the plot twists. In fairness, an audience of tweens and teens may not have read enough books in this category to be able to anticipate where the plot is going. Adult readers, however, will have "connected the dots" well before Amy does. (Yes, Amy is a bit dense at points, but under the circumstances, her failure to comprehend is probably reasonable.) Also in fairness, this book is about action, action, and more action -- it is not intended to be an intricately plotted novel.
Fourth, I did not like the use of flashbacks in the middle of the novel (and at the very beginning). I understand the reasons for them -- and I think that the author handled them well, under the circumstances. (I liked the use of different fonts.) Still, I do think that this technique took away too much of the immediacy of the story.
Finally (and this comment is not a criticism, but it is a warning), I would not recommend this book for any younger than 15. It absolutely could induce nightmares! If the reader cannot handle horror novels, he/she should probably pass on this one.
Enjoy the ride! It is a great read!
