REVIEW - Beacon (Kindled #8) by Claire Kent

The Book
Release Date: 11 October 2024

It might have taken ten years for Mack to fall apart, but now he has disappeared.

He's been the heart of our community since Impact, keeping all of us alive in a hostile, unstable world. Now he's been hurt after fighting one too many battles. He's retreated into a massive, dangerous forest to live on his own, and he won't come out.

Mack and I had an on-and-off relationship for years, but it's always been no strings attached. After a toxic marriage, I can't commit to another man until I'm confident I can stand on my own. But some things are more important than the emotional baggage I've always carried. Mack is more important.

And it's time to bring him home.

Beacon is a post-apocalyptic romance set in the near future after a global catastrophe, and it includes violence and (secondary) character death. It's the eighth and final book in the Kindled series.

My Review    4 STARS
**My thanks to the author for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**

This is the last book in the series and we finally get Anna and Mack story, characters that have been in many of the previous books and we also get to see many other characters from previous books too.

Mack had been emotionally wounded in the last book after he helped come to the rescue of others and is now licking his wounds in the cabin that Chloe's grandfather had put together in case of an event like impact.

Everyone is worried about Mack and 6 Months later it is Anna that goes to find him hoping to bring him back.  

But Mack is not the man he used to be.It takes patience and being herself that slowly brings him out of his shell, along with his desire to protect Anna.

The pair are semi good about talking to each other and keeping the air clear, however it soon appears that they have strong feelings for each other than they thought, especially when Anna is hurt and when she wants to help Maria and her group help the farmers with the rebel problem.  Mack has to find how the new him will cope.

Although I really did enjoy this book, it fell a little flatter than previous books, but I still did enjoy it and it had a decent amount of spice.
