This is the sequel to Ashfall, and the second book in what should be a trilogy. After a super-volcano in Yellowstone exploded and sent the world (but especially the Midwest) into an ash-covered nightmare, Alex survived and found his way to an uncle's farm in Illinois with the help of Darla, his more-than-a-girlfriend. Now Alex decides it is time to find his mom and dad, who ventured back into the now-treacherous country of Iowa to find him. Alex might find his parents, but it might be at the expense of the love of his life.
This is a thrilling read- every chapter end compels you to read "just the next chapter." This volume is even a little scary, with a touch of McCarthy's The Road as an influence. I would recommend for both young adults and adults.
