A postapocalyptic novel with a cinematic twist from New York Times bestseller Barry Lyga, actor Peter Facinelli, and producer Robert DeFranco.
On the ruined planet Earth, where 50 billion people are confined to megacities and resources are scarce, Deedra has been handed a bleak and mundane existence by the Magistrate she works so hard for. But one day she comes across a beautiful boy named Rose struggling to cross the river--a boy with a secretive past and special abilities, who is somehow able to find comfort and life from their dying planet.
But just as the two form a bond, it is quickly torn apart after the Magistrate's son is murdered and Rose becomes the prime suspect. Little do Deedra and Rose know how much their relationship will affect the fate of everyone who lives on the planet.

From School Library Journal
Gr 9 Up—Facinelli, aka Dr. Carisle Cullen from the "Twilight" movies, and producer DeFranco team up with YA author Lyga to create a powerful postapocalyptic novel. This particular version of the future is so far post the apocalypse that no one can remember how exactly they got there, though theories abound, most of them involving a "red rain" that may or may not have killed half of the world's population. The main character, Deedra, was raised in an orphanage and now leads a plodding, government-controlled existence working in a factory and scavenging on her days off. It is on one of these trips that she meets the oddly named Rose, a boy her age who seems to have come from nowhere and is completely different from anyone she's ever met. When Rose's true nature is revealed—not a vampire or robot but something far stranger and more interesting—Deedra realizes that he may be the key to saving their dying world. She just needs to save him first. The story moves along without feeling rushed, and with the exception of the scenery-chewing magistrate, characters are fully formed and subtly drawn. VERDICT Not just another dystopia: strong characters and adept world-building make this work stand out from the crowd.—Eliza Langhans, Hatfield Public Library, MA
Review
"A fast-paced, nail-biting, action-packed must-read with a compelling commentary on the consequences of overpopulation."―Emily Griffin, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Something Borrowed and The One & Only
"Stunning...like a future-shock movie playing in your head."―Lee Child, author of the Jack Reacher series
"A powerful tale of the essence of truth and the strength of free will set in an Orwellian world brimming with imagination."―CJ Lyons, New York Times bestselling author of Watched
"Not just another dystopia: strong characters and adept world-building make this work stand out."―School Library Journal
"Rose's true genetic nature is unexpectedly novel, and that--combined with striking imagery, thrilling action, and adolescent true love--makes this a sure bet. Best-selling Barry Lyga gets his mitts on dystopian romance? Better get two."
―Booklist

Good Lord, That Twist!
By OutlawPoet
Ever read a book that leaves you speechless - and not in a good way?
I'm struggling a bit with this review because I really like to concentrate on the good whenever I can. So, here we go...It's different.
In the beginning, we have some basic dystopia with a few interesting elements. The author(s) got me really curious about this world. I wanted to know more about it. Unfortunately, though, the world building is sparse and I never really felt any authenticity. Every time Deedra would say something or question something about her world, I found that I simply never believed it.
And then there was Rose.
Oh, how I wish I could tell you Rose's secret and let you in on the big twist. I can't. I can only say that I hated it, I didn't believe it, and I couldn't get past it. I'm good with weird. I'm not so good with utterly ridiculous. Guess which side of the fence this falls on?
I can't recommend this book. It reads like an idea a few guys had while sitting around the bar, thinking "This will make a great book!"
I'm sorry. It doesn't.

Dark look into the far future
By Cheryl Stout
AFTER THE RED RAIN is a dark, dreary look at a far distant dystopian future. People have forgotten the details but in the far past, half the world's population - 50 billion people - were wiped off the face of the earth.
In the future, everyone accepts the status quo - power hungry magistrates, deadly air and water conditions, everyone except the elite being on starvation diets. The endless cities are rubble with people living in the ruins. Protagonist Deedra Ward lives in a tiny apartment and works at a factory, assembling parts to earn food ration coupons.
One day, while out scavenging, she saves a beautiful young man named Rose and her life is changed forever.
I liked the idea behind the story. It just lost a lot in translating it to the page. There were many spots where the story dragged. And I just wasn't convinced about the romantic turns the story took.
I wanted more worldbuilding in the tale, more details about the people and the whys of the apocalypse. And I wanted more character development of the main characters - they were pretty one dimensional.
It was readable but rather boring.
NOTE: I received this book from Little Brown Books for Young Readers through Net Galley in exchange for my honest review.

Dark and gloomy but oh-so-absorbing...
By Rhianna Walker
I've been making a habit of randomly picking up books that I see on Instagram and reading them without even having read the blurb. It's been a fun experiment and so far AFTER THE RED RAIN has probably been one of my favorites. It has one of the best opening chapters I've read in ages. I actually started it while sitting in a waiting room and had to hold back all the winces and pained faces I wanted to make... then a few days later I read it out loud to my husband. The next night as I sat reading he asked me how my morbid book was going. lol
So if you want to jump into a read that's dark and dreary and a little depressing I definitely recommend picking up AFTER THE RED RAIN. If you enjoy romantic sub-plots, however, this is also deeply satisfying on that level. Where I feel it really shines though is as a science fiction parable with a focus on ecology. This is one YA world you won't want to live in.
Deedra is strangely naive and I honestly found her tough to like at times. In contrast Rose is very intriguing and about as mysterious as a character can get. Without spoiling anything I'll just say that I really, really hope there will be further books to follow because I still have so many questions about him. Most of the secondary characters play vital but small roles in the storyline.
On the whole, this is a book that is really fast-paced and engrossing with it's only major flaw being that it might have had a few too many fingers involved in the plotting. If you're at all into YA scifi and post-apocalyptic I'd definitely suggest you check it out.
