One horrifying day will change the life of sixteen-year-old Shane Tucker and every other kid in the world.
In a span of mere hours, the entire adult population is decimated, leaving their children behind to fend for themselves and deal with the horrific aftermath of the freak occurrence. As one of the newly made elders in his small town, Shane finds himself taking on the role of caretaker for a … caretaker for a large group of juvenile survivors. One who just happens to be Kelly Douglas — an out-of-his-league classmate — who, on any other day, would have never given Shane a second glance.
Together, they begin their quest to find out why all of the adults were slaughtered. What they find is even more horrifying than anything they could have expected — the annihilation of the adults was only the beginning. Shane and his friends are not the unlucky survivors left to inherit this new, messed-up planet. No, they are its next victims. There is an unknown power out there, and it won’t stop until every person in the world is dead.
A spine-tingling adventure that will have you gasping for breath all the way until the last page, The Last Orphans is the first book in an all-new apocalyptic series.

Great read loved it.
I am not a sci-fi fan, but I loved this book. It kept me totally engaged. Quite original. A bit disturbing in some parts. Again, the issue of not being able to find the other books in the series.
It was difficult to read continuously because it was stressful for me. Good story , good characters. I enjoy book that help me escape to a peaceful place. I’m not certain If I finished reading it or not. While I was reading this book I was the caregiver for mom 100 year old mom, that in itself was stressful. I may try to read it again in …
Sad and wonderful at the same time ~ these kids find their way through a truly terrifying world . . .
Loved it and whole series
The end comes too fast…or rather the set up for the next book. I’ll have to get the next one to find out how some adults escaped the virus.
Different
I’m a bit undecided on this one,was ok but I felt it dragged on a bit
This was a great book with lots of action.
Too gruesome for my tastes.
Pretty violent. I was pre-reading it in hopes of finding something for grandkids to read. Too much violence for my taste.
Love how Shane took control even though he had his own misgivings and all the other characters.
Great read
It started out great, I guess I expected more? Just not for me.
Didn’t care for it at all
Interesting premise, but weak writing and just too far fetched.
