Not Guilty of Books

  INTO ELYSIUM The Resistance - Book One by AM Johnson Release Date: March 27, 2025 Review Dystopian is not normally my jam, but I would follow AM Johnson pretty much anywhere.  And I’m glad I did. This novella was touching in the midst of the ugly and dreary. The scene is bleak and it feels a little like a foretelling given the unprecedented times we are living in, but there is still hope and love, and that’s always been the beauty of humanity.  No matter what is going on around us, people always manage to find community and love. Eben and Cale are sweet guys who have found the determination to survive that horrible life they find themselves living. But, along the way they find a community that provides some love and light and hope for the future. It also sets us up for more of this series. I just have to say - Landon better be okay.
