Last Woman #0
Fever
Mills Run, Ohio is not much different from any other small town. The residents have a bond and kinship. Nothing in the town is state-of-the-art, except perhaps the ferry. The townspeople brag that Mills Run is isolated, and at times, cut off from the rest of the world. However, not even Mills Run is secluded enough for a global pandemic. When an outbreak of H7N2, or as the news calls it, Whitby Fever, begins striking cats and dogs, it is newsworthy, but not panic-inducing. After all, instances of cross- breed infection with H7N2 are rare. Clare Ashton knew better, yet she was labeled insane when she tried to get the word out, until it is confirmed that Whitby Fever has crossed the boundaries, spreading from domestic pets to humans at an astronomical rate. The virus causes such a high fever, that the body succumbs in days. It is everywhere. The death rate is out of control. Mills Run is not immune and neither are the townspeople. Clare, like every other mother, sister, and daughter in the world, does her part to fight and help those around her who she loves. A face mask may be her armor, her good heart may be her shield, but there is no weapon to defeat the fever because there is no cure. Mother Nature rages a viral war against the world and Mills Run is one of the millions of battlegrounds fighting to live.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! I'M NOT OKAY AND I'LL NEVER BE OKAY! THIS BOOK HAS LEFT ME EMOTIONALLY SCARRED!
This is my third Jacqueline Druga book and I am always left feeling completely heartbroken, but Fever took smashing my heart to pieces to a whole new level.
I absolutely love Jacqueline Druga's novels. I read Under the Gray Skies at the beginning of this year and fell in love with her writing style. I went on to read Contagion and again, loved it. I've been wanting to read more of her books and when my mom finished this one and told me I had to read it I picked it up right away and I wasn't disappointed.
Fever is told from the perspective of a woman named Clare. Her husband died a few years before the novel begins from cancer and now her and her three children are living with her father. They've done good, they all have a great relationships, she has friends and two jobs. Life isn't perfect, far from it, but Clare is happy living in her small town. But then she starts seeing reports about a virus outbreak and how it's not only killing the animals, but humans and it's fast. She can only hope it won't reach her small town, but when it does there isn't much she can do except wait for it to blow over.
The story flowed really well and I loved seeing the virus slowly breakout everywhere else, all the reports, before everyone decides to believe what is really going on and stay in their houses, but by that time it's too late. This virus works fast and is a lot like the Spanish Flu. I thought the author did an amazing job on constructing this virus, the way it was carried and spread, and how it acted. You can tell she did a ton of research and it really payed off. While I was reading this book it made me afraid to leave the house and for the time when I was reading it I almost forgot it was a book and that none of it was real. It was terrifying and realistic.
She also did an amazing job on the characters. I loved Clare so much . She was so flawed and scarred from her husband's death, but she still got through everyday and went to her job and spent time with her family and just tried to be happy. I loved the relationship she had with her family and the love she had for her children. I think that's what I've really enjoyed about Jacqueline's books is that she really makes it about family and how they really need to stick together during hard times and she did a wonderful job in this book. I really felt Clare's pain and love and heartbreak in every moment of this book and just how much she wanted to protect her family.
There were also other characters I just fell in love with and was heartbroken when I had to say goodbye. Clare's father was at the top of that list. He reminded me a lot of my granddad and how he's really helped us during hard times. Her father was logical and the voice of reason when things became hard and when Clare was feeling completely unreasonable. He helped her get through a lot and I just loved their relationship and how they helped each other.
It was also really cool to get to know Clare's children and I loved their characters a lot. Michael, her oldest was smart and helpful and seemed a lot older than he really was. Eli, her second child, kind of reminded me of my brother, goofy and a little bit head-strong, but still super sweet and always there for his mom and siblings. And then Ivy, her youngest. She was so sweet and it was really cute how much she loved her grandfather.
And then of course there were other characters I loved from the beginning and added so much to the story and even though they were secondary characters and they weren't telling the story it still felt like I really knew them because Clare did and I thought that was pretty cool. Sometimes I think when authors put their secondary characters in there they can seem pretty one dimensional, it wasn't this way with Fever and I was really pleased with this.
I could go on forever talking about this book and the author's writing style, but then this would be a reddiculously long review and no one would ever be able to get through it. So, I guess I'll just start wrapping things up.
I would rate this 15-16+. It is an adult novel, I do think younger people would enjoy, but there was some pretty upsetting things that happened and might really upset younger ones. There wasn't any violence, but this virus is brutal and causes a lot of suffering.
Animals are the main cause of the virus to spread and it's really sad what happens to them. At one point a dog gets shot because it's really sick and while we don't see it happen, they do here the gunshot. Animals dying and having to be given up to authorities is talked about quite a bit, especially at the beginning and it can be pretty upsetting to think about. I would even get teary at the thought of having to give up my animals and know they would probably be put down. It's realistic, but still sad to read about. There's also a scene where someone opens a door leading to stairs and a dog comes tumbling down and it dead by the time it hits the bottom.
There is a lot of death and it's talked about seeing bodies lying in the street or seeing people stumbling around deathly sick because they are trying to find help. Many character we get to know get sick and die and the deaths are quick, but they are heartbreaking. At one point a really young child gets sick and dies and it's the most heartbreaking, upsetting thing I've ever read. I don't think I've ever cried this hard for any book because it's such a realistic death and brings so much heartache. Just be prepared for a lot of tears.
There is no sex in this or even talk of sex. There is quite a bit of cussing though, especially the f word, but it calms down quite a bit towards the end.
As always, I hope you enjoyed this review and it was helpful. Thanks for reading.

I have read a lot of Druga's books, so I can be considered a long-term fan; but I am still so frustrated that it doesn't feel right to award 5 stars.
'Fever' is a great example of one I really enjoyed. I'm attracted to her books because I think she is a highly engaging story weaver. I love being immersed in a story. And Druga has so many books published that I respect her story ideas even more. However... I do wish she would engage a better editor. In this book, there are various sections that are littered with unnecessary errors that any decent proof-reader should pick up, and the effect is to throw the reader (me) straight out of the story and into a grumpy mess of "what happened there?".
Most of the time, I felt right there in the story, along with the characters, so being thrown out felt like I didn't matter; irrelevant and superfluous to the story telling process. [Please authors, get rid of the errors. Please?]
All that said, I'd still recommend this book to fans of dystopian fiction. There are not many characters, so it's easy to immerse into the scenarios and to envision the environments and experiences in the story. There are also some scenes that were surprisingly effective in an emotional sense, being those which I didn't see coming (such as dialogue in the scene with the Sergeant).
I will read more of Druga's work. It's not complex literature, but it's a style of story telling that appeals to me And I hope that next time I can give it 5 stars.

This book was really awful. The writing was not well developed and I am confused as to why the author started the narrative a week or so in the future and then backed it up and began moving in a linear fashion. She also made a half-hearted attempt to develop some characters, but they mostly felt one dimensional. My biggest issue with the book is that the main character was a study in contradictions. One minute, she is screaming to the world that people are going to die. The next, she is sending her kids to school and puzzled as to why nobody appears to be on the streets. I think the worst part was when she made a big deal out of not leaving her daughter's body behind but then was puzzled and judgemental when her friend decided to dig his own grave because, "what did he care happened to his body after he died?" I kept with the books because it gets a lot of 4 and 5 star reviews, but I am truly puzzled about who is leaving these reviews. Are they friends and family? Will not be reading any of her other books.

Amateurish writing style and uncompelling to the upmost. Not worth the time it takes to read.

I was a little surprised, but pleasantly so. This the story of a woman living with her family in a very small town, slightly isolated from the general wider population. She reads some articles on the Internet about a fever that is killing pets in Europe, and then people started dying. Believing that because Europe is so far away, plus the fact that her tiny community is more or less isolated from the hustle and bustle of the rest of the world, they have nothing to fear. She was wrong.
As things go from bad to worse, you can't help but feel for this woman, this small community, and the people in it. I thoroughly enjoyed the story and really liked the way it ended..........giving you hope for a better tomorrow no matter what.

Had to quit reading. Sorry, attention to detail matters.
Things like this: "John Ashton never waivers." He never waives, or he never wavers?
Or this headline: "Spain closes border in hopes to feign off Fever." Feign off? What can that mean? I'm hard pressed to come up with a word that fits. "Stave off," maybe? Would a newspaper headline writer make such a mistake?
And why are they getting their news from papers? I get it, spotty wifi at home, but- at work, too? You think you'd get that wifi fixed eventually. I don't know how her older kids are completing their assignments.
She also points out that Autumn doesn't start in Europe at the same time it does in the US. Say what, now? Europe is still in the Northern Hemisphere.
Then we have a virus being brought to America by boat after many weeks infecting people abroad. It's gotten from the UK to Cuba, then is brought to US shores by refugees in a BOAT.
It would have happened within a matter of days by plane. There was nothing stopping that from happening. There was no order not to fly from the UK. It would have been in the US in a matter of hours.
That's when I stopped reading.

I vacillated a bit on the rating. For the writing, it was really more of a 3-3.5 because there were a lot of sentence and grammar issues that a better editor might have fixed. However, I like this author a lot and she does such a great job in putting you completely in the life and mind of the character that I gave it a 4. Seems only fair since I enjoyed this book a lot. I also like that, in spite of all of the horror of the sickness, it ends with some hope.

This was a really great apocalyptic story! Starts off a little slow but soon up to a full speed, high tension adventure! I have always enjoyed this writers books & I do always recommend, anybody that loves this genre is in for a real treat reading this writers works!

There were so many grammatical errors and typos in the kindle version that it made reading this book difficult. The story was okay but not really worth the effort.
March 17, 2024
The synopsis of this book and its actual flow weren't quite the same as I initially got into it. I liked the idea of the book, but it felt a bit disjointed at times as I was reading. The author did a good job of instilling the feelings of worry and fear as the virus got closer, and yet no one was saying anything about it. It was a bit eerie that this was written pre-2020. There were some definite similarities to how that year played out.
There were some noticeable errors throughout the book. To be honest, they got a bit annoying as they became more numerous and obvious along the way. There were also some scenes that felt unaligned and hard to follow. The attitudes towards the virus seemed wishy-washy at times, and although that may have partially been for the story's sake, I couldn't tell if it was that bad or if they were really taking it that seriously. It just made me feel disconnected from the story.
When the virus finally did strike and with no regard for anyone, it had me hooked. There was so much pain and devastation, and the state of the world was also very concerning. I was so eager to see what the would do next and if the virus would eventually take one of them down for good.
I'm glad I stuck with this one. It was certainly a powerful read.

It sort of just ... ended
I had read The Last Woman before reading this prequel. I don't generally read book zeros but I read Fever because I enjoyed The Last Women books one and two. This book, however, confirmed why I don't read book zeros. It is not a bad book but I didn't enjoy it as much. Druga could really benefit from a decent editor, but that is not the reason I didn't like it.
Clare Ashton lives in a small town and hears from a friend in social media who lives in England that this H7N2 is a virus that crosses species from dogs and cats to people. The US keeps it keeping the truth quiet. She tries to tell the people in her town, but she is labeled either crazy or looking for attention ... until people start dying.
The story moves from one tragic event to another as Clare tries to protect her family. I guess I got lulled into the rinse and repeat nature of Clare's circumstances, that the book's ending just snuck up on me. Not a cliffhanger per se, but certainly anticlimatic. This book does not need to be read to appreciate the next two books, but it does fill you in on the events that lead up to book 1.

What if there was a virus that virtually no one could survive? This is a basic concept that a lot of post-apocalyptic novels use, but this one was stronger for me because it was told from a woman's point of view. Clare is a widowed mother of three children, and they are living with her father in tiny Mills Run, Ohio. Everything seems to be going well; news of a deadly flu virus overseas is distant and unrelated to their lives. Until it isn't. Clare is thrown into the devastation of such a virus. The story pulled me into the middle of it - how they handled it, what they had to do to survive, what happened when you can't even protect the people you love.
This book missed out on five stars because of the poor editing which has been mentioned in other interviews. ("feign" when they probably meant "fend"? "ala cart"? Really?) Initially I wasn't going to read this book because of the one-star reviews, but I decided to give it a chance, and I'm glad I did.

Imagine
Imagine if a terrible virus was spreading throughout the world. If infected, death comes quickly but painfully. Imagine if you live in a very small town with your parents and your children. Will the virus hit your family and friends? Will it hit you? The journey of one woman through this virus will keep you reading way past your bedtime. The author is one of my favorites because of the way she brings each character to life. Just a word of advice...keep a box of tissues by your side when reading this one.

Outstanding novel. Very realistic in that this sort of thing is possible. The book progressed at blinding speed and I couldn't stop reading! It's an incredibly tragic and sad story, truly heart-breaking, but Ms. Druga's writing approach made it beautiful as well. It was both soul-crushing and...not uplifting, but perhaps gracefully soul-soothing as well. Most authors don't capture the feeling of loss very well, Ms. Druga does an exceptional job of it.
Highly recommend, will read more from this author.

Ms Druga is always a good read
I have not found an author of dystopian novels that can bring to life the characters as this writer. They become living breathing folks that you can relate to and come to care about. And so it is with this story. I highly recommend this and all of her books.

Every mothers nightmare. How do you protect the ones you love when even the family pet can kill them?
I love this book, it is full of very real, heartbreaking emotion. It touches on some of my worst fears and the sense of desperation and unimaginable pain going through an extention level event would bring.
Think I have found a new favourite author.

I started reading this book thinking it was going to be just another end of civilization sorry. I was wrong. You really get to know these characters. There's no desperate archival of shooting, looting, or more of usual blood fest. It can even jerk a tear.
This is the second book I've read by this author. I think I'll look into more of her books.

okay i love you Jacqueline, so much but please stop taking my favourite character in EVERY BOOK😂😭😭
This book is definitely in my top three cries by this author, i was not emotionally ready to be hurt like this again. the way this woman writes about loss and grief will forever blow my mind, it's just so raw and real and heartbreaking i don't know how she does it.
another 5/5 always

Enjoyed immensely
This was such a refreshing post apoplectic book, on a small scale, a small town, and a snippet of a extremely personal view of a mother. I will look for more of this author's books.

A good story
This took me on a rollercoaster of a ride. Rumors, a cover-up and more. I enjoyed the whole story but my favorite part was the ending. A bit of hope to keep you going.

Very good story.
One if the many things that I like about this author is the way she writes & includes hope in her scenarios. This story is about a devastating disease & its consequences yet where there is life there is hope.

As usual Jacki delivers an engrossing tale. I sat down after work 4 and a half hours ago, and I've been through The Fever. I rode the highs and lows with Clare. I closed the book hopeful, just like the characters.

I caught the fever
I couldn’t stop reading. The possibility of this actually happening is so realistic that you can’t help planning how you could react, survive or save those you love. This was a very fast and easy read. Just be ready for lots of gut wrenching emotions!

Best book
I loved this book. Even though it was different from what I expected it completely sucked me in and made me cry. Very emotional and a new spin on end of the world books. I hope there will be a second part.

Absolute Awesome read.
Probably one of the hardest books I’ve read and also one of the best.
This is not you’re typical SHTF book, it’s a heart wrenching book and will bring you to tears.
Awesome job by the author and well written.
