When the environment is ravaged by rising sea levels and monstrous storms, America is divided and survival becomes more precious than love.

After a harrowing rescue and escape, Nada sets off to rescue Isaac from the prison where she was forced to abandon him. During this long journey, Nada's feelings for Daedric intensify... until they discover Isaac roaming the mountains north of the Salton Sea-and he's not alone. Isaac is accompanied by a mysterious and beautiful girl, a fellow prisoner who was also set free by the Guardians. Nada is conflicted about how she will fit into their tribe, and how she factors into Isaac's past. Meanwhile, Isaac must decide whether to ditch everyone for their own good or stay true to his promise to Nada to "never give up."

This is a post-apocalyptic love story of approximately 120 pages. This book contains violence and mild sexual content.


Praise for the No Shelter Trilogy:

"Great Great Great read. I finished all three books in a day. I highly recommend them." -- Ordinary Girlz Book Reviews (for No Shelter Trilogy)

"I'm having a really hard time coping with the end of this series!... This book defies the rules of good versus evil here, and I can't quite cope! Nor can I get it out of my mind. This, although it bugs me to no end, makes this an awesome read!" -- A Book Vacation Book Reviews (for Buried Alive #3)

"I finished this book about a month ago. I was afraid to review it while basking in its glow. I thought that some time apart would give me a more objective view. Maybe, seeing other books would break the grip these characters have on me. It didn't work." -- Charles Stone, reader (for Left Behind #2)

"If you have read book 1 & 2 please read 3. You have to finish the series and find out how things turn out! Wonderful and entertaining series. What else can you ask for in a series."-- Julie's Book Reviews (for Buried Alive #3)

4.0 out of 5 stars A Great Sequel July 29, 2012

By A Book Vacation

Format:Kindle Edition

In this second installment of the No Shelter trilogy, we follow Nada as she attempts to right a wrong and find Isaac in hopes of bringing him home safely. We learn a little bit more about Nada's personality as this novella unfolds, especially as the love triangle between her, Isaac, and Deadric begins to climax. I have to admit, I found myself miffed with Nada throughout much of this novella. I think that she made some terrible choices, and I wanted to reach through the pages and strangle her on many occasions, especially when it came to acting on her feelings. However, she lost her mother when she was about 15, and so she hasn't had the guidance she needs to understand what love versus lust is, and I think, had her mother survived, things would have panned out differently in this novella. And, that being said, reader beware, there are some situations within the novella that make me think this is more suited for 18+ readers, as some explicit scenes take place that I don't believe are suitable for teens and younger readers, so just keep that in mind as you read.

That aside, I was very interested in the love triangle, though I still dislike Isaac--there is something off about him, but I don't know what it is. I don't trust him, and while Nada seems to, she also doesn't seem to have a clue what she's doing. Daedric is a great guy, but I'm not 100% sure about him either... perhaps it's because Nada has only known him for a few months... I don't know, but we'll see what happens in the final installment, which I'm about to read!

Now, in terms of the story line of book two, I felt a little bit like it happened too fast for me to really connect with all the characters and situations. I'd love to slow it all down and learn even more about the perils of their travels and the characters' innermost feelings because I think it's a very good story. So much could have happened within the weeks that are glossed over while the characters travel about, and I'm dying to know all the details, but I also understand that too much detail can be boring as well. Thus, it's a hard line to tote when writing, and I think Welti did a good job sticking to the information readers needed, and not making the story so full of detail that it put the reader to sleep. This is definitely a fast-paced read, and if you like post apocalyptic stories, then this series is for you!

5.0 out of 5 stars Harsh winter weather and Burning desire make a great story with these two snow angels July 22, 2012

By C. Stone

Format:Paperback

The tormented soul mates with benefits, Isaac and Nada, take the next step in their relationship only to take two steps back because of jealous Mary, the cutter. Nada and her not-so merry clan of survivalist travel through the collapsed state of California searching for one of their own. They had to leave Isaac behind in the last episode, and now they have regrouped and face harsh travel conditions during their quest. Isaac appears out of nowhere and has some interesting cargo with him.
I finished this book about a month ago. I was afraid to review it while basking in its glow. I thought that some time apart would give me a more objective view. Maybe, seeing other books would break the grip these characters have on me. It didn't work. I still remember everything about this thriller turned romance novel. Okay, I'm nowhere near my late teens and early 20's that sums up all the characters in this book, but I still read it with guilty pleasure.
Soon I'll be immersed in the third book of the No Shelter Trilogy: Buried Alive. I'm sure it will not disappoint.

4.0 out of 5 stars just as good as the first December 12, 2012

By steelyshan

Format:Kindle Edition

Part 2 of a thrilling and frightening story about Nada trying to survive and keep her friends alive in a terrfiying landscape. It seems that Nada is constantly having to reevaluate her priorities and be on a alert to stay ahead of all the dangers that lurk around every corner, she never gets to let her guard down. Like the first book, the very essence of human nature and all its goodness and evil are the main focus, Although this was a quick read, it was thought-provoking and more than a bit disturbing. The scenarios are very realistic and I am going to go read book three right now!!
