Tear Me Apart: The Forgotten Women Series Kindle Edition
This is exactly what happened when The Fall set in motion the mysterious deaths of women. Since then, wars have been waged and civilisation has completely broken down. Feral packs of young men called Raiders scour the land. Violence and disease is rife.
The only way to survive is by dabbling in the black markets – where the highest currency is an increasingly rare commodity: women and girls.
But what of the 1% of the women who are left? What does Φ mean? And who are the Sons of Gaia?
The Forgotten Women is a series of novellas exploring four young women's journeys through the brutal post-apocalyptic world of Tear Me Apart, which also includes a feature-length film, animated web comics and more.

- Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2016This collection of four dystopian novellas, all centred on the same cataclysmic annihilation of the female population by The Fall but written by different authors, is a stark and at times scary view of a society where the women who have survived are viewed simply as 'assets'. Each story looks at a different group of survivors in different locations but there are some common threads and characters which hold the novellas together.
I thought this was a very enjoyable read and although it is set in a dystopian future, there are uncomfortable parallels with the treatment of women in some parts of the world today. In fact, it's not so long ago that women had few rights in our own society. I particularly enjoyed Skyjack and Darklight but all four were well written and I think each could have been a stand alone novel. It would be nice to know what happens to all the characters in a way but I think that the loose ends really suit the plot lines, in an uncertain future you can't have nice neat endings.
Thank you to TBC and the authors for this arc in return for an honest review.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2016I haven't read anything like this kind of dystopian fantasy for a while. I have to say, I thoroughly enjoyed it. This series is made up of 4 short stories, with the common theme being the annihilation of women. The total amount of the female population remaining after The Fall, is reduced to 1%.
Each of the stories are told about different groups of survivors, in different places and each one has a different narrator.
You, as the reader, find yourself in a society that is extremely dark and scary. Where women are viewed as 'assets' and as a result, treated as such. With stories that are full of twists and turns. Who do you trust? Should you trust?
As I said before, a really enjoyable read.
I would also say that if you haven't read this genre before, this would, in my opinion, be an excellent series to start you off. 4 short stories, each could be read as a stand alone and the author has such an excellent writing style that you really do get the most from it.
Thank you TBConFB and the author herself for allowing me an ARC to read in exchange for an honest review.

Format Kindle Edition (edit)
Review This was a very interesting, thought provoking read. I'm not a fan of short stories generally, I prefer longer, more detailed novels. Be that as it may though, these were very well done. I liked that they were all completely different but ran on the same themes. Very well done!
- Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2016Thanks to TBC I had the privilege of reading Tear Me Apart, The Forgotten Women: a series of four short stories. I enjoyed all four of them and was left sad when each story ended. However, for me I don't like what I class as 'loose ends' or an 'incomplete picture' and I was left wanting to know more about 'the fall' and why it only affected women. Worth a read and I can only hope there are more short stories to come in this series.

5.0 out of 5 stars After the fall, womenkind will never be regarded in the same way again.
A great novella, in a world where women and girls are hunted and are deemed more valuable than any other commodity on the planet. Each story is it's own unending nightmare for the characters involved. An enjoyable read, very graphic in places and I have to say there is something in here for everyone! Cannibalism, murder, mysticism, survival of the fittest and most of all a glimmer of hope, hope for a future that I personally hope never arrives. I would dearly love to read a pre-fall along with a follow up to each of these stories.
Each character is written about in detail, showing the many traits of womankind, good and bad, and the heroic along with the sadistic side of the men who make the life for the women almost unbearable and suffocating in their quest to either plunder or save them from the evil world after the fall.
Very enjoyable and I highly recommend this novella.

4.0 out of 5 stars good dystopian stories
I remember being really excited about this book when it was announced. I have no idea what it’s taken me so long to read it. I really enjoyed this. The book contains five novellas that are loosely connected as they are set in the same dystopian world thought at different times where women are in short supply due to a mysterious plague. The novellas are all quite different some work better than others. Some chose obvious tropes such as women becomes commodities and are captured and sold into sexual slavery but others try to create something a little different. I enjoyed these overall. The best tales were The Djinn of the Eastlands, Darklight and The Sons of Gaia.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice hook and well developed.
These are four stories with different styles in a common arena. They handled the "what if?" well and didn't go for the obvious plots that could have arisen. There was a good hook in each one that kept me reading so beware if you choose it for your bedtime reading. You may end up short on sleep.
I would definitely recommend reading this collection.
