In Las Vegas, Nevada, Dylan, his family, and their loyal Australian Kelpie, Pepper, are like everyone else. They scrape for food and do whatever it takes, but at least they’re in one of the few remaining cities where they can keep the family together. It was hard, but everything changed the day Dylan’s daughter decided to leave. When Maci left with her boyfriend, Logan, she had no idea what they would discover in the rest of the country. It was worse than she imagined. Raiders, cannibals, and rogue factions roamed. It wasn’t long before she realized the real threat.

When the pandemic hit, nobody was expecting it to be as bad as it was. The economy barely survived the lockdowns, but it staggered along until civil unrest shattered people’s hope of better times to come. With it being an election year, more and more Americans were waking up to the idea that they truly were behind the curve. The hope was if they did not get sick, run out of money, or could avoid violent mobs, they would be fine.

ok
I really wanted to like the story, but was distracted by word choices and writing style. Seems petty, but it happened repeatedly. People don't 'divert' their eyes - it's 'avert'. Eyes were diverted a lot. 🙄 And I swear the mountainous countryside was described as 'verdure' at least 5 times. A lot of time wasted on things like describing getting a cup out of the dish drainer, going to the sink, turning on the faucet.... you get the idea. And then to persevere to the end, hoping it would get better, only for the book to be totally left on a cliffhanger...?! I will not be purchasing Book 2 to see what happens next.

Immediately Hooked
This is a good story you can get through in a few hours. I listen to this genre all the time and it still felt fresh and like something I had not heard before. The narrator was very good. It bounces between the two characters in a way that doesn't feel jolting. I would recommend this to anyone who likes this genre.

Thrilling and I want more!
This has a different take on a power grid going down. In here we meet Russell and Sarah who are on the brink of divorce. They are separated and in different places when the power goes down. It’s interesting to see who of the two are stronger and more competent in how they move forward. I was surprised more than once at the actions of these two.
This is a exciting story. Since it’s unfinished I assume there will be more adventures for these two. I did listen to this on audio. This is my first listen with this narrator. She did a good job.

Chapter 2
I was just starting chapter 2 when I knew that this was a book that needed to be returned. Too many publishing companies are churning out this genre with no regard to produce a quality product just the intent to possibly garner a few bucks. Just because a spellcheck was done does not imply that they author is knowledgeable about the topic.

Entertaining
I enjoyed this book, it was a great start to a promising series, with plenty of action and plot twists. The characters were interesting, and strong, Russell seems to be having a very bad day, until he meets Max and Cathy. I was disappointed the book ended on a cliff hanger, and I can't wait for book 2 to find out what happens next, I really liked the narrator Stacey Glemboski, she really helped bring the characters to life. I received this book in exchange for my honest review.

It’s so so
I’m sorry to write this I was looking forward to this book particularly as Stacey Glemboski was narrating but I could hear her rolling her eyes!
It’s slow and annoying to listen to a “really, that’s how you would do play this situation” sorry not for me will not be getting book two.
