Let me set the scene….i was approved for this book, and started reading it the same night we were able to see the aurora borealis in Ohio. I will leave you with that.
Loved it…read it in one sitting. Anxiety ridden through the whole thing, feeling like I was there. What would I do in this circumstance? Would I fight or give up? I still don’t know.
Something has turned people into raging murderers…and it is an Us against them type of circumstance. Can Jack save his family? Is there even a point in trying?

My first time reading this author, and on the edge of my comfort zone genre wise, I was excited to read it.

An apocalyptic thriller, a family on the run for their lives as America descends into violent anarchy, think Cormac McCarthy’s The Road but with much more pace, action and guns.

The style is straightforward, no nonsense, fast and full of threat. I loved the focus on one family’s fight for survival instead of an over explained, philosophical wider world view. It’s gripping, gory in places and there are plenty of shocks.

Highly recommended.

One day you wake up and the world has changed. Jack hears his name on the radio and knows that he is next on the list they will be coming to his house next to kill him. He quickly loads and a car with his wife and two kids and makes a run for it.

The power goes out and convoys start coming through destroying towns and killing everyone brutally.It is very creepy as you read all the hardships the family goes through and how hard they fight to stay alive.

This was a fast, hang on to the edge of your seat thriller as you don't know who you can trust.

Loved Dark Matter so I was excited to read this and it didn’t disappoint! Definitely recommend this suspenseful, fast-paced thriller ! Definitely a wild ride!!
