After an EMP has put an end to the world as they knew it, Megan is looking for a way to survive along her daughter Caitlin. Sadly Caitlin is terribly sick, and Megan just needs to find a safe place and medicines if she has any hope of helping her daughter.
This was an easy and relaxing listen. I especially enjoyed all the tips the Morris family had in store for after the apocalypse. I almost felt like stashing up and get ready just in case.
The main characters were well developed and it was easy to connect to them. The secondary characters though, were one dimensional and just there to complete the story and give some background.
Although I really enjoyed the story, I didn’t really buy the fact that Kyle went out of his way to check if he succeeded in killing Caitlin. She witnessed something he did, yes, but in an uncommunicated world, does it really matter what someone from the next town did? Someone who you will probably never see again? It just doesn’t seem plausible to me.
The romance in this book didn’t really bother me but it felt a bit rushed. Everything worked out very well very easily. A young woman arrives at a house and one of the men there immediately falls in love with her. Again, not very realistic, but okay.
I found strange that mother and daughter appear blond on the cover of the book, while both of them are described with black hair. This is not really a criticism towards the book per say, but details like this one make the difference between something just okay and something really good.
One of the reasons for which I really enjoyed the audiobook was Andrew Tell’s narration. He delivered a very clear and pleasant narration, with great characters’ interpretations and a decent voice range to be able to discern who was talking. It felt like watching a movie with different characters.
I received this audiobook as part of my participation in a blog tour with Audiobookworm Promotions. The tour is being sponsored by Grace Hamilton. The gifting of this audiobook did not affect my opinion of it.
