After The End: Box Set Books 1-4: A Steamy Post-Apocalyptic Romance Series
The complete set of Jacqueline Hayley's acclaimed The After post-apocalyptic series, with four full-length standalone–but inter-connected–novels, plus a bonus prequel novella!
Get ready for the action of The Walking Dead, the friendship of Stand By Me, and the romance of Outlander.1. AFTER TODAY
❝︎Executed with all the action, angst, twists and turns of a post-apocalyptic prestige-TV drama.❞︎
After a deadly virus ravages Chicago and destroys Mackenzie Lyons’ carefully curated world, Mac escapes the devastation and horror to her childhood hometown with the help of her best-friend’s little brother, Jake. But the small-minded community of Sanford isn’t exactly welcoming, and the virus isn’t the only battle brewing.
But when Sanford’s misogynistic council torment the survivors with horrifying demands and a lawless motorcycle gang threatens their fragile sanctuary, somehow Jake and Mackenzie must form new alliances and face down dangerous enemies in a struggle far worse than the outbreak.
2. AFTER YESTERDAY
❝︎I just raced right along reading this and couldn’t put it down.❞︎
Surviving the virus was one thing, surviving humanity after is another.
Rachel Davenport has always liked things ordered and neat, so when the Sy-V virus decimated the world around her, she was left reeling. With winter closing in and danger everywhere she turns, the last thing she needs is the unexpected arrival of her former high school sweetheart—a man who left her without so much as a goodbye.
When James O’Connor crossed the country to declare his love for Rachel, he knew he’d have a fight on his hands. But the girl he left has become a woman he struggles to recognize. As the apocalypse forces him to balance his morality against Rachel’s determination, can he cross the chasm growing between them?
As humanity crumbles around them and survival becomes everything, James and Rachel must choose between what is smart, and what is right.
The stakes are higher than ever… can love survive a second chance?
3. AFTER TOMORROW
❝︎What a ride! I devoured this in one sitting.❞︎
Sandford’s party girl, Kat Tenor, isn’t about to let something like the apocalypse ruin her fun. The Sy-V virus may have decimated the world around her, but it hasn’t dimmed her charisma. If anything, she’s even more determined to see the best in a critical situation.
But when old secrets and new enemies challenge her at every turn and an impulsive act leads to devastating consequences, everything she’s fought to hold together begins to unravel.
Quinn Brent has admired Kat’s tenacity from afar for too long. He knows that beneath her bubbly, messy exterior lies someone who’s fiercely loyal and kind. So when the unthinkable happens, and Kat’s light dims too much for him to handle, Quinn has no choice but to step out of the shadows and take on a rescue mission of his own. To find the girl he loves and save her from herself.
4. AFTER THE END
❝︎Chloe and Ash's love story is the stuff of legend.❞︎
The future was not promised to them, not unless they fought for it.

Sweet Valley High just couldn’t compete after she got hooked on plucky heroines and dashing heroes.
She has a Bachelor Degree in Print Journalism but, having always been tempted to embellish the facts of a story, decided she was more suited to writing works of fiction.
She writes in between wrangling two daughters and her very own tall, handsome husband. *wink wink*

Unfortunately, I just couldn't get through this series. Not entirely. I think I made it through two and a half? But it just wasn't for me.
