Not a great read.
Unfortunately the pacing in the first 3/4 of this story was terrible, it took nearly that long for the characters to even reach the small town. The characters had next to no personality and a lot of the descriptions were very repetitive and any time anyone laughed it was always described as a chuckle.
I didn’t think a post apocalyptic story could be boring but this one was. The scenes where the action should have happened were skipped over. The lead up to the scenes were there but then it was after the event. Show don’t tell, and the ending was just silly.

Circuit Break has an excellent story line. The downside? Waaaaaay too much repetition. I mean bad!! I got very frustrating a sentence at the beginning of a paragraph, then again later in the next paragraph. Then again on the next page only reworded. Then again in the next chapter…. You get the jest. I really like the story. But it could truly be half the length without all of the repetition. There were also a lot of grammatical errors.

Orphan leads others in survival
This story hits the ground running and only get better as more hell rains down on society. More than once you will be pumping your fist in the air as the characters take care of business in order to survive. Give this one a read. I don't think you will be disappointed.

What a story!!!!
I absolutely loved this book. It held my attention with every turn, clear to the end. I cannot wait to read more from Colton Lively.

What a nice book!!!
Loved the characters, they were down to earth and real. Lots of bloodshed, but mostly friendship and love.
