Purge of Babylon #3
The Stones of Angkor
The war for survival continues.
The fight for Song Island is over. Despite suffering losses, Will and his group have claimed the island as their own and achieved the safe haven they’ve longed for since The Purge.
Months later, Will makes contact with another group of survivors, and travels to their base in hopes of striking an alliance and gathering much-needed medical supplies. Instead, he finds himself in the middle of another bloody battle.
With Will gone, Lara must take up a leadership position on the island, and is immediately confronted with a difficult choice. It’s a lot of pressure for a third-year medical student, especially when her decisions may cost lives.
Meanwhile, the ghouls have launched yet another startling new phase of their master plan, forcing Will to venture deep behind enemy lines to collect valuable intelligence. What he discovers will change everything.
Where The Purge begins, and the Gates hold, the Stones will crumble…

As great as the first two!!
Only one mistake Mr. Sisavath, I would have paid $10.00 to get this book!! Other than that this series is the best I have read in this genre. Maybe the best in all that I have read in any genre. Can't wait for book 4. Soon I hope.

This whole series is brilliant I haven't put my kindle down since I first bought the purge of Babylon. It's compelling storytelling.
My only issue with the book though is that the characters feel a little too similar. And because of that I can sometimes forget who's viewpoint I'm reading from. They all repeat similar phrases as well
Apart from that I can't wait for the next book in the series

I thought this was only going to be a trilogy and I was a bit disappointed when I started reading this and realized there was going to be at least one more book. Lost all disappointment once I started reading though. Absolutely loved this.

Omgoodness I binged the first 3 books in this series and I have grown so close to some of these characters. I'm scared to read on cause I don't want anything bad to happen to them! The sci fi dystopian is full of action, we'll developed characters.. edge of your seat scenarios.. Holy smoley . I need to get my hands on the next 6 books in the series... eeekkk!

I have enjoyed this series so far, but I think I need to take a break. It's the same thing over and over. Find new survivors, most of the new people die, ghouls attack, collaborators attack, people get shot up and somehow live to see another day. Gets depressing after awhile.

Love times 3
I loved this book, I did miss all the lovey dicey though. I was hoping and hoping with Nate and I promise if he dies and she ends up with Benny..... I don't even know.
I have to say Mr Sisavath I was a little disappointed that you made Lara so unconfident in herself. I would totally get her being unsure but this was beyond unsure. I get it too, I tend to rely on my husband more than I know I need to, but I also know being a military wife that I am a "kick some Ass now and take names later" kinda girl. So plz imagine what your wife would be like or maybe the wife of a Ranger would be like.
Is kind of ironic that between the old Kate and old Lara, Lara was definitely who he needed. Late was weak and whiney, now Kate is the string one and Lara is whiney.... But I still love her and Will and Carley and Danny and am praying for Gabey and Nate. Even tho if will do no good cause this book was written awhile ago....Great book and thanks for the free reads, I would have absolutely paid for them.

Book #3 builds upon the momentum of #2
The world began to fall in a single terrifyingly gruesome and blood-soaked night. Then, it continued to fall further and further each and every night. Until the world that is left is no longer a world that is recognised. Life then becomes a fight.... a fight to simply run and hide for one more day. Living day by day.
Song Island was supposed to be different. It was supposed to be the end to all the madness. Yet this new world has embraced madness. Once again, we find ourselves fearing the night,
over-looking shoulders, and remembering those the lost.
New alliances are forged, only to fall by the wayside.
It’s a somber reminder that the apocalypse doesn't just destroy cities—it destroys lives.

ADDICTIVE!!
Phenomenal series. Non-stop, edge of your seat action. Very interesting storylines with plenty of twists and turns. Of course there are your perennial favorite characters to cheer on, and then there are those you hope will meet their end in some grisly fashion.
The ever evolving ghouls keeps the story fresh and engaging.
But, again, the action. The unique action scenes leave nothing to be desired. They are absolutely intense. Love it!

Second Time Around
I’m glad I waited six years and hundreds of books later to reread this series because it’s all at once like reading for the first time and yet vaguely familiar. It’s like slipping into the arms of an old friend, familiar yet new! Still love them after all this time!

Good fast paced story
Looking forward to the next book. I'm pretty good and guessing where the story is going, but this one I don't find my self trying to guess. And that's a good thing.

THE STONES OF ANGKOR (THE PURGE 3)
Another great read in the Purge series! One thing I like is each book is a long read book. Each book is 2 to 3 times longer than other books. So that means there is more excitement and action! 💯

Outstanding and fun
If you enjoy books with a lot of action and great characters you should try this series. This book was awesome and a great read. Will and Danny are two of my favorite fictional characters and I can't wait to see what adventures await them in the next book.

I need to go to sleep but these books are keeping me up! All twists and turns just keep coming. It reminds me of RED and I love that tv series! What will Danny and Will be up to next?

New Strain
Every time you think you've heard it all about the apocalypse there comes a new twist On the story And I expect that when we find out How there started it will be an impressive twist.

I am loving this series, I’m a fan of this genre anyway and this is a bit different from the usual zombie apocalypse novels.
I find the characters relatable, love Danny,Will,Lara,Carly and Gaby and meeting the newbies along the way.

Volume 3 This one drug a little bit. Seems to me he started cussing more in this one. How he's going to drag it out into 9 books.

Good
So far, so good. Nothing more I can say to reach the annoying 20 words minimum. You liked the first two? You'll like this one.

Three books in.
Three books in, and I'm moving on to book four. Being military, I like the aspect of it in all that I read. It's a very good read. Thanks

This is hard. I really cant decide between 4* or 5*.
If you are reading this review , i take it you have read at least the first book, i will try to make it short without spoilers from the 2nd.
The third book continues on, with the story of Will and Danny surviving the apocalypse.
It continues from a little after the The gates of Byzantium left off. And here comes one of my first disappointments: The 2nd book set you expecting A LOT of action in the third book , and although there is action , it isnt what i was expecting.
My expectation was involving more of the blue - eyed ghouls , which this book didn't focus on.
What happens is that it shows more of the world of the collaborators, not from their point of view directly (talking) , but from another way , which still keep us in the story of Will and Danny.
And if you are wondering if there is going to be more character development , trust me , in this book some characters change (except for the two main, they are still the silent thinker and funny surfer)
Also i like how the author doesn't just pop something out of the dark. What i mean is she gives you hints, making you to expect something will happen but then it happens and has more impact than you initially thought.
She keeps the realism (except for the many redhaired and blonde people, man i never knew we redheads had such a big apocalyptic survival chances :D ), and doesn't put too much information on what happens during the normal peaceful days. She skillfully skips the periods of time that could bore the reader.
I may be biased but i liked the book, although my expectation from action since the start were not met , i think that the way the author continues to draw and picture the world is really interesting, and i am looking forward to reading The Walls of Lemuria .
