Stranded - a review by Rosemary Kenny.
Continuing the life-or-death struggle against the odds are Stacey Upton and Mike Kraus' intrepid, vibrantly-
written MCs..scientists Iona Clement, her brother Garrett, (part of the team who created a deadly mutant bacteria) and his faithful dog, Indy, Fiona Shaw who was mentored by Iona, plus Garrett's loyal wife Tessa and daughter, Hannah...

The Threads Are All Converging
Stranded, The Silent Tide book 5, has Tesss and Hannah, Garrett and Indy, Iona and everyone else separately converging on the Colorado high country as the family struggles to reunite. That leaves Belter, Lily and a couple of others as wild cards, and Jamison's group. Everyone is in place for an explosive climax to the series. Its hard to believe, but this series gets better with each installment, leaving me exceedingly eager for the finale! Overall, 5/5 stars! Highly recommended for fans of apocalyptic survival thrillers, sci-fi and disaster thrillers!

I hate it when I hit a cliffhanger!
On to the next book. Just hoping it’s been published by now. It’s my luck to read a book only to have to wait long e over to have to reread it to get back to the point where I can catch my bearings. I usually have a few series going and get things mixed up. 🤣

Stranded was another thrilling and exciting story in The Silent Tide series. Plenty happening to keep you riveted in every chapter, fast paced right to the end, leaving you longing for the last book. Great story.

Another really good part to this exciting & some what terrifying end of the world series. I do like the tension & pace as well as the dual character storylines, great idea, well done, I'm looking forward to the next part!

Oh My Goodness!
The author really put her characters in a bind. This is truly the ugly out of the good, and the bad. I couldn't stop reading. I really needed the bad guys out and the good winning.

A daring escape with lots of danger involved makes this another amazing adventure. Will they get to safety and warn others. Hannah and the rest try their best to help others escape. Binge worthy story as always.

Thank you for the story recap and this continues a very good series. This is fast-paced with some very tense and heart-breaking moments. There were very minor editing errors (like misspelling Bridger and Briger); nothing distracting. It also ends on quite a cliffhanger.

Each book is increasingly suspenseful.
Coming up is the last book in this series and I don’t want them to end. Survival becomes increasingly more difficult as the virus becomes harder to control with salt. Also it is more deadly in the human body. Can’t wait to read book six.
