Surviving Sundown
When the EMP strikes, survival is just the beginning...
An EMP has devastated the nation. Communications are down. Transport is a thing of the past. And in the first days of the collapse, society has slipped into a state of total chaos.

But when Mike learns of a military-run safe zone nearby, where society is already starting to rebuild from within, he is forced on a perilous journey across the country.
Do Mike and Holly have what it takes to battle the unpredictable elements and dangerous looters as the country continues to crumble?
In an EMP struck world, nothing is as it seems...

SURVIVING SUNDOWN #2
Father and daughter and the few remaining group members hear of a Safe Haven. Holly and Harriet are out setting snares when they are startled by military looking men carrying weapons and dressed all in black. Hiding behind a tree the girls hear of this place when the soldiers get very close to where the girls are hiding and start talking about this government help for people who make it there. Mike is the only one who is against going, but the small group quickly vote to try and get to the Safe Haven, and Mike reluctantly agrees. The next morning they set off on what should be a one day walk and the group making it to the government ran safe camp by nightfall. What happens isn't good. In seven days that have passed, people have gone berserk, riots and murdered people are laying around covered in filth and flies. Getting where they need to be is just as bad as Mike warned it'd be. But even Mike is surprised at the levels people have already sunk to. The group wants to continue, Mike wants to keep his daughter Holly safe, so he continues too.

Second book in the series and I had a hard time connecting with it. The characters are largely one-dimensional with Holly continuing to be foolish and rash. What happened to Harriet is never really explained. Alison, the police officer in the first book with some potential has faded here to just being an occasional sounding board for Mike. The ending which at first seemed pretty final for one character is suddenly more equivocal and frustrating.

Dear, oh, dear..
What an absolute load of drawn out ramblings! I'm shocked that Ryan Casey actually wrote this, and he's one of my currant favourites! I felt nothing for the characters but annoyance, and irritation, and at one point wanted them to get shot so the over sentimental claptrap would end! Most disappointing book ever. I will try and read bk 3, but if it's anything like this one, won't be bothering with the other 7!

Another great story
Yet again in was gripped by the storyline and the fast pace at which the story is told. I hope holly and Mike manage too get the group back together and Mike survives

Interesting
The storyline is very interesting since it takes place in Britain, a place where guns are not plentiful like the USA. As Mike and his daughter Holly along with a few friends travel towards a safe zone they heard rumor of, they become separated.

The entire book felt rushed. Not the effort I have come to expect from this author. Character were whiney and poorly fleshed. I did not enjoy this experience.

Couldn’t finish this book. Main character was shocked how fast things went bad after emp, but he killed 3 people in the first seven days ...

Good book
Read all of the books in order to really enjoy. Characters are realistic and get better and better. Storyline continues to grow and develop.
