It’s black as obsidian.It's shaped like an egg. it's the size of a bus.It’s also destroying the world.A cloud of spores creeps outward across the US, reducing even the strongest people to whimpering puddles of fear.
Within days, the country is decimated. Except for a few survivors, everyone is dead. The streets echo with silence, while the beaches fester with the bodies of those so desperate to escape that they tried to swim across the oceans.
The only ones left untouched are those whose demons live inside their own heads.
Deidre is one of those people.
With her supplies dwindling and no hope of rescue, a mysterious broadcast leaves Deidre with the most difficult decision of her whether to stay and await certain death, or to set out across the US in a desperate bid for survival.
There’s just one will it be the wilderness, or the other survivors, that get her first?
Welcome to the quiet apocalypse.

Only the broken can save the world.
In a world where so many stories involve super powered super human characters running around saving all the puny mortal it's refreshing to read a story where the "heroes" are people like you and me. People who despite their flaws and struggles find a way to survive until tomorrow.

Not only was this book Extremely well written but it captures what it is like to struggle with one's own mind. Loved it!

I've been craving some end of the world scenarios so I decided to bust out my kindle and see what I had stashed away on it and stumbled across Fear. I liked it alot, a little to mild for my taste but Mr.Edwards really set the tone of the world ended and everything went to shit really well. I was keeping up with it but it kinda went left on me. I'm still kinda unsure about the whole egg thing and I'm hoping for a better explanation in the rest of the series and I'll come back and change my review if it comes together . Fun little addicting read and I'm looking forward to the rest of the series

Loved it!
Dystopian genre is one with few female authors so I was happy to discover this little gem quite by accident. And the storyline! So different from what’s out there. And the ending to book 1 makes me super glad I am able to binge as many books as are out so far. Thank goodness for KU but soon as I can afford it I’m definitely buying these books for my collection.
Been on the fence? Give it a chance cos definitely worth it :)
Great writing
