Days 109 to 116

Mass Extinction Event #8

by Amy Cross

The battle for Boston is over, but there are still dangers lurking in the city. And as Elizabeth and Thomas arrive, they discover that old enemies are waiting to strike back. Desperate to find her father, Elizabeth sets out to see if anyone knows whether he survived the battle. She soon learns, however, that the city's new rulers don't take kindly to people digging into the past. Before long, she's thrust into the middle of a deadly power struggle, and she's forced to take a role in a fight she doesn't even understand. Meanwhile, Thomas and Carter encounter a familiar face. The dead are still walking, and a cure for the sickness is about to fall into dangerous hands. But what is the mysterious Project Atherius, and why are powerful people willing to do whatever it takes to become part of the project's main plan? Days 109 to 116 is the eighth book in the Mass Extinction Event series. The book ends with a cliffhanger, and readers are advised to start with the first part of the series.

[Louie the Mustache Matos · Rating 4 out of 5]

Days 109 to 116 is Book #8 in the Mass Extinction Event series written by Amy Cross. To my mind, because book 8 is pretty deep into the series, this novel should not be read as a standalone novel. There is so much tied to the initial causal catastrophe that to begin the series in the middle would be a risk of losing the nuances that explain and amplify the tale. It would pretty much spoil some of your enjoyment, getting to know the characters over the course of time, watching story arcs develop, plots and subplots proceed to the fore or recede and diminish completely. Elizabeth and Thomas, who begin the series in two distinct places in the United States, now find themselves in Boston, deciding whether they should work together, trust each other and/or the supporting characters in their respective orbits. Each successive book has added to my overall enjoyment of the series. Other books have not been as strong as this one, but every one of these adds to the mosaic being constructed.

Decent read, spoilers at the end.

3stars as the plot is interesting. I really liked the toad guy. It is frustrating at times as poor choices are made by two main characters as if they do not learn on their mistakes. Some scenes seem theatrical. I don't really get why survivors are clinging to Boston when you can hide or seek shelter in any other city? All in all I am waiting for another book and I am happy to spend time hoping that toad is somehow still alive.

(Read the first book in the Mass Extinction series, 'Days 1 to 4'. Didn't enjoy, therefore will not be continuing with the series.)

Really...

I was loving the storyline, until the end. After all they had been through, you kill off Toad. Unbelievable! I was hoping for some kind of happiness for this sometimes silly girl Elizabeth. We don't know if her father is dead, but we know her mom and brother are. She lost Natalie. I mean come on. Couldn't she at the very least have someone to love in her life. I was on the edge the entire time they got on that train. Well now I have to wait for the next book to see where you are going to take this. Or does the final pages mean book 9 is going to be a prequel. Time will tell.

Another entertaining, if gruesome, installment of this series, which is filled with action.

It's fast-paced and has a great sense of place. It has heroes and villains and those in between. There are impossible things, but that is the nature of fiction - especially in a fantasyish setting.

I enjoyed it, however, I hope it's not too long before book nine.

Recommended series.

Another week down.

I though that Amy Cross covered this week pretty well what with all the running around our two hero’s did. I’d like to know about the visions though, and Elizabeth, if I’m not mistaken she lost her prosthetic foot, so is she running on a stump? Tough kid if so! And now Toad, oh say it isn’t so!!

[Jackie · Rating 5 out of 5]

This narrative is so compelling I can’t stop reading it! This chapter of the story was so sad at the end though when toad was lost. Hope there’s more because there are so many loose ends.
Is Elizabeth ‘s father still alive? Will Thomas find his sister or see Melissa and Katie again? Will Elizabeth find her father if he is still alive?
Can’t wait to read next instalment.

The....

...only downside to this book/series is the wait until the next book comes out, especially if you read as many books in between as I do. But, this series is still outstanding as it continues through the apocalypse. Can't wait until book 9 comes out!!!!!!

Good story

This is quite a story but something is bothering me.
Toad amputated Elizabeth’s foot just below the knee so I don’t see how she’s running around everywhere without the aid of a prosthetic or crutches.

[David Bird · Rating 5 out of 5]

Better and better

I can't praise the book enough, I am going through the pages like a hot knife through butter, I t is sad when a character you like goes, but the story gets more and more intriguing, I'm really enjoying these.

[Garry Marlton · Rating 4 out of 5]

Enjoyed and on to the next one

[Caroline Eschenbrenner · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great series so far, but really starting to NOT LIKE Elizabeth, due to her childish and stupid choices and never listening to those who are trying to help!

I cannot believe you killed off Toad! I just got the worst news of this series. I don’t even know if I wanna keep reading. After everything, you killed Toad. I’m holding a HEAVY grudge 😔

Reunited

Toad , Thomas and Elizabeth are all reunited as the various crazy leaders parry with their future plans for themselves and their chosen portions of humanity.
