Extreme Apocalypse event!
This rollercoaster ride has more loops and turns than Atlanta's freeway system! I did not want to put it down for anything. I am deeply invested in the characters and I'm anxiously awaiting the next book in this series.

Things are getting worse. MELT is spreading and acting in strange ways. It's possible it's can even be passed on by humans like a disease. Then there's people problems:
Michael wants into the lab investigating MELT but no one trusts him.
A guy ends up in what is effectively a concentration camp where people dying from MELT are kept just to die while others, not dying, are just trying to survive.
Bill is still out of it but at least he's alive.
There's an ultra-rich guy with the mind and temper of a ten-year-old.
Overall, things are getting a whole lot worse.

This is a short book, as has been the others. There was a little less action and more re-grouping. I was glad to see some people with Y-chromosomes get some quality story time, like Jim and Michael. I am all for strong female characters, often rare in this genre, but the previous book had very little positive contribution by men. They were about as useful as the adults in South Park. I really like Jim, who is a very decent guy even in the apocalypse. I hope the erratic billionaire is gone for good as he was a bit much.

Melt another stranger twist
Book five was just as satisfying to read as the first four. The suspense never stops and you can not believe what is just around the corner. Keep in reading, we are not there yet. The end is coming at this point you can't stop, you have to finish this great series.

Jim is the man
You have done an excellent job of keeping the suspense moving. I really enjoyed the survivors that are still alive and trying to find a way to put an end to Melt. Can't wait for book 6 to get here.

Great
I did my review each book separately i thought I would do the complete series. Absolutely brilliant edge of seat stuff i do hope there is another one to finish the story off.

Wow. What a disappointing read in a series with a potentially great plot line. Women are meant to be caregivers, having blonde highlights means you’re a “cheap” woman, and so many references to women’s bodies. Also, dogs are so dumb they can’t read human emotions? I’ve had enough.

I hate cliffhangers! Now I have to break the (piggy) bank for the next installment.
I was under the impression that I’d paid for the entire series, but never mind. I’ll skip a few meals and buy the next one.

Lucky me! I got to read an advance version and it’s quite a ride!

Nice read
Picked up well from book 4. So e new characters introduced none of which I had any real feelings or connections with. Set up for book 6 was ok.

Different
A fun and different post apocalyptic story with characters that one cares about and a story line that is compelling.

The story line is moving very slow. It took me forever to get thru this book. I think I need a break before starting the next one .
