Poorly written
I thought I might like these based on reviews but spoilers aside it's too hectic, too fake, to erratic for even the most literate to remain engaged in.I found her homestead stories more engaging and enjoyable to read. Stick to what you obviously know about and leave the PA to an experienced author with talent

I like this author
I enjoy the women's story driving the narrative. Women remember and think multidimensional. Most are community common good thinkers, and act in Common Good ways.
It takes minimal time for the author to let you know what corrective actions occurs and their results.
This is a good read about good people managing their way through horribly corrupted times.

lots action
Book #2 of Nancy Broadley's post-apocalyptic Appalachian Trail, This is an non-stop, edge-of-your seat action. There is a lot of fighting and tense moments. There is a lot violent fighting, cussing. Reminds me of a K Reeves action movie.
Beth, Brian, Spike and Sarah are my favorite characters.

While book #1 was good this one (book #2) was better, I really enjoyed it.

The author has really dragged me in with wonderfully three-dimensional characters and a fast moving plot. Great job!

Gripping read
Realistic portrayal of what could happen and how. Read this very quickly and will look for the sequels as well as the first book.

Emotional rollercoaster
First of all this is a book where you want to yell, scream and knock some sense into some of the characters. I keep telling Maryann to toughen up. Quit being nice to people who want to kill and rape you....but she has not once listened to my words of wisdom.
Now THAT is what makes a book into a good, no EXCELLENT read. Reader participation. When a author creates strong emotions from the reader they are doing their job. It is the step where they are not only a writer but also a storyteller.
Definitely five stars.
Parts that drove me the craziest......
Some of the characters kept mentioning the prisoners from Bobby's gang were humans. I wanted to pop them in the head with my Kindle. Finally, a voice of reason:
"What a s*it show. Sick prisoners required extra guards, extra food and medicine, and extra hands to care for them. They were tying up resources that were sparse to begin with. They should ‘a just shot them all on the road and been done with it. " Another thing that made me angry. Yes, I got angry at characters in a book. Beth and others were taking care of their abusers who were addicts. Cleaning them. Feeding them. Thinking of giving them their meds for withdrawal. Why???

This new author is really coming into her own, in this 2nd book of her Apocalypse Trail series.
Well written, tight, and action packed, with only a very light touch of romance. Beth and Brian are made for each other, though they're having their own ups and downs in their new relationship.
Brian is FINALLY off to rescue Sarah. Darn you, N.A. Broadley, for keeping us in suspense from the cliff hanger in the 1st book.
Beth is still recuperating from the bullet she took in book 1, and the resulting surgery. She's a fighter, and a healer, so she"ll step up when she needs to.
Sarah is a woman after my own heart. Who needs to wait on a man to rescue her, huh? She might just do it herself!
Rescues, kidnapping, militia wars all over, traitors, gun fights, traps, and more are waiting for you in book 2. Oh! And a rooster named Peckerhead!
This one has another cliffhanger. I'm not a fan of those, BUT, if NB can get book 3 out quickly, I might forgive her, lol!

Entertaining Action Thriller 4.5🌟
I can only hope for more from this author. Rather than some kind of mutant or alien species, this series focuses on the monsters within our society. The writing is fluid and well paced. The characters are interesting and well developed. There is plenty of action supported with solid attention to details. I await the next installment.

Very real depiction of post apocalypse societal breakdown
The 2nd book of a very straight forward internal war between good and evil. Extremely difficult book to put down.
