Wow! What these characters go through in the short time period this series covers is pretty crazy. They just can’t catch a break. I loved these flawed characters. I loved that nick was a prepper who wasn’t fully prepared. I think their actions were often what anyone would do to stay together as a group and stay alive. There were a few things that seemed a bit like they were being stupid but we can all be stupid at times every single day.
When the 3 show up and only take one set of keys I thought they were the dumbest kids ever.
Narration was excellent.
I was voluntarily provided this review copy at no charge by the author, publisher and or narrator.

Fast paced
Nick leads his community to apparent safety as repeated traumas interfere. They develop a small community that faces near constant traumas with nearly no opportunity to develop sustainable living. A couple times the author switches characters mid chapter-very confusing, but overall writes a clear, fast-paced apocalyptic narrative. The constant hardships were too much for my taste but others will love the edge-of-your-seat pacing. In the third book, these apparently intelligent characters made repeatedly stupid mistakes which enabled more trauma. I found this irritating, making me lose respect for the characters.

Great read!
I'm a huge fan of zombie fiction but its nice to see a virus that can end the world without turning the dead into ravenous killers LOL. Dave Bowman still manages to create a world that is even scarier than Dawn of the Dead.

Pretty Darn Good.
As far as post apocalypse books go, this series is a winner! From start to finish the characters and the terrain they travelled was very realistic. The help the (good) guys gave each other is the way I think we all would like to have things go at the end.

Good series
Good characterization. Good plot. That says it all when you hate to leave the characters behind at the end of a series. Well written.
