This story still bogs down with so much internal conversion each character has pretty much all of the time. We have added Old Alice and New Alice to the cloud conversation list. This also has the side story of the survivalist group that has built a complex that the government would struggle to have and yet it is all managed by one guy that kind of folds in the end. At least there is some progress in the battle with MELT, the actual threat. I was glad to see Barb surface again as she is now not the craziest character.

Outstanding
The series was amazing and nasty at the same time. It seems that book 9is over a year away. So be it. The twists and turns were outstanding.

Intense!
Hold, book 8, is dramatic and harrowing! I’ve been invested in the MC’s for quite a while but this episode kept me on the edge of my seat turning pages as quickly as I could read them. I highly recommend the entire series! Now, I’m off to get book 9, enjoy!

Excellent book in the series. Lots of things said and realized that needed to be said and heard. Great character growth.

What a cool series!
So good that I groan at the next that the next book won't be here until October! But so glad that this world continues. So masterfully written. You think you've seen the last of a character from 4 books ago, nope! The Characters are so vivid I feel like I know them. Total immersion in this series! One of those that you will stay up until 3 in the morning reading and be glad you did!

I thoroughly enjoyed reading Hold in the Melt series. It all started coming together and tying up loose ends. I had thought Fran was not as innocent and she didn’t disappoint but was surprised by her last encounter with Bill. Glad Barb made a reappearance (I love her character). It’s a little out there but not by much. Really good entertainment read.

Good
I have been reading this series from the beginning and enjoying it. But, I have say it is like being a mind reader inside a mental health hospital. Reading the thoughts of some really crazy people.
I am disappointed that the next book will be published almost a full year from now. I hope I will be able remember what happened in the previous ones.

The Relentless March Of Melt
This 8th episode of MELT continues to challenge the growing ensemble of characters. Not one to disappoint in the least. It seems like the challenges just keep piling one on top of the other. My only disappointment was learning that the next book in the series is not so out till October! Boohoo!

Fantastic
But they have to write faster! Most engaging and frightening series I have read. The Everlee family is astounding in their commitment to each other. Such a fascinating and frightening concept. Highly recommended.

Great continual story line
Book 8 did not disappoint me at all in fact I reread the last few chapters because I wanted to make sure I hadn't missed something and enjoyed how the writer summed it up for this part of Melt. Now waiting for book 9 to be completed.

Excellent story
I started the book and had a difficult time stopping to do housework! I am retired. It was always my goal to read books since I have time. Fun. Adventuresome. Great storyline. Looking forward to reading several more books from this author.

Melt book 8
This was my least favorite so far. Everybody was scattered out and thinking back. To many things happening at once. It just wasn't interesting to me

Getting tired?
Finished the book feeling that the story is getting a little tired. Not a surprise to say this is book 8. Not much legs left tbh.
