Rate this book
Mayhem is about to boil over.

After the most recent attack on their remote compound in Central Vermont, Abram and Nick find themselves safe, for now. But when a new group rises up to take advantage of the turmoil caused by the massive solar flare, Abram and his fledgling community will have to become more proactive if they want to survive.

A final threat that will spell their demise.

A member of this new group has intimate details of the compound and is ready to strike at a moment’s notice. But his leader’s plans are far sweeping and risk putting the entire region into the hands of a madman.

A time for leadership and strength.

With this new threat on the horizon, Abram, Nick, and their allies must act now to have any chance at long-term survival. Will they persevere through their most difficult test and find peace in their community? Or will they perish under the iron fist of Vermont’s new strongman, and suffer a fate even worse than death?

Instant Mayhem is book three in the EMP Crisis Series, a post-apocalyptic survival thriller series about regular people struggling to survive after a solar EMP.

For fans of books by Kyla Stone, Jack Hunt, Ryan Westfield, Harley Tate, T.L. Payne, and other authors of EMP Prepper Fiction series.

I was invested into the story but its not that great. There are so many times I reading this and doing the "eye roll". It was available on Kindle Unlimited. If I had to pay for the series I would Have NOT done so.

I had liked the first two books a lot and am not sure how this fell off my radar, but am glad I picked it up to finish what has been a good series. This has a lot of vivid fighting, but you definitely have good guys for whom to cheer. I've been to the lovely state of Vermont a few times and don't remember any of the people that used what I would consider a southern dialect of speech. It is also a good reminder that people can be easily influenced by nefarious types when they are scared and hungry. Overall this was a good series and it ends well.

The first half of this book was similar to the previous two and was enjoyable however towards the end there were too many moving parts and characters in complex relationships and it became harder to follow. Still enjoyable but I wish some more time had been taken leaving up to the action and chronicling the interactions between characters.

Books 1 & 2 were full of action and suspense, this one was more of just a big long book of fighting and killing. It was disappointing compared to the others but had to read it to find out how it ended. I would read more from these authors though!
