I am enjoying this series.
This series was a breath of fresh air from Eric Vall. I really like everything about this series. I loved the main character, each girl (especially how the author wrote the harem in this book, It feels so organic and weirdly very realistic and is probably the best harem the author has written!) and all the side characters. It is an intense post apocalyptic world and it was very enjoyable to read. That was until Kimmie sort of became part of the harem. This seems to be a trend in almost all Eric Vall's book. There must be atleast one pregnant woman in the harem, well in this case a woman with a baby. In most cases, I like it when a girl gets pregnant in a series but in this case it feels weird.
First off before I say anything, I am not saying that I hate mothers with newborns, I just don't think it was a wise choice to add Kimmie to the group. Kimmie was introduce in book 7 but only really started to become notable in the last book. Since the last book, Tav has weirdly become infatuated with her. To me, this just came out of left field. At no point between book 8 and 12 did I think Tav was interested in Kimmie that way but suddenly he is lusting for her. Ok fine, but why add Kimmie to the harem, if a girl should be added to the harem I want that girl to part take in the same missions with Tav and his girls. For twelve books now, it has always been Tav and his girls doing shit but if we add a baby to the mix, at least for me it kinda ruins my enjoyment because every free minute they get, instead of cute flirty banter we will get "Oh I wonder how the baby this and that is?". For me, that really isn't as enjoyable as the flirty banter.
Secondly, the fact that you added a girl with a baby to the harem before we get to know her past raises alot of red flags. Why would she be interested in joining a poly relationship especially because as it seems now, she was only with her baby daddy before? Is she fine with raising her baby with this sort of relationship going on? What past experiences did she face before getting into this relationship? How does this not only affect her but her baby as well? Maybe it's me and I am overthinking the situation, but it kinda creeps me out that a woman with a baby, who father hasn't even been dead for a year now (probably) is so willing to jump into this harem. And the dynamics of the well established harem is being brought down because the book just focuses on nothing moments with Kimmie and the four girls are more or less in the background especially Paige.
As stated earlier, I thought how the author handled the harem in this series is way better than any other that he has done. He stuck with a set amount of girls and focused on building each girls relationship with Tav as well as building upon the relationships the girls have with one another up. It was very enjoyable to see how each girl came to love each other and their personalities play so well off one another, so when introducing a new girl to this harem, it needs to be handled with care. We need to see how Kimmie interacts one on one with each of the girls, if her personality can play off all the girls and how she handles herself during tough times. As it stands right now, she has only went on one mission where all she did was set up a relay system and possibly gain the respect of Anna. I need more than that for me to like her character. Plus with the whole baby thing, I find it just adds way more complications than is necessary and kinda changes the mood of the harem from flirty and cute to a more serious tone.
(It is not that I hate baby talk and all, but I am just at an age where I have no interest in babies. To me, adding babies to a story needs to feel organic and well placed rather that just haphazardly thrown in there. Babies complicates lives and with how every book is shaping up to be, the last thing Tav needs right now is to be a father [step-father].)
Besides my weird hiccups with Kimmie, I think this book was alright. It is definitely a less intense book than the others but still somewhat enjoyable to read.

Another fun story with lots of excitement & a wedding.
Excessive heat and no rain is the first worry because the rivers are drying up and can't water the crops on the farm. Then there is the threat of a giant forest fire and how to protect both their home and farm, but also the fort. Then there is a sudden wedding planed for the living couple and lastly the surprise at the end... Oh sh*t...
This was still as fun to read as the last 12 books and I can't wait for more.

Absolutely fantastic!
It's rare to find a survival series that can keep me preoccupied, being more of a techie myself. But I find each installment in this series to be engaging, intriguing and don't want to put the books down.
13 was a nice break from hillbillies, cannibals and end of the world drug dealers, having Tab and the group deal with a natural disaster without modern amenities due to the EMP.
But it was fun seeing the community work together, and the ending event was spectacular along with the revelation of the next story arc!

Excellent Series
What an excellent series that continues to go strong. Great cast and realistic situations, it can't all be crazed drugggies and psychotic warlords, wildfires are a true danger so It was good to see a new challenge for the group. The adult action was excellent as always.

Never disappoints.
All you do is sit and wait for the next round of adrenaline..but my question is why don't they avail themselves of heavy equipment and military hardware and mofe of bigger vehicles can't see how they avoid the Koreans but can't wait to see how they deal. Again, need tanks and missiles

Can't get enough
Love this series can't get enough of it. Great book with some nice character development with just enough survival elements to keep me interested. Nice heartwarming way to end the last arc and as usual a maddening cliffhanger to start off the next leg of the journey. Waiting g for the next book in the edge of my seat and with bated breath.

Yet another goody
I liked this instalment of the series. The suspense was done well and payed off. The wedding was a lovely touch. Tara is quickly becoming one of my favourite characters of books I’ve read recently, and I hope we see more of her sexuality since she definitely pings as Bi to me, especially with Kimmy.
Can’t wait to read 14

Problems just beginning
This is easily one of my favorite post apocalyptic stories ever! The writing is truly top notch, the characters are incredible and loveable, and the new United States we are presented is fascinating!

Excellent
Maybe one of the better books in the series up to date, and after all the rush and humdrum of the previous one I honestly enjoyed the pace of this one a lot more. And the ending promised an exciting next book!

Good story
Still a good series, good characters and some funny moments. I do think too much time is spent describing what the girls are wearing everyday, some parts feel like your reading a Barbie dress up catalog. Good series though

Not everything can be fought with a gun
I like where these books are going. The MC may be a bit hard to believe but its doable. And the situations that come up could happen.
