Survive the Darkness #2
Escape the Darkness
Surviving the EMP was only the beginning…
On New Year’s Eve, a devastating EMP ripped across the nation, leaving society in ruin. There are no signs of hope. There are no signs of rescue. Only chaos.
Max and Aoife are living in the countryside, far away from society. Self-sustainability is the goal.
But supplies are already running low. And when Max falls desperately ill, it soon falls on Aoife to take a dangerous trip into town to get him the medical supplies he needs.
But when she gets there, Aoife soon realises that not everyone is so keen on giving up supplies all too easily…
Embroiled in a treacherous fight with a ruthless rival group, do Aoife and Max have what it takes to survive?
And just how far will they go to escape the clutches of darkness?

violence
The description of this book 2 is violence. To what end will people keep killing until they feel justice is served. How someone can dominate over people to justify their existence. When you lived on the wrong side of the law before THE END. Your moral and civil judgment will become a monster. A ending I didn't see coming as I raced to the end of book. Lots of violence and sanity vs insanity.

A Gripping What If Fiction
Think I enjoyed this even more than the first novel in the series. It’s a pleasant change to read post apocalyptic fiction which has a slow timescale ( don’t misinterpret that for pace of which it has plenty ) and takes its time to describe in detail each day as events unfold and the feelings of the characters involved. Looking forward to starting the third volume as soon as I’ve finished writing this.

Whew! Intensely great!
Like my review title says, intensely great! Thie second book in this series was filled with edge of your seat moments. I must say that the character development in this series is fantastic. I felt as if I was inside the storyline and feeling every moment. This one ended on a violent event and I am anxiously awaiting the next book.

Excellent story!
I thought I would start this book but just could not put the book down. I loved the characters, story and the emotions behind each of them. I loved hoe this author talked about near death experiences and post traumatic stress disorder. I thoroughly enjoyed the book. Look forward to the rest of the series. Take care.

Very good reading
Well after the first book I thought this might be a good series to read and I was right, I read this second book in one day, it was that good, great characters, interesting plot and lots of twists and turns. I highly recommend this book.

Fast paced
Fast paced roller coaster ride. The characters are interesting and you get the back story for each. What makes them tick and the reason they are like they are . Can they survive what happened next ?

Book Cover Incorrect
I don't understand why the covers of this series hasn't been corrected. They continuously refer to the Rottweiler when there's a German Shepherd on the cover. A lot easier to follow the story line from the first book.

Dark
Too dark a story line, repetitive wording in an effort to increase sensationalism, & leaves this reader with a sense of wonder at the emotional tug used to represent the current popular genre of today.mi

Awesome and realistically brutal
I loved everything about this book even though the hopelessness was strong; there was a a glimmer of strength against the futility which grew.

Chaos!
This glimpse of total anarchy is frightening in view of the racism exhibited in this time. It is definitely a time we all need to practice peace in the present climate!
