Three Cheers
The first book in this series, 75 Miles, wasn’t a fluke - the second one is great, too. This writing team delivers! I love this family, their neighbors, and their friends. Can’t wait for number three.

This is a sequel to the 75 miles book. We had to revisit the explanation about the EMP quite a bit, though I suppose in a real scenario, someone like Ben would encounter a lot of folks with no idea what was really going on. It did bog the story down a bit. A lot of the story is fairly standard with people needing to get home, druggies and gangsters causing mayhem, etc. I liked Ben for the most part and the fact that he and his coworkers banded together to help each other get home. His willingness to take on a sweet, mentally-challenged man was commendable too. I was very surprised that Audra was willing to leave her 12-year-old daughter home alone all night, while she tried to see if she could find the 16-year-old daughter who was away from home. Wow. There were times that it seemed like things were building to have something happen, but then nothing did. There was also the frequent comments at the end of chapters and sections that foretold what was going to happen or what to expect; takes the fun out of it. Just like 75 Miles, this book had a need to slag Bernie Sanders in a way that was not really part of the story...just a need to snark I guess. Ben also had a tirade about the country going downhill, presumably the fault of liberals. The end of the book, is Sam retelling all of her story that we read in the first book. I do actually remember things from book to book, so that was tedious.

Book two was just as good as book one!!! If you like books that keep you on your toes and on edge the whole time then these books are a definite 👍 👌 💯 I didn't make it through the second one as fast as I had the first but, I struggled to put this one down just as much if not more than the first one.

Nice Read
This was a great read with average people trying to survive. I enjoyed the fact that it didn’t have a person from the special forces or millionaires that had the money to have all kinds of weapons and supplies.
It is a lot like my first book I just published, “I Just Want to Get Home” by Wes Pruitt

Another great read
This is what you get when smart writers get together. A great read with plenty of excitement, interesting characters and full of useful information for when the SHTF. Already looking forward to the next book...no pressure 😉

Good story
This book can be read as a stand alone but it's actually better if you read 75 miles first. After reading the first book I mentioned in my review that it would be great to have a sequel. Worth the wait.

Enjoyable read
The books 75 and 100 miles were very entertaining. You really get into the characters and almost feel with them. Never thought I would enjoy reading about a 16 yr. Old girl getting home. I hope there are more follow up b

Excellent
The author has created an excellent parallel story to her first on 75 miles. This time following events from the perspective of Sam's parents and family. Well worth your time to read.

100 miles. review
I read 75 Miles and 100 Miles. Thoroughly enjoyed both books. Characters in both books were believable and likable. Story line kept me intrigued and I had a hard time putting these books down. Not too grim. Not too much violent detail.

100 Miles
Good reading but not long enough. Well written. Scary to think things like this could happen. The way the world is now, who knows.

predictable
Pretty much the same story as 75 miles. Language unnecessary but overall a good story about a possible future for us

Great adventure.
This second book was just as gripping as the first instalment.
A journey home, battling against the odds as society falls apart.
Thoroughly enjoyable.

Loved this one!!!
Really enjoyed finding out the flip side of Sam's story, learning what her mom and dad were going through.
Cowboy was a wonderful surprise and a great addition.
