Publisher's summary

Cars won’t start, and the phones aren’t working. Outside, a winter storm is raging.

Deep into the coldest, Midwest winter on record, an electromagnetic pulse has taken out the nation’s power grid, plunging St. Louis into frigid darkness.

Can ordinary people survive the apocalypse? Pre-med student Raine Caldwell is about to find out.

The government isn’t coming to rescue her. If Raine and her group are going to make it, they must save themselves.

When things go from bad to worse, they must act quickly to seek refuge from the cold and violent city. The group is tested far beyond anything they could imagine, as they begin to settle in, and survive life without modern conveniences.

After finding themselves in a community terrorized by ruthless and dangerous people, Raine and the others in her group must pull together to find justice, when one of their own is taken.

Can they pull the community together, or will it be torn further apart?

realistic

I enjoyed this series. I see the negative comments about "idiots" in an apocalypse. well, hate to break it to you but this his how 99% of people will most likely react. many won't be prepared, have former training skills or know much about survival. not everyone is an ex veteran with a bunker and a farm filled with food. many will die within the first few weeks, sadly. take this series as a warning and prepare, learn a new skill because you never know when SHTF..

Rain is very whiny

It’s an ok story, TL Payne has written much better books. Seems to be very disorganized.

Great read

I really enjoyed this series, it had the twist and a new spin on this genre.

Very entertaining

I really enjoyed this series, the action kept you on the edge of the our seat. My heart hurt when some Characters didn’t make it. I would definitely recommend this series to a friend.

Amazing story and all around great story

this is a audio book i would recommend anyone who likes these types i thoroughly enjoyed it and there war a happy ending

Very slow

I slept off and on and never seemed to miss anything. If you want PG, mostly G, rated storytelling, this is for you. If you want fast paced intricate plot, this is not for you. Lead female character was dumb and dumber. Other characters stayed fairly true to their casting. Author should have made JJ the lead female and left Rain out of story.

Excellent

This was such a great book with a great story line. It kept me engaged the entire story. The narrator was very good.

Very well written/read

Enjoyable for the most part. At times the books can be a bit stale but overall they’re a good read/listen.

Totally enjoyed

This was a good story. I would defy recommend. The narrator did a great job.

Awesome book (if you skip all chapters with rain in it)

The story is good except for the overwhelming amount of indecision and stupid decisions that sane individuals wouldn’t make. Some will say newb mistakes, but after finishing book 4 and rain spouting endless advice on survival that she learned and doing zero of it (things like look around before running in and continually having a gun placed to your head because you didn’t look left and right), I have to say that you should just fast forward through her chapters and just listen to justice portion. Makes for a short series but at least you’ll not be screaming at fake characters. I read many post apocalyptic novels and they all learn by book 2. This isn’t the case for this series. Stupid persists.
