3in1 Off the Grid Collection

De: Alyssa Cole

Narrado por: Karen Chilton

“Cole’s Off the Grid series succeeds because it captures the unsettling details of its dystopian setting beautifully, but also because its main characters are so very human and relatable.” —RT Book Reviews

Radio Silence
No one expects the apocalypse.

Arden Highmore was living your average postgrad life in Rochester, New York, when someone flipped the “off” switch on the world. No cell phones, no power, no running water—and no one knows why. All she and her roommate, John, know for sure is that they have to get out, stat. His family’s cabin near the Canadian border seemed like the safest choice.

It turns out isolation doesn’t necessarily equal safety. When scavengers attack, it’s John’s ridiculously handsome brother, Gabriel, who comes to the rescue. Now it seems John, Gabriel, their kid sister, Maggie, and Arden are the only people left alive who aren’t bloodthirsty maniacs. No one knows when—or if—the lights will come back on and, in the midst of all that, Arden and Gabriel are finding that there’s a fine line indeed between love and hate. How long can they expect to last in this terrifying new world?

Signal Boost
When technology stopped working, the world as they knew it ended.

In a secluded cabin, John and his loved ones have survived. He should feel grateful. But his family is in his face 24/7, he has to watch his best friend, Arden, and brother, Gabriel, flaunt their love, and as a techie in a Luddite world he’s pretty much useless. The cabin is brimming with people, but he feels utterly alone.

Until he catches Mr. Tall, Blond and Gorgeous raiding their garden. Mykhail is an astrophysics student, he makes John’s gaydar ping like crazy and he thinks he knows what caused the devastation. He’s on a journey to his university to find answers, and John invites himself along. The closer they get to campus, the more Mykhail lets down his walls. But with answers come secrets both devastating and deadly.

Mixed Signals
Four years after the Flare, the world is finally starting to rebuild

For Maggie Seong, that means leaving the safety of her family’s cabin for college. She won’t be alone, though—hunky former military cadet Edwin Hernandez, family friend and self-appointed Protector of Maggie’s Virtue, will be there.

Things look pretty bleak romance-wise until Maggie discovers that Devon, the pre-Flare internet boyfriend she’d assumed was dead, is not only alive but on campus. Despite the passage of time, their bond is strong, and they quickly pick up where they left off. Even as Devon aims for a chance at love IRL—everything Maggie thought she’d wanted—Edwin’s desire to protect her makes her question her heart.

Maggie’s torn between the future she didn’t dare to hope for and the past she can’t let go of. And when a group of neo-Luddite terrorists threaten the campus, everyone’s loyalties will be tested. To ensure that the world doesn’t go back to the dark days following the Flare, Maggie might have to sacrifice it all.

One-click with confidence. This title is part of the Carina Press Romance Promise: all the romance you’re looking for with an HEA/HFN. It’s a promise.

It kills time, but average story.

1. Radio Silence
2. Signal Boost
3. Mixed Signals

While I like the first story, it seemed that barely anything happened in the story, maybe about 10 minutes at the beginning and at the end, but the rest was kinda ho-hum. Which is a little disappointing in a post-apocalyptic type of genre. I like the characters okay which is why I finished the first story. Not sure how bad I want to finish the next two books. Narrator was good, but it took a moment to get used to her.

Wild ride

This off the grid series is sooo good. Don’t judge a character before you know them. These character have many dimensions

Excellent stories

Great stories by an amazing author! The narrator was perfect for Radio Silence. Could have had a narrator that better matched the main characters in Signal Boost and Mixed Signals. Loved the plots and character development!!

great build up

I enjoyed the first two books. Great build-up excellent stories. The third book 😒. Maggie is an entitled brat and I just didn't feel her at all. they should call it wine and cheese brat Maggie, or how to be a selfish, entitled, self centered post apocalypse Brat. It is the worst book in the series. it was also a little hard listening to it. The narrator is very drying, boring, and monotone. I fell asleep several times.

Wonderful storyline

Realistic, romantic, suspenseful and overall wonderful story with a dreamy ending! I can’t wait to read more!
