great book

If you could sum up In the After in three words, what would they be?

awesome new series

What about Julia Whelan’s performance did you like?

i thought she did a good job. She put emotion into it, and thats has a lot to do with how much you are going to enjoy the book. I don't care how great a book is; if you have a bad narrater, you can't enjoy the book.

Hope author writes more as a continuation!!!

This story was FAN !!!!! It really kept my interest. Terrific characters. Couldn't wait to find out what happens next. the end left me wanting more...... I hope this story will continue with another book. So many possibilities. If so I will be the first in line.

Superb story telling

Where does In the After rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This is very high of my list of favorite audio books. The narrator does a great job of making each character an individual.The story in the case is fascinating - the author conveys the scene, the mood, the smell with great skill without being verbose. I didn't realize this story was classified as young adult and I don't know if I would characterize it as that. It's a story about a teenager, but it's a very grown up story with themes that aren't particularly youthful. I seek out apocalyptic stories and especially liked this one with a female lead. Amy is smart and likeable. Her closest comparison is probably Katness from the Hunger Games series. I found her to be much more real and likeable than Katness. You won't find Amy whining in a corner. I can't wait for the sequel to In the After - I can't believe I have a whole year of waiting for it!

What was one of the most memorable moments of In the After?

I don't want to give away any details of the plot, but I think any scene with Amber and what she reveals to us about herself, human nature and our favorite characters.

Have you listened to any of Julia Whelan’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I haven't, but I would seek her out again.

Good listen

A little hard to follow sometimes but ties it up at the end. I would reccomend.

Wow, Couldn't Stop listening

This was on my wishlist for a few months before I caved and bought it. I listened to it in less than 3 days - so well written & performed. The story kept me wanting more, and the main character was so relatable. Can't wait to listen to the next one!
