Resumen del Editor

From the best-selling author of the Graham's Resolution and Surrender the Sun series, A. R. Shaw brings you Dawn of Deception.

In a post-apocalyptic world, Sloane Delaney struggles to keep her daughters safe. With all her neighbors gone and her abusive second husband dead, Sloane and her daughters, Mae and Wren, maintain a dangerous charade to keep looters at bay from their neighborhood.

When young Nicole shows up on their doorstep, nearly dead from dehydration and starvation as a result of her father’s growing paranoia, she joins the determined group as they adjust to life without most of the luxuries they had previously taken for granted. Aided by a pack of abandoned dogs, the women are able to project an image of an occupied and active neighborhood until corrupt FEMA agents arrive on the scene, threatening their hard-won sense of security.

Fleeing their now-unsafe home, Sloane and her girls head for the woods and an abandoned old house Sloane is sure will be a safe haven for at least a few days. She doesn’t count on the handsome and helpful Dr. Kent having also taken refuge there.

With her girls’ lives on the line, can Sloane learn to trust again in this dangerous new world?

This series is as good as all of AR Shaw's Tales

I think this is the third series of Shaw's I have devoured. I have not yet been disappointed. This one is written as only she can, a TEOTWAWKI story from the perspective of a strong woman, with supporting roles from her girls. A great sub-genre in a very popular genre. SPOILER ALERT - I even enjoyed the surreal but believable haunting. Thanks for the great read!

this is a continuation of another storyline

couldn't find the first series it must reference to throughout the book so I was a little lost

Mother & Daughters fight to survive

Good story of a family trying to survive not 1, but 2 major disasters. With determination they attempt to conquer family dynamics, insane neighbors, evil militia and a world in scarcity. The ending sets up for another chapter with some hope for the future.

Deception directed imagination

To survive the next wave of threats, deception becomes paramount and can only be created by imaging what your neighborhood would look like if their world was not rocked by a distructive force. The author writes with descriptive style and well defined characters. I enjoyed the fact the story was created around a strong feminine character.

Good story

Narrative was very monotone. With a Post apocalyptic novel with women characters there should have been more contrast between the emotions. All in all I did enjoy the book and it’s premise, I will continue on to the next book in the series.

Really good!

Was really good! Excited to see were book 2 takes us with the addition of the newest character...

Wish It Had Been Longer

Always anticipate Shaw’s next release. That being said, I could’ve waited a bit longer for a longer story. The forward, kind of threw me, as it’s a summary of the story to come and not the circumstances that preclude the disaster. Anyway, I liked the book and look forward to Book 2.

Great story!

I really enjoyed listening to this story today. I’ve enjoyed reading the book, yet the emotional reading gave new life to the characters.

Unbound

Well...I have to say that this was a informative book on the what if scenarios that have been running through our minds since the covid 19 pandemic hit. I really really want to read this whole series! love that this has a survivor dog in it!

dystopian

Very good story of a mom Trying to care for her two daughters after apocalyptic events.. Having to teach them that you can't trust anybody anymore. It's hard to change their minds, now that you have to break in to your neighbors house and steal anything you can to survive.. Trying to get her oldest daughter (16) to understand that she may have to try to kill people, so that she will survive. Great narrator, also. A solid 4 stars! I received a free audio copy from the author, but this is a totally voluntary review.
