Publisher's summary

Caleb Worthington always imagined himself playing college football and marrying a cheerleader, not working fields and isolating himself on his family’s ranch. But when society collapses, dreams do too.

So he clings to the only thing left. Family.

As the supply chain crumbles, people soon realize food doesn’t come from stores and those who live at the source have the advantage. Not everyone wants to work for that asset. Having faced marauders invading the Worthington farm once, Caleb is ready to defend his household and their property again.

Now a new threat looms.

A blackmailer has targeted Caleb, forcing him to make a choice—trust his loved ones with the terrible truth of why his former best friend is dead or risk losing everything to hide it.

But nothing stays buried forever.

The Death of Honor, book two of the Collapse Series, a post-apocalyptic, young adult novel. Explore this nail-biting cliff-hanger by Angela D. Shelton.

Loved it, great narration!!!

The narration was great. A very thought provoking storyline. The narrator enhanced the individual personalitys and morals of the individual characters .

Well written

This is the kind of story I love to read/listen to. I’ve heard all 3 in the series now and am
Looking forward to the prequel.

Best book so far on the series!

Great book! Performance is a 5 star! This book has everything that I wanted in it!

Post Apocalypse from Covid Like Virus

Parents- PG13- kept pretty clean but the story touches on drug and alcohol use and abuse but shows the destructive nature of them, and a suicide
Language- none
Violence- some violence around civilization collapse but nothing very descriptive
Sexual Content- PG13- mentioned but not described sex, stays clean

For those not wanting to relive Covid in any way you'll want to avoid this one, but if you're looking for a post apocalyptic read for your middle school aged kids and up than this series will fit the bill. This one is about a young man named Caleb dealing with dreams that were smashed by the variant and is adjusting to new life after the crumble of the society that he grew up in, He tried to bury past sins and keep them from his family and lives with the severe regret and nightmares.... until a blackmailer targets him and his family. There are great messages about living with choices and their consequences, importance of friends, family and God. There is a Christian element, that I love, because it's not done in a pushy or preachy way. I would definitely let my kids read it.

Narrator- does a great job with the voice differentiation, I preferred listening at 1.35x speed.

secrets, blackmail in post COVID world

Family of five has prepared for economic collapse of post COVID America. God fearing, they work to feed themselves and those around them. the oldest child, fated to be a football star but that dream now gone carries a horrible shameful secret.
that secret has been discovered and the conflict arises. betrayal, forgiveness and grace are part of story. enjoy!

forgiveness must first start in ourselves

I actually requested this audiobook, because i have read all the other books in the series (I was missing this one), even the prequel and i absolutely loved it, this author gives us very relatable and likable characters, each book is told through the eyes of a different character in the series, this one is told through the eyes of Caleb (Caleb is Jan’s brother, and we got to know her and her story in book 1) I actually did enjoy the story a lot, uhmm but more of than Death of honor I think it was a rebirth of honor, during most of the book, we know that Caleb did something really bad, and ends up doing some other bad things to cover this up... but we only learn what really happened almost in the end, true repentance only come if you truly confess and live with yourself with what you did, and that is a great step in growing up.

In the series this book was the first being told through the eyes of a male (and I really think the author nailed it), in all the other books the main character is female, Lizzie (prequel), Jan (book 1) and Olivia (book 3) these are young females, that have learned to live in this new world or lived through the end of old and that made their changes for this new world and even being similar they are different and all the books in the series have different moral themes and that is a big plus for me.

I Absolutely loved the person (Joe James) reading this audiobook, he gave a really casual feeling, he really brought Caleb to live and even did voices to bring to life all the other characters, I enjoyed this book very much.

Thank you StoryOrigin for the free AAC and this is my honest opinion.

Just keeps getting better

Book two, or the third if you count the prequel which is where I started. Definitely the best so far in this series. This one continues from book one but from the point of view of a different character. Not like some series that tells the same story but from a different perspective. Very well done. Excellent narration just adds to the story. Highly recommended. I received this free review audiobook and I am voluntarily leaving this unbiased review.

Great book - Excellent Narration

I loved the story line, but really loved the narration. I listen to a lot of audio books and do not think any other narrator would work. The accent he used for Emma was spot on. The level of emotion made the story come alive.
