Danger's Race

Holly Danger, Book 3

By: Amanda Carlson

Narrated by: Emma Wilder

Time is running out....

After defeating the uprising, and becoming infected with a dose of Plush, Holly is in a race to help a seeker before it's too late. Going South is the only option. But getting there is going to prove difficult, which is why Lockland has entrusted Daze with a secret weapon.

A pulse storm, overzealous militia, and uncooperative siblings are only a few of the obstacles standing in their way. Once they arrive on the coast, the prospect of finding the supplies they need dwindles. But what they uncover may be far richer. A way to move the remaining survivors forward.

But the people of the town don't see it that way. They want to protect what's theirs. With the militia closing in, they do the only thing they have left to do, fight.

Amazing yet again!

I absolutely love this book series! Catastrophe events have ruined the world but Holly and crew still hope and fight for the future of the human race. The narrorator does a fantastic job!

I received this audio book free for an honest review.

World building expanded

Carlson expanded the world building of this series by taking Holly, Daze and Case out of the city on the hunt for a cure for Plush. In doing so new characters where introduced and new evil baddies cropped up. The city is dangerous but outside is a deadly wasteland. I have really enjoyed this series and with this latest book Carlson has cemented Holly, Case and Daze as a ‘family’ unit. Added to this is an AI named Mazzy, which opened up the pre dystopian world to the reader.

Left at the Door Review by Liadan of Danger's Race

The third book in the Holly Danger series can only be described as fantastic. The world building and character building are superbly done, and Amanda's descriptions leave little to the imagination as to what is going on. Holly, Daze, and Case head south to where Case grew up to find out more about where Tandor came from. There is less action and more exploration of post-apocalyptic earth. Great book and can't wait to see what they find in book 4.

The story continues

I received this audiobook free for an honest review. I really liked books 1 and 2, and 3 wasn't too bad. I thought it drug on in a few places, but the overall was really enjoyable. It mostly kept my interest, however, I could put it down a couple of times. Maybe I was just impatient. I'm usually not a fan of dystopia, but I liked this book. Always a fan of a strong female with an equally strong male. No romance here, but I can see it possibly coming at some point. The narrator did great, but because of the genre, she has a very bland voice. She does a great job of separating each of the characters and capturing their personalities.

A real relay race for life

Carlson wastes no time in getting right into the action; book 3 picks up right where the last one left off. The group splits up in order to get what they need to create the cure for the nefarious drug known as Plush. One of the things I like about Carlson is that she doesn't waste 6 to 10 pages recapping events like most books and tv shows do. She lets the previous books take care of business on their own.

The world and cast of characters continues to grow, just as the danger continues to escalate. We see a lot of growth in the characters we've come to know and love. Daze continues to be a great character, and Daze begins to open up more and more, so we are getting to know everyone better. Carlson continues to improve her style a well. This is a fun fast paced slice of tasty action that makes James Bond look like a blind geriatric quadraplegic with Alzheimers disease.

Wilder, does that name fit these books or what, continues to make the danger seem real, and the action happen like ten tons of C-4 going off in a submarine. She is just amazing, and you can tell she really enjoys the Danger books.

This is a great series, once you start it you get hooked and want to keep going.
