I wanted to like it

I like the story concept but I found the characters annoying. Very annoying…whiny and unlikable. Also the author repeats a lot of information and used the word “indeed” so much I finally quit listening.

Really wanted to love this but ….

I found the women to be whiny, the teenagers, disrespectful, and the men weak. I guess I had the hardest time with Melanie and Mark ( husband/wife). Men are the leaders and protectors by nature. Mark definitely seemed like he was not the head of the family as he should have been. I just cannot get past that. I listened to the entire story and glad it ended fairly well.

Do not get me wrong, women are often great leaders and there are times that women need to be in a place of strong leadership, but when there is a husband or man in the relationship, he should be showing a little bit more protection role. In the story, Mark was made to appear very weak, and I didn’t like that. It really ruined it for me.

Back to the whining… Maybe it’s Stacy’s reading and performance, but the whining in these women’s voices just got to me. I doubt this would be a book I will listen to a second time.

Question, the title says EMP why did it not say CMP?

Human nature?

The lights go out and after two hours, ppl are literally butchering cops on the streets?

If human beings worked like that, we’d never have left the savannah.

Times of severe crisis usually bring out the best in us, not the worst. If we were as is described in this and way too many other books in this genre, we’d be extinct aeons ago.

I wanted to like this series, but I can’t get past the ”three meals to mayhem”-trope.

Indeed, I enjoyed EMP Disaster !

OK, even though the word "indeed " was way overused, I like the story. Kept me listening. Good ending.

Boring

Weak men and commando women. I usually love Grace Hamilton's books just not this one.

Crazy and Exciting

A brilliant EMP disaster. A family trying to survive after the EMP finds themselves pitted against a boss who is just slightly crazy. They find themselves holed up in the one place that can help them survive, but can they keep it? There is constant conflict, suspense and intense action that will keep you listening. A great story and highly recommend.

I received a free audiobook code in exchange for my honest review.

Good but not great

Questionable decisions and overindulgence in emotional analysis of the characters made it a little tedious at times and detracted from an otherwise good story.

The son

I liked the characters and the story. It was a little different so it kept me interested. I would definitely recommend this one.
