Hoping the 2nd one is better.

I really struggled through this book. Poor Word usage. Poor character development. Narrator was ok.

Slow and lacking

I understand this is the first book in the series however, it’s slow. The internal conflict of the characters is over emphasized in comparison to the action. I’m a native NM and live in ABQ so I thought it was cool to have an apocalyptic book based here. It was good but not what I was expecting after reading over 50 other books in this genre. I think A. Americans’ Going Home series, Franklin Hortons’ Locker Nine series, William Forstchens’ One second after series have set the bar high. I’m going to read book 2 hoping it gets better. And what’s with almost every author writing “clips” instead of “magazine” when discussing weapon reloads??? Come on man!

terrible

could not stand the narrator . turned it off after 5 minutes . wish I could get a refund

Horrible

Should be removed from Audible. Depressing. Author writes from a self defeated suicidal POV. BAD

Unrealistic characters

Definitely a struggle to finish. I only did so because I paid for it. By the end of the book I wished every one of the characters had died because any people as stupid as they were deserved not to make it.
Conversations and character rections were overdone and overdramatized.
