how a found family survive together one EMP

Revisado: 12-27-24 El oyente recibió este título gratis

I must first start by saying that this was actually my favourite story of this author so far, while I wished we had more from the point of view of the teenagers, it was a good story, I did enjoy more the first 3 books, then when the story went for Deb group and finally came together with molly and the teens, I kind of see before hand where the story was going on, and to be perfectly clear I didn’t like that part of the story, while I may be a little hypocritical saying that because I did like the tv show Mom that was quite similar… and I was hopping for a different kind of ending with different people dying (yes people, grab your box of tissues, the last book is full of good people dying, but if you want to know, get a copy and listen or read for yourself).

I really enjoyed the reading by Andrew Tell, and I must tell you, if we had also a female reading the point of view of women this would be the absolutely perfect audiobook, but I did still enjoyed Andrew job here, and will recommend this audiobook. Its almost 50 hours but well worth, and I am thankful for having the pleasure of listening to this audiobook before the end of the year.

All sides have a story...

Revisado: 08-23-24 El oyente recibió este título gratis

after reading the thin blue line and the fatherhood mandate, I can definitely say, this one was my favourite, I had on my mind that Rylee was only a spoiled young woman, but I got to know her so much more in here, and it made sense the things she didn’t say to Sam and even the ones that Sam didn’t tell Rylee.

I got to listen to the audiobook, while the reading of Elena Moore was not bad, she failed in immersing me in the story the same way Tyler Boruff did, because she wasn't able to do everyone voices, but maybe that's my fault, I have been spoiled in the audiobooks that I listen.

This was a harsh story to read, but I enjoyed it a lot, and I really recommend this audiobook for everyone who likes gendered dystopias, or even reality based dystopias.

what if responsibility was equal for all

Revisado: 08-17-24 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Ok I did enjoy so much more this book than what I did thin blue line, and I passed quite some emotions with Sam, at first he was at best a jerk, but he did grow very much during the book and I did enjoy to see him mature up, and became a real father. I got to listen to the audiobook, and I must say that Tyler Boruff, did a great job, he transmitted quite well the feelings that Sam was going through, and by the end I liked him quite more than when I began the book.

The story of this book is quite frightening but at the same time if people had the same results to worry about, they would be so much more careful with results of casual sex…

I did enjoy this book and I really recommend this audiobook and series to everyone that likes dystopian settings, gendered dystopian stories, but in this case I think it was more in the equality setting than one getting upper hand.

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

A Dive into Hell

Revisado: 07-18-24 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Honestly the first 3 books were my favourites, and then we went in a spiral that even the main characters didn’t seem like they were the same, Corbin went from someone that could read people to be someone overly manipulated, over thinking he didn’t belong, but lets just say, he came back to his senses, and even in the last book I like him… too bad that I cant say the same about Owen, but that is for me to know and for you to find out… the 4th book was when all changed, Jodie, forgot that she doesn’t live in the old world any more, trusts in who she shouldn’t, even when in her mind she is feeling that she shouldn’t do something, later, she excuses what cant be excused, you know what, I also really like Beth, for someone who suffered so much, she is a tough cookie… and guys lets talk louder for the people on the back, don’t trust cults on the apocalypse!…

You know sometimes I got frustrated with the bad choices this family took, I would caught myself saying at the same time things was happening, no, don’t do that, don’t trust him, or don’t do that and yeah, but at the same time, I am glad with the result of some of those choices, mainly Corbin, I do like the guy!

Got to listen to the audiobook, the person reading did a good enough job, well he did try to make different voices, but to be totally honest it didn’t go that well, in the 4th book, he kind of forgot how he was reading James, and the voice didn’t seem like the same, made him, like he was a different person, but that is personal liking, is not something that will put people from listening to the whole story, and I must say I feel really lucky that I got to listen to survive the end full 6 books, because to be fully honest, it doesn’t feel like 6 books it feels like a complete story, so totally worth of my time.

overall is not a bad series, but even thou I am gullible as a naive cat, there are some decisions that the characters took that I definitely wouldn’t have taken and most of said decisions are from book 5 and 6 and again, its for me to know and for you to find out, its still a worthwhile read…

Terrific story

Revisado: 06-01-24 El oyente recibió este título gratis

This is my third book by Grace Hamilton and the first one that I listened as an audiobook, and I enjoyed this one way more than the one I read before, I did like Austin, he was a father after my own heart, always thinking about getting back to his daughter. The story starts before whatever took the power away, and we got to know a bit about Austin and his daughter Savannah. After the death of his wife, Austin is taking care of his daughter alone, homeschooling her, and in this particular day, he had a meeting a bit further away, and he trusted his daughter would be safe, but sometimes things don’t go like we want them to go… I could connect much more with the characters on this particular story, more because I like found families, I don’t think Savannah would think her side of the story was a found family since she wasn’t religious, she was always an outsider.

I did like that even with Amanda (the vet) being a gorgeous woman, Austin was more focused on getting back with his daughter than falling in love, and hey I could see that happening there, but it was a surprise for me that in the end beside some violence the book was quite young adult suited. Also loved that Amanda shinned on her own, a strong and capable woman, with a really big heart, that could see the situation from the outside as well as from the inside… yeah she could be a bit naive, too trusting for the new world, but I think I would be as well…
I don’t know how Savannah, forgot about her friend who lived a couple of farms down the road from her, wouldnt make sense to go to her friend while waiting for her father to arrive? Ok I understand the old man from the next farm was land owner where their had their RV, but still, why stay with Malachi parents since they were so different from her and from her family, but this is my critical spirit and just a question, I really cant wait to read what comes next…. I hate the new order organization, for me they’re bullies who want to make the world burn…

I really did like the work that Maxwell Zener had with this book, he even did voices, and that helped a lot with me being emersed in the story, he was a terrific narrator. So I can only praise him how he brought the story to life.

if you don’t get bothered with cliff hangers, love found family, and people that are trying against all odds to survive, grab a copy, this book is definitely for you too ^___^.

A new take on an EMP

Revisado: 06-27-23 El oyente recibió este título gratis

This was a different take on an EMP apocalyptical situation, I did like the different characters, Ethan and Brooke, and Ethan parents, Nina and Robert, that are currently taking care of Ethan and Brooke twin children, and when the SHTF Ethan and Brooke are really far away (as an european, I am not really sure how far they’re currently away, but it really seems a really long distance) but me as a mother I relate to Brooke, if I was in that situation, going back to my kids it would be the first thing on my mind,and if I was Brooke I would get that across more often to Ethan, that being said, I don’t think I would be able to leave the kids that we helped save in an hospital when the SHTF, at least not until I knew that they had someone to look after them, I could also feel the distress that Nina and Robert feel because they know they have to take care of the twins, children have many needs, I dread to think what would happen if I couldn’t make grocery runs my youngest is also a very picky eater…
ohhh I just need to say this out loud I really loved tank, he is such a good boy, if you like to have a smart dog in your books hey, this character is for you ^___^.

I wont disclosure what happened because that’s for me to know and for you to find out, there’s lots of action in the book, it gets really real and many people loses their lives, some you like better than others, and others you wish the characters got to know who they were before hand, yeah you’ll know who he is…

I got to enjoy the audiobook, read by T.L. Howell, I think this is the second time I have listened to an audiobook read by him, he really tries to make different voices, but I wish he had a female counterpart to help reading the female voices, but he did a decent work overall. I did enjoy the audiobook and I recommend the experience.

I got a free Audible code to listen to this book and this is my honest opinion.

forgiveness must first start in ourselves

Revisado: 03-22-23 El oyente recibió este título gratis

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.

a very funny zombie apocalypse

Revisado: 11-10-22 El oyente recibió este título gratis

I will start this review by saying, its the first time that I have a zombie flipping the bird to someone, this was a very amusing read, I laughed out loud quite a lot (I was doing my things around the house, and my family thought I went nuts hahah), its a very funny approach to a zombie apocalypse, Barrie is a ER doctor, but he and his wife reminds me very much of the couple in the old show “on the bus” hahah Barrie really despairs with his Myfanie. You even got cows that talk hahah thou It took a while for me to understand that they were actual cows hahah.

You have lots of action, and amusing descriptions, I highly recommend this story, even if you don’t like zombies, but like humour this book is really funny, and I would say, it is for a more mature audience.

I loved the people reading this book, they did the voices and gave lots of emotions to bring the story to life, and I did love that.

I got a free Audible code from the author in facebook and this is my honest opinion.

What if all you knew about Lizzie was wrong?

Revisado: 11-04-22 El oyente recibió este título gratis

When I saw the opportunity of reviewing this audio book, I really couldn’t skip it, it tells the story of Lizzie Borden and adapts it to the line of though of if it was zombies, there's already lots of history books about Lizzie, and how she was acquitted, but there’s no real way of learning the true story of what happened, in here she was a hero, ending the “death” of her father and stepmother, and then she learns the “truth” of what is happening all around her, yeah she goes from normal woman to kind of a Buffy Summers.

I did enjoy very much this audio book, the person reading did her best to make all the different voices and that helps in the immersion in the story, also the way the story is written keeps us on our toes to know what will happen next, there's also questioning that brings us back to the real case of Lizzie Borden, as a kind of introduction of the chapters.

I really recommend this audio book, even if you don’t care very much for zombies, but do enjoy reading books about true crime, try this one, see for yourself if this doesn’t make sense.

really good sci fi story

Revisado: 09-23-22 El oyente recibió este título gratis

This is the second book on the series but it was the first one I started with, I do not feel that I missed part of the story, because the author went back and explained all that was needed for the story to make sense. My experience with the audiobook was really good, the book was read by the author, and at first I thought it was slow, but quickly it worked just fine, it was more of growing more used to it, quickly enough I was so engrossed in the story that I would get my phones and listen to the audiobook every time I could, haha with two small children, sometimes that by itself is an achievement.

Without spoilers, mankind leave earth, and go to another planet, the journey there is full of danger and even things that were not considered a danger in the travel to the planet become dangerous… 1600 years later humans come by earth to see if earth is in conditions of being their home again, and like when Columbus went to America, even if not everyone agree, if the one that sent us there want to colonize, the soldier does what he is told to do… the worst of mankind is man itself… this is a great hard sci-fi story, and we get to love many of the characters and hate with passion others, yes PM I am talking about you…

The book ends with a cliffhanger, and I ended this book in such a high note that I really want to read/listen what comes next, even what came before, this author “writes” in a way that It really feels like someone is telling the story to you and you get to dread what will happen to the characters next.

I really recommend this book for fans of sci-fi, even if travel through space is not your thing, give it a try, it is nicely written, and you will feel that is possible that things will go this way in the future.
