This is another great book in a wonderful series. Definitely not a standalone, but well worth reading the whole series of books.
Liam, Hannah, Ghost and baby Charlotte are still trying to reach Hannah’s family in Fall Creek, Michigan. But, what will they find if they finally reach their destination? Hannah is desperate to get back to her husband and son after 5 years of captivity, but will it be a dream come true? Or, will the events of the EMP make it something less desirable?
Without giving away too much of the story, I will say that this book brings out all the feels: Love, anger, redemption, fear/terror, betrayal, and sorrow.
The characters in this series are totally relatable and grow on the reader until you feel like they are family. The villains are truly horrible, the heroes are just that, and the other characters are regular, flawed humans.
I judge a book a lot by how I feel while reading it. This book totally consumed my emotions from start to finish. I found myself crying, cheering, wanting to throttle someone, and more as I listened to this book.
And, Ghost is my all-time favorite doggy hero! What an amazing animal he is and the author really makes him feel real.
The narrator does a great job and keeps the story moving at the perfect pace. My only fault with this book is that it ends on unfinished business and I have to wait for the author to get the next one written! I was given the chance to listen to the audiobook version of this book by the author/publisher and chose to review it.
This fourth episode of the Edge of Chaos series includes the resolution of a couple of items that have been the basis of the three previous stories, and then introduces several new elements that make this story one of those that you cannot put down. Waiting on the next /last episode of this series is going to be difficult to say the least.
What a book! Kyla has outdone herself on this one. Page by page, you can’t stop going. The action is unbelievable.! I received this book as a gift in exchange for an honest review.
AN ABSOLUTELY ASTOUNDING TREAT!!!
Low rider! Kyla unleashes one action packed, heart pounding, pulse racing, nail-biting, spine tingling, nerve racking, page flipping bombshell, revving up the adrenaline and intensity, blasting this baby to life spectacularly. A churning vortex of intimidating trials and challenging tribulations, exposing the thrilling ups and stunning downs along with a few bumps and bruises, noting the sharp corners and sleek lines, fusing this bad boy together one jagged piece at a time. Anarchy runs rampant and havoc is rife, rolling out the drama, turmoil, intrigue, danger, spiraling suspense and intense situations, along with a double dose of evil intents while dodging calamity, you have one intoxicating masterpiece. This action packed, hard hitting, pulse racing, heart pounding, adrenaline pumping, page flipping bombshell, propels this gem to a whole new level. Lines blur and boundaries crossed, limitations are stretched and bent, booting this baby forward, kicking it into overdrive, slamming it into a tailspin with an intoxicating culmination. The characters are authentic and realistic with depth and individuality it feels like you can just reach out and touch them. The scenes are so graphically detailed and descriptive it’s like being transported to ground zero with them. Remarkable job Kyla, thanks for sharing this little jewel with us.
I don’t know how she does it but Kyla Stone makes each book better than the one before. I have no idea how she will end this series but I have already pre-ordered it. Some of the characters I really love, then there are some who are true villains and others that are just mean. I was happy Hannah made it home, but it was a big letdown. I really don’t like the militia in Falls Crre. Lots of twists and turns, lots of cruelty to innocent people. Hope the ending takes care of all the bad guys, and no more good guys have to die. I hope she has another good driers ready to start when this one ends.
The book starts out with Quinn & Milo out walking in the extra thick and heavy snow. Even after all both of them have been through they can’t seem to escape trouble or seeing things they perhaps shouldn’t. They are in the Winter Haven area that Milo is living with his father, Noah, the Chief of Police live. Those that live at Winter Haven have been assigned their houses by Rosamund, as the usual occupants aren’t staying in them as they were more holiday homes. Winter Haven is quite “new age” in that they have solar power which of course means showers, hot water, better cooking facilities and much easier living conditions too. Anyone living at Winter Haven is considered lucky and most fortunate by those who don’t live there. So, its not really surprising when some of the Fall Creek residents decide they should have one of these large, all modern conveniences, solar powered homes for themselves. The Winter Haven resident they choose to oust is the community bank manager Darryl Wiggins. Without going into much detail there is a scuffle going on and a couple of Militia Members, Sebastian Desoto (Mattias Sutter’s second in command) & James Luther. The same two men who in Quinn’s opinion had barged into her grandmother Molly’s home and stolen her canned and preserved foods. Despite being told to be careful around these men when Quinn sees them shooting those who were attempting to take Darryl’s home, she literally flashes back to when their leader Mattias Sutter shot her mother. When Milo runs towards the men shouting for them to stop shooting, Quinn cannot help but become involved. The action forced by Milo involving himself in the action, puts an even bigger target on Quinns back than she had before in the eyes of the Militia’s second in command Desoto. Quinn isn’t the only one with a target on her back either, as Liam finds himself in danger, though its nothing he can’t handle, it’s the fact that puts others around him in danger too that irks him into planning some sort of action. Initially he wants to walk away but when it becomes clear his new friends intend to fight back, he agrees to stay and help in the fight.
At just 10% into the Edge of Anarchy I found that I had easily slipped back into the harsh new reality the characters are living in and the new situations they were coping with. I enjoyed continuing to adore the great characters I had come to love so far, such as Hannah, Liam, Quin, Milo and Molly (& Ghost of course). This book also has those characters that you “love to hate” like Sutter and most of his men. Then there’s the characters that I initially felt okay about, such as the Superintendent Rosamund Sinclair who has been increasingly showing a rather darker, underhand side of herself and I even found myself doubting Noah who I had adored earlier in the series. I just don’t like who he is becoming now he is Chief of Police and seems firmly set under Rosamund’s steely grip and influence! Edge of Anarchy felt even more fast paced and so quick to read. Had I had the time to sit I just know I would have read it in one go!!
My immediate thoughts upon finishing reading this book were Wow! Amaaaazing! Action packed from the beginning to the end! What “side” will Noah choose? Will Noah and his wife Hannah even be able to rekindle whatever love was left in their marriage, or has too much time passed? Hannah has changed both physically & mentally. Can everyone else come to terms with and accept those changes? Who is the right man for Hannah? I know who I want her to be with!
To sum up I have tried really hard not to give away spoilers in this review which is why it will probably come across as less detailed, maybe vague review. If you have read the series so far then Edge of Anarchy is an absolute must read. If you haven’t read any of the series so far you need to start it now! I am really looking forward to the next book already too!
I have read many many of Kyla Stone’s books and the writing in Edge of Anarchy is without a doubt the best work she has ever done (at least of what I have read). There are paragraphs that were so well written that it took my breath away. The whole book is just superbly written. The plot of this book is easy to follow and does not do any twist. There is romance but it is kept inside each character. It does not have a lot of violence but enough to make the book exciting. Make sure you give yourself time to read this book slowly to enjoy the writing. I wish I could give this book 10 stars.
This is an epic read right from the start. You definitely don’t want to miss out on this series. The Author has really done an amazing job with bringing this story to fruition. This had me on the edge of my seat throughout the whole read. There is never a full moment. I absolutely love the book cover as well. If you haven’t read the start of this series. I definitely recommend the whole series.
