ONE INTENSE EXPERIENCE!!!
OMG! Holy crap, guys this is one of the most thrilling rides I have ever been on. Kyla has this series rocking to its own beat. I was in awe from the first part. I was thinking some dumb crap about it couldn’t get any better. Blew my mind once again and I’m happy to say it does indeed continue on its forward path even better than the last. All the drama, uncertainty, fear, danger and suspense increases while tension spirals. All the plot twists, unexpected circumstances and unpredictable surprises make for one thrilling experience. I don’t know what Kyla uses for inspiration but I’m solidly on the Kyla team. Man, with her insight, eye for detail and imagination alone picks up the gold metal from me. I have to say if you guys read nothing else this year, you have to read this kick-ass series. If you like it action packed, fast paced, nerve racking, spine tingling and an adrenaline rush so swift you can’t put this series down once you start. I’ve read the entire thing so far 4 times without missing a beat. Kyla really rocked this series and man she nailed it. An amazing job Kyla, thanks for sharing this awesome read with us.
If the radiation doesn’t kill you, the survivors will.” This is the main message of this book. Dakota Sloan is on a quest to reunite with her younger sister, Eden, after the United States has been attacked by at least 13 nuclear bombs. After holing up with other survivors to avoid the worst of the fallout, Dakota decides that the time has come to find Eden.
She is joined by a group of survivors who have come to rely on her knowledge of surviving the aftermath of a nuclear attack. The group includes a former convict, a religious bartender just wanting to find his wife, and a nursing student. As this motley crew tries to make their way across Miami, they encounter some not so savory characters in the form of a gang called the Blood Outlaws. They soon find out that when dealing with these types, it’s basically kill or be killed.
The author continues to uncover the back story of the characters like peeling an onion. This seems to be pretty realistic to me since the group is thrown together in the midst of a disaster. As their stories are revealed, the reader begins to find out what makes them tick and what motivates them in their behaviors. The writing is well-done and keeps the reader’s attention throughout the book. One thing that kept me reading is wanting to find out what happened to Dakota and Eden in their life prior to the nuclear attack.
The story is fast-paced and the characters begin to grow on you as you read. Of course, I expect that not all of them will survive since this is a post-apoc book. The ending is once again a sort of cliffhanger, but the reader should be aware of this since there are currently 5 books in the series.
The narrator, Stacey Glemboski, does a great job. Her pacing is perfect and her performance added a lot to my listening enjoyment. I was given the chance to listen to the audiobook version of this book by the author and chose to review it.
The series needs to be read. This book takes you through the journey the survivers take to try to get somewhere safe. But there is another threat out there that they can’t seem to get away from. These books are a great read.
Fear the Fallout (Nuclear Dawn, Book 2) by Kyla Stone and narrated by Stacey Glemboski is a thrilling second book to the series and I’m loving it! Recommend if you’re looking for something in the post-apocalyptic genre, something new and will hold your attention, a shorter listen, or if you enjoyed the first book.
The book beings with the characters making their way to rescue Eden. They continue to deal with the fallout and the world running amok. We learn more of everyone’s past including the sister’s time spent with Ezra and how things came to be. The story once again being told from Dakota, Eden, Logan, and Maddox’s point of view.
The narrator, Stacey Glemboski, was great. Easy-to-listen-to voice and a good pace.
Overall, I’d recommend, especially if you’re looking for a new post-apocalyptic series. I listened to this one straight through- very difficult to put down.
Parental guidance/trigger warnings: Similar warnings as the first book- fallout and death from the nuclear bombs, foster system problems (abuse), alcoholism, gangs, guns, violence (what you’d expect if the world fell apart), past abuse that the sister’s suffered at hands of a religious organization (beatings or similar type of abuse), religious fanatics (minimal preaching).
*I was given a free review copy of the audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. Thank you for allowing me to listen and review the book!
