Publisher's Summary

The lights are out for good....

The Riley family is preparing to start a new life as owners of the River Rock Hotel in Galena, IL, when the lights go out and the world plunges into chaos. Matthew Riley wants to believe that people will come together to overcome the challenge, but as panic sets in after the massive EMP event, he has to face the harsh truth that the only people he can trust are his family.

His ailing father, David, has the skills the Riley family needs to survive in the dark new world, but with no medication for his heart condition on hand, his health is failing. Matthew’s wife, Kathleen, doesn’t share his optimism, but she will do what it takes to keep the family together and defend the hotel from the violent survivors who want to take it for their own.

As resources grow scarcer, family is the only bond that can be counted on. But those bonds are strained and frayed as the tensions of the new world begin to pull them apart. In a broken civilization, the only way to survive is strength in numbers. How can one family and their allies survive when the world has turned upside down?

Horrible Characters

I couldn’t find anyone to like in this story. They are all self righteous and hypocritical. They would be the worst people to be anywhere near in a societal breakdown. I struggled to make it half way and seriously doubt it would have gotten better.

Pronunciation nightmare

The story was bland and the characters competed to see who could be the dumbest. However, I found the horrible pronunciation of the narrator to be the worst aspect of this tale. 'Apoc-u-lypse'? 'Mel' for male. 'Fill' for feel. 'Mis-happen' for misshapen. And so on and so on...
There were so many that I wanted to quit. I kept listening to finish the story, just in case it got better. If I were the author, I would be very upset at this narration.
