Blurb:

A deadly storm looms—and an old enemy prepares to strike…

For two years, Bear’s cabin has been a haven from the outside world. Hidden deep in the forest, Bear, Laurel, Mae, Trent, and their dog Jess have built a life for themselves—including a thriving medical clinic run by Laurel serving their isolated community. But their peaceful lives are shattered when a late winter blizzard engulfs the area, just as a fire breaks out and burns a neighbor’s cabin to the ground.

When a second cabin burns, with tragic results, the community is forced to face the ugly truth. Someone is targeting their community, and no one is safe.

Meanwhile, Gideon is on the run. His militia is no match for Bennett’s brutal paramilitary force, and with Sharon and Lisa in tow, he’s desperate for refuge. But a plea for help forces him into a deadly confrontation, and now Bennett will stop at nothing to hunt him down.

Out of options, Gideon heads for Bear’s cabin—the only sanctuary left. But he isn’t the only one bringing danger. As the storm rages and tensions mount, Bear’s sanctuary becomes the battleground for survival.

With enemies closing in, will they stand together—or lose everything?

My Review:

I am absolutely thrilled to witness the continuation of the EMP Aftermath Saga with its eighth installment, Sabotaged World by Grace Hamilton. What a fantastic addition to this series, Sabotaged World turned out to be. I adore this series and can’t seem to get enough of its remarkable characters, Bear, Laurel, Mae, Trent, Jess, Gideon, Lisa, and Sharon.

The world-building is among the finest I’ve ever encountered. The descriptions are equally well-crafted; I had no trouble whatsoever envisioning everything I was reading playing out in my mind as if I were part of this extraordinary world myself. You genuinely feel a connection to the characters, as if they are individuals you would like to befriend.

Someone is setting fire to the cabins in Bear, Laurel, Mae, and Trent’s small community. What could their motive be for such actions? Is it out of vengeance? Do they simply enjoy igniting fires?

Meanwhile, Gideon, Lisa, and Sharon have finally managed to break free from Bennett and his malicious ways. They have determined that their only refuge is to rush to Bear and Laurel’s as fast as they can, hoping to arrive there before Bennett catches up with them.

As soon as I began reading Sabotaged World, I was completely engrossed; stopping was not an option, even if I had wanted to. The more I read, the more intense the tension grew as I anticipated the confrontation that was bound to occur when Bennett showed up at Bear and Laurel’s home.

I wholeheartedly recommend Sabotaged World to all fans of post-apocalyptic fiction! Snatch up a copy of Sabotaged World today!
