Blurb:
As
the world falls apart, one woman must do whatever it takes to protect
her family…
Fleeing
a devastated California, Claire and her family secure passage aboard
a ferry bound for the safe haven of Seattle, Washington. But
conditions on the boat are little better than the chaos they are
running from. Desperate souls, dwindling supplies, and over-zealous
National Guard troops form a powder keg that threatens to ignite in
violence at any moment.
But heavy handed soldiers are
nothing compared to the danger lurking in the shadows. Hired by the
wealthy and ruthless Hartley family, the sinister mercenary known as
The Architect has one job: retrieve Lydia and her unborn child and
return them to the family.
When a raging storm separates
the group, Claire fears the worst for Lydia. Because if the Hartley’s
manage to get their claws on her, she may truly be out of reach.
And
this time, there will be no escape…
My Review:
Before the world experienced an EMP, Lydia was a surrogate for the Hartley family—one of the most powerful, affluent, and merciless families in the nation. This family employs elite mercenaries to hunt her down, declaring that retrieving the unborn child is their main goal, while Lydia's survival is merely a secondary concern.
Claire, Lydia, and their family flee a devastated California on a ferry bound for Seattle. As disasters pile up, the boat begins to disintegrate, and their supplies are rapidly depleting. Anxiety grows among the passengers about food scarcity, leading some to take or steal provisions.
A fierce storm eventually tears the group apart, thrusting Claire into a frantic struggle to protect her family. After the tempest, Claire finds herself separated from her family, with Lydia in danger after being captured by The Assistant. The storm serves as a diversion, allowing The Assistant to seize Lydia without her family’s awareness.
Unbeknownst to The Assistant, she underestimates the Taylor family she is entangling with. Claire is resourceful and determined to do whatever it takes to rescue her sister.
Meanwhile, Alejandro remains behind to care for Rob and ensure Bobby's safety while Claire embarks on a solo mission to locate The Assistant and Lydia—hoping to reclaim her sister before she is handed over to the Hartley family.
After The Storm is a fantastic continuation of the Survivors of the New Dawn trilogy by Grace Hamilton. The narrative is skillfully crafted and captivated me from the very first page. The characters and the universe established in Survivors of the New Dawn will linger in my mind for a long time. They all feel like family, as if you’ve known them forever.
I can’t get enough of tales like After The Storm and wholeheartedly recommend it to all fans of post-apocalyptic and dystopian fiction! Be sure to grab a copy of After The Storm today for another enthralling survival adventure!
