Publisher's summary

The first rule of living through the apocalypse. Trust no one.

Ara

Is desperate to reunite with her father and put the events that happened in Boise behind her. Ara hopes to find sanctuary in The Last City, an almost-mythical place where the plague is nonexistent and she can finally discover the truth about her family. Once she arrives, she discovers the truth is stranger than fiction, and Ara wonders if she’s made a huge mistake....

Kaden

Will go anywhere for Ara, will do anything, but he’s tested to his limits in The Last City. Forced to join a dangerous expedition, Kaden soon finds himself separated from Ara and, once again, on the run for his life. He barely escaped alive, and now he needs to risk it all again to find Ara in The Last City....

Sam

Has hooked up a rigged electrical system, blasting away the silence with music, feeling almost normal since he nearly lost his life. He doesn’t know where Kaden and Ara are, and when he meets a mysterious girl named E, they embark on an adventure that will bring all of their lives clashing together....

All three must uncover the secrets of The Last City if they have any hope of getting out of this apocalypse alive.

Great story

Loved this story. The girl that read for Ara was a little annoying to listen to but everyone else reading was great.

Just keeps pulling you in

Much like my review with the first book, I enjoyed the second one and am eagerly awaiting the next one- and as expected it was just as good as the first book. It starts off with a bit of a jump forward from the first book but you get caught up pretty quickly. The twists and turns keep you guessing but focused to see if you are right. Some things are predictable but not in a bad way, just in a way that the atory is moving forward and giving you the information needed. I enjoyed the ending, and how it really sets up the next book...though since this one just came out who knows how long that will be-oh well bot much I can do but be patient .
Once again the story nearly gets 5 stara but the cheese parts- are just...so...CHEESEY. It detracts a bit, especially when its from the two main protagonists Kaden and Ara- their characters and their character development really don't fit the cheesey, mushy type. However, the story, voice actors all of it is well done-except for the cheese.

Just wonderful

I can’t wait for the next book i mean the delivery from start to finish was amazing

A perfect second book!

I haven’t enjoyed a series as much as this one in a long time! The story is awesome, the characters are well developed and it’s so beautifully written. I can’t wait for the next book.

I didn’t want the book to end

I couldn’t stop listening. If you enjoy dystopian adventure, this series is excellent. There is romance but the author kept it clean and the lead characters are strong. I definitely recommend this book for teens, young adults, and older.

Good Story

I enjoyed the different perspectives of the characters within the book. It added to the suspense.

Great sequel!

This was such a good sequel! If you love post apocalyptic books, then you should definitely give this series a try! This book was fast paced and full of adventure, action and twists! I loved all three POV’s, and the narrators were great! I can’t wait to see what will happen in the next book after that ending!!

Cannot wait

I cannot wait until the 3rd book is available on Audible or Kindle!!! Please hurry!!! It’s so good!!!

Easy breezy

The different narrators made it easy to determine from whose point of view the story was being told.
The story easily sucked me in and kept me entertained.
I am looking forward for the next book.

It's BoiSe not BoiZe!

This book would have gotten five stars from me but I can't tell you how much it grated on me every time one of the voice actors said BoiZe instead of BoiSe, and it was a lot. And no I am not being petty. As a Boise native it seriously detracted from the story.
The author's an Idaho native so I'm guessing she just didn't listen to the narrative before letting it go. I'm kind of disappointed but I'm still eagerly awaiting the next book.
