by Blake Crouch
A pretty good and thriller from Blake Crouch. I have read a few of his works and have for the most part, enjoyed them all. He can definitely tell a heck of a story. This one was no different, but was missing something for me and I can’t exactly put my finger on it. The characterizations were good an...
For fans of Stephen King, Dean Koontz, and Thomas Harris, picture this: a landscape of American genocide...5 D A Y S A G OA rash of bizarre murders swept the country…Senseless. Brutal. Seemingly unconnected. A cop walked into a nursing home and unloaded his weapons on elderly and staff alike. A mass...

Lots of action! story moved long at a fast pace. I just wish there would have been more info concerning the auroral storm and why all the people who were affected by it just recovered suddenly and returned to normal? Over all a good read.
I only made it 20% of the way into the book. Has a similar premise to Crossed by Garth Ennis. Just didn't grab me.

He is a no-frills but effective action writer and he kept me interested in his novel about a family running from a apocalyptic-styled event and from the people affected by it. It is imaginative and fast-paced. I liked it mainly f...
