RAGING STORM

(REMNANT)

BY

Vannetta Chapman

In the Darkness,
Anarchy Awakens

When a massive solar flare wiped out all modern technology across the globe, the small town of Abney, Texas, was thrown into chaos. Shelby Sparks and her teenage son, Carter, have found refuge, but Shelby knows she can't simply remain hidden. Carter is a type 1 diabetic in need of insulin--and Shelby will risk her life traveling to Austin to make sure he gets it.

Shelby's best friend and high school sweetheart, Max Berkman, won't even consider letting her make the perilous journey alone. Together, they manage to reach the capital--only to discover that while things are desperate in Abney, Austin has turned into an urban nightmare on the brink of anarchy.

Shelby and Max's search for medical supplies will lead them into terrifying territory, where the only thing more uncertain than finding what they need is the hope of making it out of the city alive.

In this second book in an eerily plausible, action-packed dystopian series, survival will be threatened and faith will be put to the ultimate test as a raging storm engulfs America.

MY THOUGHTS…

*I received a copy of this book from Netgalley, in exchange for an honest review*

This book was an excellent interpretation of what would happen if the world lost all power - this book shows us how reliant we, as the human race, have become on technology in this day and age.

I must admit, for me, this book dragged until I reached about halfway. The events kept repeating themselves - meet a good group who wants to help, meet an evil group who take your belongings, meet another good group, etc. I felt that the book should have taken place over a longer course of time than just five days, especially considering the length of the book.

I also felt that this book ended abruptly. Shelby finally gets back and finds out that Carter has had an accident, and it's pretty bad, but the book ends just as she's opening the door to see him - I wanted to read on and find out if he survived, what his reaction is to see his mother walk in. I thought that, as the book is a long one, another two or three pages could have been written so that the reader knows that Carter is either going to be okay or not.

I liked the story, despite my opinions about the faults, and Recommend it to end-of-the-world, post-apocalypse lovers.
