No lights。 No power。 No help。
During the coldest winter on record， an EMP attack wipes out the nation's power and cripples the country。
As the city spirals into lawless chaos， investigative journalist， twenty-six-year-old Cassandra Drews is forced onto the dangerous streets of Portland to begin the long walk to her parents’ home in Oregon
But hypothermia and starvation aren't the only dangers Cass and her rescue dog， Daisy， face on their perilous trek。 Danger is stalking them， waiting for the perfect moment to strike。 Help comes in the form of troubled ex-marine Isaac Winters， who slips back into soldier mode with the city's collapse。
Now， the trio must work together in a fight for survival as they race to escape the city before violence， or the bitter wintry storm can claim them。 Do they have what it takes to make it out alive？ Or will they be crushed by the brutality of the unforgiving cold？

For a post-apoc/EMP， this wasn’t over-the-top like many I’ve read。 The action is set at a good pace and the violence/gore is kept to a minimum。 It seems realistic enough that I want to start some “prepping” myself。On a lighter note， I loved the road game。 It brought back some of my favorite childhood memories from road trips or visiting grandparents。

Another amazing series。 If this is the start， I can’t wait for the next An EMP has knocked out electricity。 Of course it’s cold and how will people survive in this disaster， you wonder。 I was gripped as I turned each page。 Impossible to think， the worse might not have happened yet。 Superb。

Carries on from where the previous book ended。 Everyone is struggling to understand what has occurred and most are totally unprepared for it。 The fear and anxiety is palpable as Cass makes her way toward her grandmothers。 This is one of those novels which not only grabs you but also makes you feel the tension。

From the start， I liked the main characters and understood something of what drove them to tackle a world that had changed fundamentally overnight。 They had some skill in survival and a determination to tackle their new reality which they did with courage despite their well-founded fear。 Even the secondary characters came to life despite the fact that they only had a passing part to play in the story。 For the main characters， there was always the thought of arriving at something safer but alongs From the start， I liked the main characters and understood something of what drove them to tackle a world that had changed fundamentally overnight。 They had some skill in survival and a determination to tackle their new reality which they did with courage despite their well-founded fear。 Even the secondary characters came to life despite the fact that they only had a passing part to play in the story。 For the main characters， there was always the thought of arriving at something safer but alongside that， the fear that they wouldn’t find the safety that they longed for。 If you enjoy books about people struggling in a world that is descending into chaos in the face of rigid cold， this is the book for you！ 。。。more

Wowwwwwwww。。。。 I have read many post apocalyptic books， but somehow a similar 'concept' has taken a whole new direction。 We have the survivors， we have them on their way to a destination， but the events happening during that 'adventure' are soooo not the norm。 Cass and Issac are together with sweet Daisy navigating the cold and ice to work on getting to their families。 Little does Cass know， but Nathan is STILL stalking her， but Isaac is aware and has her back。 If anyone had my back， I'd want so Wowwwwwwww。。。。 I have read many post apocalyptic books， but somehow a similar 'concept' has taken a whole new direction。 We have the survivors， we have them on their way to a destination， but the events happening during that 'adventure' are soooo not the norm。 Cass and Issac are together with sweet Daisy navigating the cold and ice to work on getting to their families。 Little does Cass know， but Nathan is STILL stalking her， but Isaac is aware and has her back。 If anyone had my back， I'd want someone like Isaac to do so。That epilogue tho。。。。。 CREEPY stuff， this boy is NOT right in the head。 What did poor Cass get herself into？ Proves， you never know a person and what they are REALLY like。I hope the wait for book 2， Grip of Darkness isn't too long！ 。。。more
