Summary

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, an 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?

Perfect for fans of Ryan Schow, Grace Hamilton, Kyla Stone, and Jack Hunt, Grip of Fear is the first book in a brand-new End of Days series, a post-apocalyptic EMP survival thriller featuring flawed, complex characters, and an adrenaline-fueled action-adventure.

Far too short

The book promises a lot. The plot offers a decent amount of avenues to explore but at less than 3 hours long (audio book), it has little time to delve into the characters or storyline.
All in all, pretty disappointing, not because of the story or performances, but because it is far far too short a book.

An Enjoyable Read with Likeable Character

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!

The reading of this book was done very well. I particularly appreciated the fact that different readers read the different characters. Very well done.
