End of the world and after the disaster books hold a certain fascination to me. Life as we know it can change in an instant as it does for the characters in Grace Hamilton's series. I have read alot of her books and they are all fresh, no retelling the same story over and over. The fact that she can write so many unique versions of a catastrophe means I am well educated on how to get from point a to point b before, during and after an event.

As Laurel fights to keep her patients safe and Bear fights to get to Laurel, we get an excellent thriller.

The end of the first book in the series, Broken World, has South Minneha Hospital in the hands of a crazed gunman desperate for help for his son. Laurel, along with her skeleton hospital crew work to keep the patients calm under this new threat, but as time goes on and meds run out, she must travel to a neighboring town and beg help from their hospital. Meanwhile her husband Bear and Trent learn the hard way to trust no one, facing threats both human and animal on their way toward Laurel and South Minneha.
Oh boy, the title of this book is so fitting as more and more enemies come out of the woodwork. Full of heartbreaking decisions and nonstop action, my only complaint is that I'm still waiting for the reunion between Laurel and Bear. Oh well, I'll just have to read the next exciting book in the series.
I received an advance reader copy of this book. The views and opinions expressed in this review are completely my own and given voluntarily.

I’ve been loving this world that Grace Hamilton has created, as well as all the characters. Personally I love a book that have high steaks and tension so this was right up my alley!

Chaotic World by Grace Hamilton.
Book 2 of EMP Aftermath.
Society falls. Anarchy rises. Courage endures…
Laurel survived the collapse of civilization. In the aftermath of a devastating EMP disaster, she fought to turn Minneha Hospital into a place of refuge. Now, the hospital has become a beacon of hope—but a beacon can attract predators, too. Predators like Arlo, the brutal leader of a ruthless gang. Desperate to save his dying son, Arlo takes over the hospital and gives Laurel an impossible ultimatum: save his terminally ill boy… Or watch everyone she cares for die. Meanwhile, Laurel’s husband Bear continues his trek across Minnesota, alone save for his loyal dog, Jessamine. The last time he teamed up with a fellow survivor, he was betrayed and almost killed. Now he keeps to himself, as the remnants of society turn to violence and bloodshed in a savage fight for survival. Bear can take care of himself—but it’s cold, and it’s getting colder. And if he wants to reach Laurel before winter hits, he’ll have to do the unthinkable. He’ll have to trust someone…
A brilliant read. Loved Laurel Janet Bulldog and Bear.but didn't like Arlo. I'm looking forward to the next book. 5*.
