This is book two of The Revival Series and follows on almost immediately after the first book. While I appreciate that most of the questions from the first book were answered, I didn’t enjoy this book as much as the first one. This one seemed more violent and, about half way through, it took off in a completely unexpected, and frankly unbelievable, direction. I also found the violent and abrupt ending in the compound to be troubling.

My copy of this book was provided by the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. My thanks to the author, the publisher, and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review it.

Cold Storage by Michael C. Grumley Second book in the Revival series with the enigmatic John Rieff . This adventure again combines science fiction with fast paced action that is both thought-provoking and gripping.

Thank you to the author, Tor publishing and NetGalley for the opportunity to preview the book.

This is the second (I believe) in Grumley's series featuring Army Veteran John Reiff. Although this is technically a sequel, I think it functions as a standalone thriller as well. With a writing style that includes enough twits and turns to fully engage the reader, I can see my reluctant young adult readers, particularly the males, flocking to this series. It is a must add to library collections.
