Thank you, NetGalley and the publisher, for the opportunity to read and review "Fractured Days", the second book in Grace Hamilton's "After The End" series, a post-apocalyptic novel of suspense.
Following on from "Trapped Days", we find Shannon Atkinson/Sarah Nakamura and Bill Wheeler dealing with the aftermath of the attack outside the Supercenter, and on the road to Memphis, hopefully to meet up with her family (including her daughter), We also find Kim Nakamura and Dennis (her WitSec contact) - and of course, Mutt - struggling to make it to the rendezvous, but running into a whole world of trouble on the way.
Meantime, Shannon/Sarah's ex-husband - the absolutely evil Andre, has gained an acolyte and together they're also on the way to Memphis, with less than familial reunion on his mind.
This worthy sequel to Trapped Days starts to draw all of the main characters together and sets up an absolutely epic showdown as Shannon's long-awaited reunion with her family doesn't go quite as planned... Stay tuned for book three!
Highly recommended for fans of post-apocalyptic fiction. I wouldn't recommend as a standalone.

I've been a Grace Hamilton fan for many years. Her series are set "after the fall of the world as we know it" and continue to prove that a dedicted group of people can always change the world around them. Hamilton is a prolific writer, having many series that revolve around differing groups of people and their repsonse to life "after" but none of them are the same. Each series places the characters....and the readers....in difficult circumstances where a group of individuals must become a team to survive. There is always drama, tension and enough twists and traps that you'll binge read to see what will happen next. I'm pretty sure that thanks to reading so many of Grace Hamilton's books, should the apocalypse not kill me, I'll know what to do to survive!!!!
