Review

Realistic!The story is so real, it didn't feel like fiction to me. I was hooked at the start by the compelling story of a family and friends joining together for survival after the grid goes down. Wonderful writing with unique characters. Great book! -- Amazon Reader

Danger In The CloudsI was hooked on this book from the beginning. Great read and will be downloading another one of her books -- Amazon Reader

Great ReadI enjoyed every bit of this story. It's the first book if this author's I have read but not the last. I can't wait for the next book! Loved Aimee Louise and Rosalie. Loved the family and how everyone was treated and given their own voices. Very enjoyable!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent read!

After a cyberattack caused economic collapse, Major and his granddaughter, autistic Aimee Louise, open his farm to locals needing refuge. With each new addition, do they become a bigger target, or will they succeed in thwarting an evil conspiracy threatening them all? Together with his growing family, he fights off thugs identified by Aimee’s unique gifts. This first book in the Grid Down Survival Series is suspenseful, fast-moving, with richly drawn characters and enough plot twists to keep me on the edge of my seat. Excellent read!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great story but writing skills need improvement
Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2021

This book has an interesting storyline and nice departures from the usual stories of this type. The autistic character is an especially good depiction. The writing style is awkward and there are several plot errors, but I figure these aren’t critical, just noticeable. I look forward to the next book in the series.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was fast paced in all the right places. The writer is very good at getting right to the heart of the story without a lot of un necessary words.the story starts out at a good pace and builds from there. I like the characters and hope to see more of them in the next book.

3.0 out of 5 stars A different spin
Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2020
Verified Purchase
I read this completely, to give it the benefit of a doubt, but just couldn't give it a better rating. The concept was good, liked most of the characters, but felt it was written in a very elementary manner, maybe for younger readers. It also felt disjointed concerning 'the bad guys and didn't have a sensible closure/ending.

5.0 out of 5 stars More YA than adult level novel but still good
Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2019
Verified Purchase
I did like the story very much but the level of it was more teenager than adult. Although there was plenty of action the descriptions were simplified down to the basic descriptions instead of more detail that I would expect in an adult novel. It also contained a good amount of suggestions for prepping in case of an emergency in case the grid goes down, something that most of us would be ill equipped to handle. Overall, I did enjoy the story but would have preferred more detail and depth.

5.0 out of 5 stars CLouds are so expressive
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 9, 2019

This book is brilliant, it incorporates many differential problems and how people react to them. It also a extremely clever autistic girl who sees ever emotion as clouds rather than people's facial expressions. This helps to save the people around her time and again.

Aimee Louise goes to live in her grandfather's farm after the death of her parents and when things start to lose power they are joined by several others who help to keep the farm safe and secure.

They help to find out the reason behind the shortages and to aid the recovery of the area.

A must read for anyone who loves dystopian books.

2.0 out of 5 stars Unbelievable
Reviewed in Canada on January 10, 2020

This book read as if it was written by a teenager.
It seemed to me that the protagonists spent most of their time eating or planning meals, which were described in minute detail. The eating became so repetitive, I started skimming over them.
The same thing with the characters. they repeated the same things over and over again.
A lot of it was unbelievable; young teenagers learning to drive a variety of vehicles instantly and getting permission from their guardians to drive regardless of not taking a test or applying for a drivers licence.
The good people were too good. It's hard to believe a whole mob of different characters could instantly accept an love one another the moment they met.
There were so many characters, I couldn't keep track of who was who, and as for the bad guys, I still don't know who they were or what they were trying to do even though I read to the end.
