Review: Survival

Survival Survival by Lisa Harris
My rating: 💛💛💛💛

What a great suspense. This is one of those stories where you think you will only read a few chapters, but find yourself not being able to put the book down.

God can use bad events for His glory, but that doesn't mean He's behind them.

The challenges the characters faced with the electronic break felt real and the balance between the suspense, danger and the characters dealing with their new normal was great.

You reminded me that I can't spend my life waiting for this to be over. I have to find out how to live in the middle of it.

The book ended on a high note and I’m eager to continue the story in book 2.

Fans of Terri Blackstock’s restoration series will enjoy this series.

About the book:


Welcome to Shadow Ridge, where Longmire meets Jericho.

A dead body. A missing suspect. A town fighting for survival.

In today’s world, law enforcement agencies across the country rely on forensic tools, DNA testing, and crime labs. But what if that technology was suddenly no longer available? No one in the small, west Texas town of Shadow Ridge knows what took down the power grid, or when it’s going to be back up, but everyone knows exactly where they were the moment it went down. And now, with no electricity, no internet, and no modern technology, the men and women responsible for keeping the town safe are going to have to learn how to fight crime all over again.

When one of the men in charge of storing food for the town of Shadow Ridge is found murdered execution style, it’s up to Jace McQuaid to find the killer. What he discovers is a group of organized raiders who are stealing supplies and selling them on the black market—and the survival of the town depends on stopping them.

Morgan Addison’s estranged brother, Ricky, shows up at her house demanding weapons and confirming her fears that he’s a part of the outlaws. Tensions are raised further when Ricky kidnaps her son to ensure his safe passage out of town. Jace must find a way to save Noah and ensure the survival of Shadow Ridge.

~Survival is book one in the new Fallout series. Each novel contains a standalone mystery, but there are overarching stories that tie together the entire series.
