My rating: 💛💛💛💛
Another great story about how characters who were used to modern day technology - electricity, microwaves, cars - had to face day to day life with the power grid down. And if it is not a challenge to learn how to hunt, and cook food over the fire, the characters face the added challenges of fighting bandits and solving murders.
And then there is a group out there who targets vulnerable kids during this time, luring them and pulling them into a trafficking ring.
For me, all the challenges the characters had to face was realistic and suspenseful. This story flowed easy with enough events going on that made me want to keep reading - I read the first half in one day and if I had more time, I would have read this story in one sitting.
I enjoyed the relationship development between Levi and Ava and the lesson that both Faith and Fear has a voice and it is your decision which one you will listen to.
I'm enjoying this story and looking forward to book three - there is a lot of missing characters and I need to know what happened to them.

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.
