My Review:
A young woman, twenty-six-year-old investigative journalist Cassandra Drews is meeting her ex to give back some of the things he left behind at her place when they split. In my opinion, I think he just wanted an excuse to try and get Cass to come back to him. I think there is more to this dude than is revealed.
Just as Cass walks into the cafe and gives him his box of goods a car comes crashing through the window. Cass reacts instantly trying to help as many people as she can.
The moment the car comes crashing through the window the power goes out everywhere leaving the world in darkness, well, maybe not literally at the time but you get my meaning right? All electronic devices stop working sending the world into chaos. The world comes to a grinding halt as most do not know what to do without their electronics. What happens? Chaos sets in.
People start looting, grabbing whatever they can. People are afraid and so anyone with any evil in them well, it comes bubbling to the surface, showing their true nature. But of course, there are some really great humans as well trying to save or help as many people as they can and Cass is one of those people.
Cass tries to help or save anyone who needs it while also trying to make her way home. After arriving at her apartment she learns that her roommate has left with her boyfriend leaving her dog behind for Cass to take care of. When no other choice or nowhere else to go Cass decides to follow in her friend's footsteps.
Surviving Chaos was a great start to a new series the End of Days. Once I picked it up I was instantly lost in its world. I was drawn in as if I was a character too just following Cass where ever she went. I felt as if Surviving Chaos came to life with me right there in the middle of it. The world-building was one of the best and brilliantly written. There was enough excitement going on that I had no problem staying glued to the pages. I am looking forward to seeing more of this world.
I love post-apocalyptic stories like Surviving Chaos very much and I highly recommend it to all dystopian and post-apocalyptic fans! Grab your copy of Surviving Chaos today and start a new adventure in a new world filled with chaos.
