Review: Survive the Turmoil (Small Town EMP #6) by Grace Hamilton

Blurb:


In the battle for survival, one family makes its final stand…

In the aftermath of a devastating EMP attack, Austin and Amanda must seek out a new safe haven. When the tiny plane flying them to Seattle is forced to make an emergency landing, they find themselves stranded with a group of kids at a tiny mountain airstrip, miles from their destination. And they’re not alone…

Lydia Koble’s shadow stretches even into the remote Washington wilderness. When a truck full of armed militia pulls up, Austin and Amanda fear the worst. But it’s not Koble’s forces who have captured them. It’s something even more dangerous.

As Koble’s grip tightens on the surrounding area, more people rise up against her. An armed rebel force has built a base in the mountains—and Austin, Amanda, and the kids have strayed into their territory.

Austin never wanted to fight in a rebellion. He just wants to keep his family safe. But sometimes “safe” isn’t enough.

Sometimes you have to fight to survive…

My Review:

Amanda, Austin, Malachi, Andy, and the rest of their group, along with their two canine companions, Russ and Maggy, have arrived in Spokane, where they connect with a group that welcomes them.

They are uncertain about whether this group can be trusted, but they do have a safe place to stay, and this group has invited them into their home. They will have to wait and see, keeping a close watch on everyone and getting to know them to determine their trustworthiness.

Meanwhile, Koble is still hot on their trail and is very determined to catch up to them. Austin doesn’t want to fight, but he might not have a choice if he wants to keep his family safe. After all, Koble will not stop until she gets what she desires from them.

They decide to stand with this new group against Koble together; hopefully, they can stop her before it's too late. They need to find more powerful weapons for their fight if they hope to defeat Koble.

Survive the Turmoil didn’t draw me into its world as completely as I was drawn into the world of Small Town EMP when I read Survive the Chaos, the first book in the series. I love stories like this and have enjoyed reading every book in this series.

The world-building is not just amazing; it is extraordinary, and I would love to see it continue indefinitely. The writing is so well done, making it easy to hang on to every word. I can visualize it all playing out in my mind as if I were there with them, fighting by their side.

Survive the Turmoil kept me on my toes with its many twists and turns that captivated my attention from the first page to the last. Once I start reading stories like this, I can’t seem to stop until I reach the last page, and even then, it lingers long after I’ve closed the book.

I highly recommend Survive the Turmoil to all fans of dystopian and post-apocalyptic stories! Grab a copy of Survive the Turmoil today!
