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.

MY THOUGHTS
This story takes place in the small, fictional West Texas town of Shadow Ridge. I'm a native West Texan, so it was cool to read a story that's set around here. Although, it did get kinda scary at times because everything felt so realistic. I'd get so into the story sometimes that I'd forget it was fiction, lol. I kept having to check and make sure that I still had electricity. All in all, this was a great story that I highly recommend. I can't wait for the next one.
FOUR STARS
You know I love a good post apocalyptic read, and I like the sound of this one, with the grid going down and law enforcement having to deal with this new reality. Glad you reviewed this one, Ashley!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lark! It was really interesting to see how something like this might affect law enforcement. I can't believe I never wondered about that before.
