Surviving the End: The Complete Series
Grace Hamilton - 2020
Even before becoming a husband and father, safety had been Shane McDonald’s priority for most of his forty-five years. As a nuclear engineer, it’s his responsibility to keep the Sequoyah Nuclear Plant functioning at optimum levels to avoid what protesters fear most—a meltdown. But when a coronal mass ejection from the sun wipes out power across the globe, stopping a nuclear chain reaction is no longer his primary concern. Fallen World Family is all that matters when friend becomes foe—and the stakes are survival. The world has become a dangerous place for Shane McDonald and his family since the solar storm wiped out the power grid. Tensions flare when it grows clear the dire situation will be prolonged and most are ill-prepared. Even the friendly small town of his prepper mother-in-law has drawn unwanted attention as word gets around about sharing their supply stores. And strangers begin to infiltrate the once peaceful Georgia community. All Shane can think about is where his wife and son ended up in all the chaos as the hours stretch into days since they last communicated. Jodi is far too trusting a soul, her desire to help the downtrodden a dangerous commodity among desperate and increasingly hostile citizens. New World They’ll protect what’s theirs—or die trying. The McDonald clan have learned their lessons the hard way these last months. Shane and Jodi finally realize they must keep their reunited family close and protect their own above all others to survive in this new post-apocalyptic reality. The repairs on the home are complete, solar panels installed, and the now operational pump means they won’t have to continue collecting rainwater for the foreseeable future. But it’s no longer just outsiders wreaking havoc on the small Georgia town, as unprepared townsfolk learn of their hard-earned stores—and threaten to take their prepper supplies by force.

Demented Sons: Volume One
Kristine Allen - 2020
See where it all started! Meet Colton, Mason, Erik, and Kayde--also known as Reaper, Hollywood, Hacker, and Joker. Four sexy veterans who love as hard as they ride. COLTON’S SALVATION (Book One) The army taught me to kill. Every flex of hard earned muscle was for my country. I didn't need shit else except my rifle, my brothers, and the enemy. I was born to fight. Then the military cut me loose. Civilian life. Two words dirtier than the bloodshed downrange. I didn’t want my freedom. I wanted my goddamn purpose back. I wanted my government issued rifle in my hands. I wanted to taste the grit of foreign soil. I wanted to fight until I drew my last breath... Then she crossed in front of my path—carrying our child. MASON’S RESOLUTION (Book Two) I loved the army. Call me crazy, but I ate, breathed, and lived for combat. I’d have my brothers’ backs until the day we died. I was loyal to the core. I sure as hell didn’t plan on having it taken from me—but sometimes sh*t happens. Expendable. That’s what I was to the army. A broken soldier, cast to the side. I needed the adrenaline rush of hitting the drop zone. I needed my rifle and the chaos of battle. I needed my goddamn honor back…The Demented Sons stepped in and gave me my reason to live. Then she showed up and turned my world upside down. ERIK’S ABSOLUTION (Book Three) I joined the Marine Corps to escape. Betrayal left a bitter taste in my mouth and I didn’t care if I made it back alive. Too bad I lived when those around me died. What the actual f*ck… I was no goddamn hero—no matter what that purple medal said. Every day I was drowning. Until the Demented Sons found me. They forced me to fight, or die trying. They showed me they had my back. But I sure as hell would never need anyone again. Then she strutted on stage and I was a goner. KAYDE’S TEMPTATION (Book Four) The Marine Corps made me ruthless. Able to kill a man without batting an eye—I was a cold, heartless bastard. I proved it by sleeping with my best friend’s wife the night of his funeral. Then I walked out the door. She’d always been my greatest weakness and my biggest temptation, but she deserved better than me. After taking one too many bullets, I was discharged from the Corps. I moved across the country and the Demented Sons became my family. I vowed to never see her again. Then she begged me to help her disappear.
