    About this audiobook

    "None of this matters, and we're all going to die."

    With only three days left until the predicted apocalypse, the small town of Franklin Springs, Georgia, has become a wasteland of abandoned cars, abandoned homes, abandoned businesses, and abandoned people. People like Rainbow Williams. Rain isn't afraid of dying. In fact, she's looking forward to it. If she can just outrun her pain until April 23, she'll never have to feel it at all.

    "Supplies. Shelter. Self-defense."

    Wes Parker has survived every horrible thing this life has thrown at him with nothing more than his resourcefulness and disarming good looks. Why should the end of the world be any different? All he needs are some basic supplies, shelter, and a sucker willing to help him out, which is exactly what he finds when he returns to his hometown of Franklin Springs.

    As society crumbles, dangers mount, and secrets refuse to stay buried, two lost souls are thrust together in a twist of fate - one who will do anything to survive and one who can't wait to die. Perhaps, together, they can learn how to live. Before their time runs out.

    Contains mature themes.

      Horrible male narrator, not great writting either. Couldn't bring myself to like either main character by a few chapters in so gave up. Maybe it gets better but doesn't seem likely.
    • 1/5
      Couldn't make it past the first two chapters. Horrible, cliche writing.
    • 4/5
      Pretty good story. Lots of action. Some cliches but I kept wondering what was going to happen. I did wish that Wes didn't have to is the F bomb in every sentence. That was overkill. That and all the names he called her in his head would just irritate me. But he definitely fell hard and once he let it show its sweet . Kinda crazy sweet.
    • 2/5
      This seemed amazed until it wasn’t! Too angsty took forever to make sense and the narrators voice is just annoying!
