Fractured Days

After the End, Book 2

By: Grace Hamilton

Narrated by: Heather Jinmaku, Ron Butler, Brad Grusnick

A Post-Apocalyptic Thriller Filled with Fascinating Characters & Prepper Info

The old world is gone. And it’s not coming back…

It’s been eight days since the lights went out for good. Eight days of surviving chaos and the worst of humanity. Eight days for the truth to sink in: the survivors are on their own.

Shannon Grayson has escaped from the massive retail center where she was trapped, but a festering bullet wound in her shoulder requires medical care. In the aftermath of society’s collapse, doctors and medicine are hard to come by—and her infection is getting worse.

Meanwhile, a chance meeting with an old military brother brings Dennis Sullivan and his traveling companion Kim Nakamura to an unexpected sanctuary. The town of Humboldt seems to be a haven of law and order in a world that’s falling apart.

But as Dennis grapples with his addiction, Kim begins to suspect that Humboldt isn’t quite as safe as it appears. The town militia provides security and order. In return, they only ask for one thing—absolute control.

An Even Stronger Sequel With a Unique Storytelling Approach

This was such a second book in a series! I liked the first one, but I enjoyed this one even more. The story continues along the same overarching plotline, but this time from the perspectives of different characters, which made for a really interesting way to tell the story—I loved it.

The characters felt incredibly real in their actions and thought processes. They were flawed in a way that made them even better to read about. The book does end on a bit of a cliffhanger (though less dramatic than the first, more of a call to action), and I cannot wait to listen to book three.

As for the narration, the performances really conveyed the emotions of the story well. The female narrator’s voice wasn’t my favorite, but that was just a personal preference rather than an actual issue. Overall, this was such an engaging listen—I finished it in a single day!

Another great story by Grace Hamilton!

Loved this newest post apocalyptic story by Grace Hamilton. Characters are interesting and the story keeps me wanting more. Love the multi person narration!

Entertaining!

This is the second book in the After the End Series, a post-apocalyptic Thriller series. The story continues where the first book left off. The storyline is full of adventure, action, danger, and unpredictable twists and turns. The story ends with a cliffhanger. Heather Jinmaku, Ron Butler, and Brad Grusnick did a great job bringing these characters, and this story to life. Looking forward to listening to Final Days, the next book in the series.

Wow, this was amazing!

Fractured Days is book 2 in the After the End series by new-to-me author Grace Hamilton. I started this audiobook, then immediately bought book 1 because this series is Ah-Mazing! This book follows the journey of Shannon/Sarah and Bill, Dennis and Kim, and Lee and Andre to Memphis. Each pair are traveling separately, but for the same goal...the Black Rat MC compound.
The folks they meet, the danger they face, and heartbreaking loss fill this story with suspense and tests of friendship and loyalty. The narration was phenomenal. This trio really delivered their characters facing all the odds to get back to family. 5/5 stars!!

WOW!

Great storyline, very engaging, kept my attention thoughout. definitely has characters to love and hate equally

What Happens When We Let The World Goes To Hell

Boy oh boy this book is striking a little too close to home. With the way things are going for Kim and Dennis in Humboldt they can't get out soon enough. This book kept me on the edge of my seat and grinding my teeth. whats going to happen next I've gotta find out.
