Hide and Seek

Apocalypse Parenting, Book 3

By: Erin Ampersand

Narrated by: Laurie Catherine Winkel

Events have shown Meghan that protecting her kids also means making sure they're ready to stand on their own when needed.

That's always been part of her parenting philosophy, but applying it to letting a six-year-old get up close and personal with vicious monsters? Questionable! Certainly not easy.

Meghan needs to figure out a way, however, and the aliens won't let her sit down and figure it out. While wrestling these personal dilemmas, she also needs to keep stabilizing her area, find a way to deal with these mysterious new Titans, and deal with some other nasty twists humanity's alien tormentors have in store.

love it.

this momma kicks ass. and the kids are adorable reminds me of mine sometimes.

Can't wait for book four

I love this series. I like that they started to introduce us to the aliens behind the scenes of this sick game and am hoping the next book expands on that a bit more. I would also love a storyline where we find out if her husband is still alive and how he's doing in Denver.

Looking forward to the next book.

Ohhhh man soooooooo fantastic! Plus Laurie Catherine Winkle is dynamite!

Ohhhh man soooooooo good! As a mom, Meghan tries to not only keep her family alive but to give her kids the power and tools that will help them transcend her own abilities. Which will allow them to not only survive but actually thrive in this new uncharted environment. I'm actually glad to find out that this book wasn't the end of a trilogy, but a continuation of a saga, because there is so much more story to tell! And I'm still waiting for Vince to arrive! To see for myself how the dynamics of the close knit family, friends, and yeah even the allies change with his arrival...
So yeah grab the audiobook and your seat and just enjoy this super litRPG. Ohhhh and yeah Laurie Catherine Winkle is dynamite!

Here's a couple of quotes that tickled me:

"Gavin would definitely be more interested in talking to a pile of purple spaghetti than a human being, if we could find one who understood human psychology well enough to help."

"Records? Music discs? Are those real? I thought they were just in Minecraft."

the story line is engaging and interesting

I really like these books. They are a totally unique flavor for the genre.

I am a parent of 3 and it was great to be included in a story

I wish the kids were more major characters, and I wish that anyone had thoughts above level 12. The characters are currently level 8 or so and know at 12 they cap their level. Respec doesn't seem to be a thing but it's plausible. And the contest lasts years, it's been 2 months. Someone has to recognize the characters are going to hit at least level 100 before they max their level.

Best of the series thus far

I greatly enjoyed this book! The world is really fleshing itself out nicely. I look forward to the next one!

I normally don’t review but…

Erin Ampersand’s books blow me away, something I haven’t felt in a long time.
Her stories are character driven and engaging.
The voice actor, Laurie Catherine Winkel, does an amazing job as well, embracing each character and bringing them to life.

she gets it.

the author very clearly has children and knows how they think and act! I love this series and see myself and my kids in every scene in this book.

Keeps me engaged

This series is my first journey into litRPG. I have thoroughly enjoyed the story, the unique struggle, and the overall direction. I feel that there will be far more mystery unraveled in future books. My only complaint is having to wait for the next release.

Man, i really just love this series!!!

I usually don't write reviews unless it is the first book or i have something negative to say, but i just can't get over how much i love this series. In a genre that is drowning in selfish OP sociopaths, having a MC with so much heart and caring for those around her, is almost world shatteringly unique. So if pumping up the reviews means that people stop shoveling out more D bag Overlords running around with their harem of sycophants i will write a review for every book that comes out. Sadly my calculations for how long it will take for the 4th book puts it around a year from now..... still better for another quality work than a simple cash grab like so many others are obviously doing.
Make no mistake Meghan is not Jesus or anything, she has her flaws, and a few kind of dumb moments that felt odd. Still this book overall is amazingly consistent with it's theme and the world building just gets more and more interesting. Even the trials which in any other Litrpg book would have started to feel repetitive and boring, still have lots of tension and stakes that are actually increasing rather than just becoming meaningless background noise, because you never know if Meghan will convince the other humans to stop...... it is just plain good writing!!!
So if all of you are as tired of the tyranny of the "anti-social" sociopath MC's as me, I encourage you to give this book and others like it your endorsement with reviews and ratings. Together we can fix this broken genre!!!!
