In the Darkness of a Post-Apocalyptic World, Can Light Prevail?

Six months ago, a devastating EMP blast destroyed the world's infrastructure, leaving Alex Glover with no choice but to begin a new survivalist lifestyle in order to protect his family at the end of the world.

But surviving in this new, treacherous post-apocalyptic world is far from easy. A group of bandits arrive at Alex's doorstep demanding Alex's people give up their home. Chaos unfolds. Disaster strikes. And before he knows it, Alex is forced onto a dangerous journey of revenge in a world where people are willing to do anything in order to survive.

A journey that might well be his last...

With complex characters, rapid pacing and unexpected twists and turns, When Darkness Falls is the second book in a new EMP survival series from Ryan Casey, and is sure to delight fans of the genre.

Just like in book 1, book 2 was a page turner. Thoroughly enjoyed the read. Looking forward to reading book 3.

Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2018
Alex has everything going for him and his family and friends. A place to call home. And the land that is sustainable. They have a small garden and the few animals that some farmer, who must of left. No-one expected their lives to be destroyed at this point. Alex is already at the edge, but what happens next might just push him all the way over.
Ryan Casey has a vivid imagination and has you looking thru the eyes of the characters. And thinking like them too.

2.0 out of 5 stars There are better PA books out there.
Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2018
Not a very good series. After 1 1/2 books I had no connection with any of the major characters. The lead character is a semi-prepper but he obviously learned nothing from his readings as he is constantly jack-up by all the bad guys. He moves into a new house instead of rebuilding his own mini-farm. He takes no precautions nor does he attempt to fortify his new house. And then his son is killed by some of the bad guys while all the inhabitants of the house are asleep in their beds. Has he never thought about posting a watch after all the times the bad guys have beat the crap out of him. And twice all of his animals are slaughtered - none are butchered or herded away - just slaughtered. Given the absence of foodstuffs you would think that a nice rib roast or t-bone steak would be on the bad guys menu; but no, they just kill all the animals. Another problem is the book is too wordy. Alex takes pages to make a decision even simple ones.

I gave it two stars instead of one because it was fairly well written with very few grammar or spelling errors. I happened to pull up another of this writer's series in error and started reading towards the end. I did not notice that it was an entirely different series until I had read through several pages. I finally noticed that there were new characters I had not encountered in the original book. This doesn't bode well for other series if they are all so similar in plot that you can't tell one from another - just different characters. Oh well there are plenty more PA books out there that need reading hopefully better than these by Mr. Casey.

1.0 out of 5 stars There's a first time for everything....
Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2018
I very rarely quit reading a series of books before I've read all of the installments, but this is the exception! I was sorta kinda about whether or not I liked Alex, the male protagonist...I know for sure now that I find him despicable! I usually try to give a book, or series of books, a fair chance which is why I finished the second book...but enough already! I don't like Alex or his brood mare wife. A couple of the secondary characters were potentially interesting, but (close your eyes...spoiler alert!) they get killed or shunted off somewhere, so...
I think I detect a hint of mysogeny here, but I could be wrong.
I love dystopian fiction, but there isn't much about survival here...more just plain, old-fashioned revenge/vengeance.
Seriously...I wouldn't bother...good thing these were "free" reads through Kindle Unlimited or I'd be really pissed!

I’ve enjoyed Ryan Casey’s EMP series, as well as—the entire Dead Days series (from book 1 to book 9) and of course Dead Days companion series, the Chloe series (book 1-3). I can’t wait till Dead Days-book 10 is available in Canada. I love Casey’s imagination and ability to draw the reader into his fictional worlds. Plus a good dystopian thriller is always hard to put down.

2.0 out of 5 stars Great story idea but a real struggle to get through. Disappointing

Struggling to get into this storyline still. I am an avid fan of this genre however, this book does not make me want to pick up and keep reading as has always happened with other stories/writers. The main character is infuriating and difficult to empathise with (which isn't a problem) and keeps on making the same errors over and over. This was a real push of fortitude (and not wanting to waste the money spent on purchasing this book) to keep on until the end of the book. If I read book 3 it is only out of fiscal sensibility and not enjoyment.

Masses of action (fruitless endeavours by the protagonist) but a bit "James Bond" in that the action is bam, bam, bam with no backstory, narrative or descriptive to allow the book to set seed in the imagination. The action is also really random with damburst floods and hidden arms caches that just turn up in the storyline out of nowhere!!
