Edge of Madness

This is the second book in the Edge of Collapse series and it was better than the first and I'm so glad that I continued on. Four stars for this one!

This book tells the story of Noah and Milo who are the husband and son of Hannah from the first book in the series. When the EMP hits Noah and Milo are at the ski lodge for their annual Christmas trip, they find themselves stuck on the chair lifts with four others when things go dark. No one below realizes they are all stuck and they have to find a way to get down from the lifts that are 20ft in the air. From this event we meet Quinn a spunky, brave and intelligent teenager that becomes a part of Noah and Milo's life after the EMP his.

They are able to return to their home town only to find that things have turned to chaos. The locals are dependent on the local food pantry to provide shelter and food. Pastor Bishop runs the pantry and does his best to be fair to all. When Quinn's mother Octavia and her boyfriend decide they no longer want to abide by the rules so they can barter for their next score all hell breaks loose and a massacre ensues. I'm so glad the author split the two stories up for the story line/character set up. I'm looking forward to book three and then onward to finish the series!
