*** Goodreads First Reads ***
My biggest problem with this book was its protagonist. Namely I was struggling to find the main character.
"Desolation" the sequel in the apocalyptic "Stone Age" series begins 10 days after an event that left Earth depleted of power, chaotic with dwindling food and water and lawless as people fight to survive. In Mexico with Maxwell (Max) Thompson held prisoner by the cartel and looking for a way to escape, the King family must find a balance between giving charity to those in need and protecting what they have.
I was given a copy of this book by the Author for an honest review.
Desolation is a great apocalyptic story.
"Desolation"

4 1/2 FANGS
I am an independent reviewer for 'Paranormal Romance and Authors That Rock'. I received this book from the author and from 'Paranormal Romance and Authors That Rock'.
Second. Ok in this series.
Liked it, had good plotting.
I LIKED THE FIRST BOOK BETTER BUT THIS IS STILL WORTH READING CAUSE IT TELLS YOU OF WHAT HAPPENED AFTER EVERYTHING HAPPENED IN THE FIRST BOOK. THIS IS BOOK TWO WITH STONE AGE BEING THE FIRST AND CICADA BEING THE THIRD.
Full disclosure: I received an e-book copy of Desolation as a winner in a Goodreads Apocalypse Whenever giveaway.
Until I got into apocalyptic literature in earnest several years ago, I never realized just how many potential modes of demise there could be.
I absolutely loved the first book in the series, Stone Age, as it was both very original and fast-paced, while sticking to what I generally love in dystopian fiction.
Desolation was no disappointment: I believe it's even faster-paced and more action packed.
