This was a quick and suspenseful read, with a lot of good, useful information for any situation that could be considered an extended emergency.  I have read it twice now, with the second time being to take notes and update my preparedness plan.  I highly recommend this book for anyone looking for ideas for preparing for any type of disaster and I can't wait for (hopefully) the next book in a wonderful (hopefully) series.

A great read by a new young and upcoming author! I was drawn quickly into the story with the trappings of my present reality falling away quietly unnoticed behind me. A real page turner -- more please!

I received a free pre-release electronic copy in exchange for an unbiased review.
This author has rapidly become one of my short list authors.  Great plot, awesome story line, dialogue, and action.  If you haven't started it yet, what are you waiting for?

What a find this book was! A great new author....Amanda Uhl....delivers a terrific read with a sensational cast of characters. A wonderful lead character, Grace Woznisky, leads us on an unpredictable journey that I found irresistible.

This is apparently the first in a series and I am now eagerly looking forward to Amanda's next book.

If you enjoy discovering new authors, love mystery and suspense, and enjoy questioning yourself about what you think is going on and why, this is a great read.  The author writes with a crisp style that delivers character driven plot and fully fleshed out characters.  The plot is intense and interesting, and there are enough twists and turns to keep it interesting without bordering on the ridiculous to maintain suspense.  Well done debut novel, a truly enjoyable read.  Looking forward to more by this author.

I purposely try to review these types of novels with just overall impressions, because I really dislike reading reviews that give a lot of the storyline away.  I personally enjoy diving in with no preconceived notions.

A great, quick read. Don't know what compelled me to purchase this book. But I now have a new author that I look forward to reading. Thank you Joshua Graham.

New author, big talent.  This book is set in the period when it was still unclear which entity would be governing where and how.  Chaotic, frightening times.  The author's descriptions of life in a  village in the Ukraine and the steppes and forests in the winter are superb. The characters might not be as fully-drawn as a reader might want, but the plotting, atmosphere, sense of dread, the total immersion into the cold and snow---all that is terrific.  I will read his next one immediately, I am sure.
