About this listen

USA Today best-selling author Kennedy Layne concludes the Surviving Ashes series with an explosive story where the strength of love rises against the loss of humanity....

Van Overton had given years of service to his country. He'd paid his dues and he no longer needed to put his life on the line. He could live out the rest of his days doing what he did best - making money from inside the heart of the world's fastest paced financial system.

Allie James had wished time and again for something - anything - to happen just so she didn't have to open another eviction notice. She adored the hustle and bustle of the city, her cozy apartment in a good neighborhood, and the rugged looking man across the hall wasn't half bad to look at either. Regrettably, she'd been thinking more along the lines of winning the lottery than an approaching apocalypse.

Van should have known his luck wouldn't hold out, but a supervolcano eruption? It was a good thing his time in the military had taught him to be ready for just about anything. Unfortunately, his next-door neighbor didn't fit into anyone's idea of a survival plan. Allie was everything he tried to avoid in a woman, but she was definitely the one who had the ability to steal his heart.

Very enjoyable!

I have just spent the last 5 days listening to this series. just wonderful! sad its over. all men and women are fully drawn characters. I love love the action, romance and ingenious way Tank created his safe haven. here's hoping the next generation is coming up! I'd like to see where this author would take us when they can start living outside again.

Another Excellent Story!

These stories are too short! They are so good I want them to go on and on.

This is an excellent series and will keep to listen again and again.

What An Outstanding Series!

Kennedy Layne's Surviving Ashes series may just be the best series I've read this year! You won't want to miss the nonstop action and the surprises throughout the continuing plot. I highly recommend this entire series.

Wet blanket of ash to close the series

Book 4’s ending showed us Van and Allie’s arrival at Lost Summit. This book takes us back to the day before the Yellowstone eruption and repeats the same events already trod through in the previous four books. There’s lots of thoughts about how bad things are going to get. There’s lots of lectures on not trusting people and making necessary, ruthless choices. There’s lots of info dumps on what happens when volcanic ash covers the world, especially how it screws up cars and people’s lungs.

And, per usual, our white, trim MCs have rough backstories and no families, and the majority of this book (6 out of 7.5 hrs) is spent with just the two of them traveling from New York to Washington state.

There’s some minor adjustments, like showing us how the apocalypse starts in a big city.
Overall, however, the thin bandwidth made this feel rather redundant. Finally, there’s the cringey narration (especially in the shower scene, another recycled scene from previous couples) and his nickname for her as Princess. Color me underwhelmed.
