About this listen

From bestselling author Franklin Horton comes this new installment in his Borrowed World–Locker Nine–Mad Mick universe.

Willie grew up outside of Damascus, Virginia, and life was never easy for her. She’s a hard-as-nails single mom who struggles to make ends meet with little support and few opportunities. She’s also the community “rescue mom”, taking in young people with no other place to go. All this while dodging an ex-boyfriend turned stalker who also happens to be a cop.

Willie only made it to adulthood by being resilient. That toughness, combined with a series of odd jobs and side hustles, helps keep her unorthodox family afloat. All those qualities will be tested when a terror attack leaves the nation in an indefinite blackout, and life suddenly becomes even harder. On top of it, the conflict between Willie and her ex-boyfriend is escalating and this time neither of them is willing to back down.

Great story line

Enjoy Franklin books, this is no exception. I was a little worried when I didn't see Kevin as narrator, but she did an awesome performance, perfect fit.

Something borrowed something new

Man oh man. Glad to be back in this borrowed world. Only complaint is I wasn’t paying attention to time and it went by too fast. Loved it. Peace out Garby!

Franklin Horton is a master story teller!

This story was absolutely amazing. Another great addition to the universe he is creating. It only takes a few minutes to feel connected with the characters, and the world they live in. I have been a huge fan of Franklin Hortons work, but this is a whole new league. He has now told the story of this event from 4 entirely different backgrounds and situations. Each addition to this universe gets better. Do yourself a favor and listen to this book as well as the Locker 9 series, the Borrowed World Series and of course the Mad Mick!

Another Hit Series!

You know when you see someone who makes the difficult look easy? Franklin Horton make’s writing hit series look easy. I am so looking forward to the next set of books in this new series. I love Kevin Piece but Shannon McManus does a super star job in narrating this book which is a delight. 5 stars in all aspects - it’s a must in your audible library!!!
