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.

Good start to the series

I liked the idea of this one. She seems sooo tough! She has a great thought process and is a good MC. We are getting a nice assortment of characters. I do think “ What is wrong with Garbey?” But still a good character in this dystopian story. I look forward to more in this series. Narration is nicely done.

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!!!

Willie, the best of Franklin Horton books

I am looking forward to the next book, Willie is a worrier that fights for her children no matter the cost, and that is why I love her.
Her taste in Men is the worst but mama bear makes up for that.
