Fault Lines, Deluge by Harley Tate

An Earthquake and a Tsunami in the second instalment of the series.

I loved this book. It’s easy to read, and it’s a lot of edge of your seat, nail biting action!

This time I bought the paperback and on looking at my review of the last book where the formatting was off putting, this one was perfect.

We start the story with Daphne stuck in a multi story car park, standing on the roof of a vehicle. She is surrounded by the sea after the tsunami hits the city. Mika, her daughter is stuck on the side of a mountain, the only one left out of a mini bus of school girls and teachers. Clint, her father, and Daphne’s ex, is frantically searching for his daughter, hoping she is still alive.

As the book progresses, Clint and Mika set off for Seattle in search of Daphne. They don’t know if she survived. The chapters are dedicated to each of their points of view. Daphne was the one who held my attention the most. Her fight to get off the car park and out of the water is a desperate one.

Right at the very end of the book, the three of them are about to be reunited. I can’t wait to start the next book.

What I like best is that each story is less than 250 pages, which suits me. It’s also in Kindle Unlimited. I give this:

Blurb

Entire towns destroyed. Massive cities underwater. A family desperate to find each other.

Two days after a megaquake and tsunami combine to wreak havoc on the Pacific Northwest, Clint and his daughter are together at last. Instead of retreating to safety, they’re on a one-way mission into the heart of the disaster. Chaos on the streets, impassable routes, and the worst of human nature combine to thwart them at every turn. But Mika’s mom is missing, and they won’t stop until they find her.

Daphne stares out at the water engulfing the financial district, body shivering from the cold, stomach hollow from thirst and hunger. With no food or shelter, she’s forced to attempt an escape. She might drown before she even leaves the parking deck, but she doesn’t have a choice. This time, the only way out is through.

Deluge is book two in the Fault Lines series, an apocalyptic disaster thriller series following ordinary people struggling to survive when a megaquake plunges the Pacific Northwest into chaos.
