Fault lines, Aftermath by Harley Tate

This is the third book in the series that sees Clint and Miki trying to find Daphne after an earthquake followed by a tsunami that wreaks havoc displacing families, friends and devastating homes.

Aftermath is the conclusion of an easily manageable three book series. All the way through it was full of action and heart stopping moments.

The story built in chapters seeing things from each of three main characters point of view as they faced constant adversity.

Mika and her Dad, Clint set out to find her mum, Daphne, whom Clint had split up from, but still loves. Aftermath continues their struggle to cross the devastation to reach the area where Daphne had been working.

Daphne on the other hand, escaped her prison of a car park and set off swimming until she is plucked from sea by an elderly seafarer who had set off in his small boat to rescue stranded people.

Good and bad folk cross their paths, as crowds of frightened, desperate people try to escape the area. The trio take risks and walk for hours trying to reach help, and all the time hoping to find each other.

There is a lot of edge of your seat, nail biting action. This made it all the more exciting because I listened to the audio book and it had three narrators. As I closed my eyes to listen, it was like watching a block buster film in my head.

To conclude, I loved it and highly recommend to readers who love high octane adventures.

As the others in the series, I give it a well deserved five stars.

Blurb

Destruction at every turn. Chaos on the streets. A family on the brink of giving up.

Five days after a megaquake and tsunami ravaged the Pacific Northwest, Mika and her father are still on the hunt for her mother. After almost dying from an electric shock in the flood waters, Mika’s barely hanging on. Her father debates calling off the search, but Mika’s insistent–they have to find her mother. With their hopes pinned on a FEMA refugee facility miles away from the ravaged coast, the trek will be anything but easy.

Daphne survived a megaquake, escaped flood waters rushing through the city, and walked away from a horrific bus crash. With confirmation her family is alive and searching for her at a refugee facility, she’s determined to reach them. But the facility isn’t all its cracked up to be and Daphne will face her greatest obstacles yet in the fight to find her family.

It’s a race against time through ravaged city streets, unfriendly locals, and dense forest passes. The odds are stacked against the Redshaws, but their unrelenting hope for a united family drives them on.

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