Power's Out (Troubled Times #2) by Rachel Meehan - BR&R - Starting October 4th 2015

[Sarah Elizabeth]

“You could almost imagine everything was like before,” said Nairne, staring at the distant lights. “But it’s just an illusion, a few people hanging on to something that’s already dead.”
“You don’t think we can get it all back then?” Ronnie asked.
“No, the old way is gone, just wait until the lights go out for good. My dad always said once the power goes out mankind will go back to the caves.”
The power is failing, society is losing the last vestiges of order and the world is becoming a dangerous place. Nairne has been searching for a new home, somewhere people want to try and build a better future. Nairne thinks she has found it, a place where she can settle and be safe. A place where she can build a better future.
But he’s coming for her. From a past she wanted to leave behind and he’s seeking retribution.

Thanks for reading and reviewing - impressed at how quickly the two of you read!
Thanks

Chapter 4: (view spoiler)[ This one is not grabbing my attention as much as the first one. I hope it gets better as the story progresses. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Sarah wrote: "chapter 5 [spoilers removed]"

I thought so too. So rude.

[Sharon]

Chapter 10: (view spoiler)[ Still can't seem to get into this story. I really enjoyed the first one, so I hope it gets better. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Sarah wrote: "chapter 18 [spoilers removed]"

I think so too.

[Sharon]

Ending Thoughts: (view spoiler)[ It was still good, but it was not up to par with the first book. It was hard to get into. I hope the third book is more like the first book. This is a cool series. (hide spoiler)]

Hi Sharon
Thanks for reading and reviewing - greatly appreciated. Rachel

[Amanda]

Finished. I've been taking notes so I will put them up tomorrow along with a review. I'm very impressed with this novel and how much stronger and cohesive this one was compared to the first one! Both were good but this one was nigh on great!

[Amanda]

Sarah wrote: "chapter 5 [spoilers removed]"


(view spoiler)[ I was disappointed at the flagrant prejudice shown. I wanted Jenny to get walloped! (hide spoiler)]

[Amanda]

I, for one, saw a lot more growth in the writing style in this novel from the first and the writing seemed much stronger. I liked this one a lot more than the first!
