THE WORLD BURNED. THE SWAMP ROTTED. NOW IT'S HUNGRY.
Had Ellena Reed stayed home that weekend, she would've been nothing but ash on her kitchen floor when the warheads hit. Instead, she's wading through a Georgia swamp with her stepsister Button, breathing air that tastes like pennies while civilization burns.
With radioactive dust settling through the cypress trees like dirty snow, Ellena digs deep into instincts she never knew she had. At their campground, a man appears who claims to be an ex-SEAL. His stories check out too perfectly, as if someone wrote them in a manual, and when he talks about the bombs-about exactly where they fell and why-his voice takes on the precise, empty tone of a newscaster reading tomorrow's forecast. There's knowledge in those pauses between his words, the kind that makes Ellena's stomach drop like an elevator with cut cables.
But the radiation isn't their only problem. Something moves in the murk beyond their campfires, watching. The group's nerves fray, and secrets Ellena thought she buried are clawing their way up through the muck just when she needs solid ground beneath her feet.
In a world where trust is as rare as clean water, Fallout in Georgia is a raw-nerve thriller about survival, betrayal, and what remains of a person after everything goes up in flames.
Ayla Giovannetti (Reviewer) "The plot is interesting, and the characters feel well fleshed out. The tension feels real and the romance is very slow burn. You can feel what the main character feels and understand her motivation. I very much enjoyed the setting, the plot, the characters and the real feeling intensity."
