A gripping, post-apocalyptic thriller that gets right into the action and doesn't let up. Dax serves as an engaging anti-hero and watching him and his group navigate apocalyptic New Orleans kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. I wish more explanation about how The Blackout happened and the unanticipated paranormal threat were offered in this book, but I'm sure it will be in the rest of the series. Overall, a fun and quick read.

I liked the premise of the book, it reminds me a lot of the beginning of The Strain mixed with The Purge in some ways. That lawless feel of no system in place and people left to their own devices. The organization of the antagonist gangs and their need to produce drugs made me wonder how long the black out has been, that reference point only gets mentioned once and I think it tripped me up later in the book. Overall, great writing and dialog from the authors and a start to a promising series.
