After Today

The After Series, Book 1

By: Jacqueline Hayley

Narrated by: Stacey Glemboski, Greg Boudreaux

Get ready for the action of The Walking Dead, the friendship of Stand By Me, and the sizzle of Fifty Shades of Grey.

Can love survive an apocalypse?

After a deadly virus ravages Chicago and destroys Mackenzie Lyons’ carefully curated world, Mac escapes the devastation and horror to her childhood hometown with the help of her best friend’s little brother, Jake. But the small-minded community of Sanford isn’t exactly welcoming, and the virus isn’t the only battle brewing.

Jake Brent has secretly loved Mac forever, and while this isn’t the way he’d dreamed of their relationship beginning, with the uncertainty of the outbreak, he’ll take every opportunity with Mac he can, and hope—pray—for a better future.

But when Sanford’s misogynistic council torment the survivors with horrifying demands, and a lawless motorcycle gang threatens their fragile sanctuary, somehow Jake and Mackenzie must form new alliances and face down dangerous enemies in a struggle far worse than the outbreak.

Surviving the virus was one thing. Surviving humanity after is another.

crude and could have been good.

gave this a chance and totally regretting it. crude talk about throbbing penises, seriously, that's all the guy talks about. don't waste a credit. I'll be getting mine back because I couldn't get past 30 minutes of this awful writing. if I wanted listen to point, I wouldn't have selected post apocalyptic genre.

Wasn’t expecting a Nora Robert’s Pandemic book

Was hoping for a little more substance and less descriptive sex with my end-of-the-world pandemic story. What a waste of $$, made myself finish it just cause I paid for the dang thing.

Apocalypse takes a back seat to romance

Adjust your expectations. This is a romance book that happens to take place during apocalypse. It’s interesting and a bodice-ripper.

Was not expecting his throbbing cock on this story

Can't get past 2 chapters. Not interested in reading about throbbing cocks. I will be figuring out the return policy.

I knew almost in the very 1st chapter it wasn’t for me unfortunately

The female narrator was great but that is my only positive about this book. When I read / listen to fiction the last thing I want to hear is political preferences I could turn on the news for that. Fiction is supposed to be an escape not an authors chance to tell you how they feel about current politics. The main character wasn’t strong she was whiny and overly needy while constantly trying to prove she wasn’t. It’s too bad because the blurb made this book sound amazing but it’s a no for me.
