Icehaven

Sum of All Tears, Book 1

By: Kim Cresswell

Narrated by: Jennifer Swanepoel

They said it wouldn't happen.

Everything would be better.

They were wrong.

After a climate-change experiment goes terribly wrong, August Madison finds herself resurrected in a frozen wasteland.

With most of the world's population and food sources annihilated, depraved nomadic gangs patrol the lawless landscape as outlasters claw for survival.

Amid the chaos, Graysen Marx, iron-fisted leader of the domed settlement, Liberty, emerges from the catastrophic event with his own agenda.

When August crosses his path, he sees an opportunity he must exploit.

She sees an evil she must destroy.

Pretty Decent Read

Icehaven, Sum of All Tears. .
Unique storyline. Well written and quite fast paced. Lots of action and Intrigue to keep your attention up until the final page.
The narration moves the story along nicely. And is very easy listening.
I received a free copy of this audio book at my own request and voluntarily leave this review.

very entertaining

This book has pretty much everything you can think of. I was really caught off guard by a few things, gross. lol Wouldn't have thought the author would go there but she did and wow. Narration was great, she did a fantastic job bringing everyone to life and giving them personality. This book is worth thrre time and money.

Icehaven

After her fathers climate change experiment goes very wrong August finds herself resurrected in a harsh winter land, unsure of how much time has pasted and if any of her family has survived or not. Things go from bleak to worse for August and her new friends when the the people that have been helping them make them move to the domed settlement of Liberty and do what they say, but when people are separated from each other and not allowed to talk, August knows something is wrong and with the help of a long time family friend that is now in the guards they vow to find out what it is.

This book moves fast and never slows down, the action and suspense are non stop and will keep you on your toes. I loved this book and how the characters developed and interacted, it goes well with the disaster they have been thrown into. Narrator Jennifer Swanepoel does a wonderful job on the audio version, she made me believe I was there in the story with August and the others sneaking around and getting ready to move against the old guards, Graysen, and Graysen's agenda. This is a awesome book and I can't wait for more.

Great Book

I would recommend this book to anyone. The narrator done a great job telling the story. Looking forward to listening to the next book by this author.

Gripping survival story

I thoroughly enjoyed trying to puzzle out how the characters were going to make it through the book. I loved the Grayson Marx characters complexity, and that the hope for survival is in the hands of our heroine. August is inquisitive and develops nicely throughout the book. I liked that her story unfolds piece by piece and isn’t just thrown at you in the first chapter. We learn about her with her throughout the entire story. The action is intense! It reminded me a bit of a Mad Max feel mixed with the book of Eli, but I’m wary of comparing the two because there are a lot of differences in the plot and storyline. The novel also had some great themes about caring for the earth and humanity as a whole. If you enjoy action/dystopian writing then this is a great book for you. I was given this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.
