Willie

Defeated Creek Series, Book One

By: Franklin Horton

Narrated by: Shannon McManus

From bestselling author Franklin Horton comes this new installment in his Borrowed World–Locker Nine–Mad Mick universe.

Willie grew up outside of Damascus, Virginia, and life was never easy for her. She’s a hard-as-nails single mom who struggles to make ends meet with little support and few opportunities. She’s also the community “rescue mom”, taking in young people with no other place to go. All this while dodging an ex-boyfriend turned stalker who also happens to be a cop.

Willie only made it to adulthood by being resilient. That toughness, combined with a series of odd jobs and side hustles, helps keep her unorthodox family afloat. All those qualities will be tested when a terror attack leaves the nation in an indefinite blackout, and life suddenly becomes even harder. On top of it, the conflict between Willie and her ex-boyfriend is escalating and this time neither of them is willing to back down.

Great story line

Enjoy Franklin books, this is no exception. I was a little worried when I didn't see Kevin as narrator, but she did an awesome performance, perfect fit.

Another great book by Horton

This was a great book. Very well written and I do like the narrator. I highly recommend this one

Good start to the series

I liked the idea of this one. She seems sooo tough! She has a great thought process and is a good MC. We are getting a nice assortment of characters. I do think “ What is wrong with Garbey?” But still a good character in this dystopian story. I look forward to more in this series. Narration is nicely done.

strong female lead without being insufferable.

this book is a strong beginning for a strong series. Just waiting onnthe next installment. hint, hint...
