Things seem to be almost improving, but you can’t let the smooth taste fool you.

Too much improvement makes you expect things to be easier. They aren’t. Not everyone wants things to get better. Some people seem to be enjoying themselves a little too much.

Now, it’s time to try and bring some order from the chaos. To return things to a more civilized society. The world fell apart two years ago and now it’s time to try and put it back together, one small piece at the time.

Not all is well even among the Farm personnel. Fatigue and exhaustion are taking their toll on everyone, and sooner or later, that will cause problems no one wants or is ready for. As attitudes flare and patience crumbles, a tragedy is found and a relationship unravels.

Maybe there will be a cooling off period, because the Heat is definitely on.

I had 51 minutes to go in a 12 + hour book I was riveted to when I saw the recent addition to the Fire in the Sky series had been released. Well that other book could wait! There’s nothing like the post apocalyptic world of NC Reed!! Thanks for the continuation and I’ll anxiously await the next in the series!

🔥 About time!! 🔥

After such a long wait, I expected something much bigger in scope. Instead, this felt more like a short story or a side novel than the next major installment in the series. While the writing itself was good and there were enjoyable moments, the book ended just as it seemed to be building momentum. There was very little action, very little payoff, and not enough development to justify the wait between releases.

My biggest criticism is the decision to change narrators. After fourteen books with the same narrator, readers become attached not only to the characters but also to the voice telling the story. That narrator becomes part of the identity of the series. Switching narrators this late in the game was jarring and made the book feel disconnected from everything that came before it.

The new narrator may be talented, but the change completely altered the tone, pacing, and personality of the story. Characters did not sound the way longtime readers have come to expect, and the overall experience felt like listening to a different series altogether. For many fans, the original narrator was as important to the experience as the author.

Overall, the book was not bad. The writing quality was still there, and some moments reminded me why I enjoy this series. However, after waiting so long, I expected a full novel with meaningful progression, memorable action, and the familiar voice that carried the previous fourteen books. Instead, I finished feeling disappointed and wishing there had been more story and a return to the narrator who helped make the series what it is.

Its a short story

I liked this book very much. I liked how you developed Zach.I was glued to the book and plan to relisen to the book again. I had been missing your work and I am glad that you are back writing again.

Excellent as always

Disappointed with a different reader on this book, it was like this reader did not know the characters.
