Publisher Description

Book Overview

Six friends meet in an isolated mountain town in Northern Idaho to commemorate the fifth anniversary of a close friend's suicide. A week of hiking, spending time in nature, and a bittersweet reunion soon takes a sinister turn as the friends find themselves fighting for their lives and struggling to survive.

A seemingly tranquil community bombarded by late spring storms becomes a trap filled with monsters and threats everywhere they turn. Terrifying secrets are revealed, and the survivors are left to wonder what will be left of the world outside if they can find a way to come through the gauntlet alive.

Praise for Innocence Ends

"Nikolas Robinson beckons us to ground zero, where survival is the exception against an infected populace rapidly advancing in number and slaughter. Innocence Ends is a brutal, bloody, and all-too-human view of the last days. This is the way the world ends...not with a bang but a bludgeon." - Ryan Harding, author of Transcendental Mutilation

"Robinson has grown with each release, proving he's a force to be reckoned with. This polished re-release of INNOCENCE ENDS shows how far he's come, and where he's capable of going. The only thing holding him back is an actual apocalypse!" - Thomas R Clark, author of Bella's Boys and SummerHome

"Nikolas Robinson is one of indie horror's best kept secrets." - Lucas Mangum, Splatterpunk Award-nominated author of Barn Door to Hell and Saint Sadist

“I could not put this book down!! “Innocence Ends” is a thrilling novel with skillful character development and storytelling. Nikolas P. Robinson masterfully crafts a story that keeps you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. The dynamic and diverse group of friends facing unimaginable horrors adds depth to the narrative, while the big twist delivers an unexpected punch that will leave readers wanting more. A must-read for fans of action-packed zombie horror with a psychological twist!! Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me an early copy in exchange for an honest review.”

“The zombie apocalypse tale has been told many times, and in many different ways. Nikolas Robinson still found a way to tell a tension-filled story about zombies in a way that is fresh, scary, and original. The story revolves around a group of 30 somethings that have been friends since childhood. Some have remained closer than others, but they have all stayed in touch since going their separate ways after high school and college. On the anniversary of one of their own dying by his own hands, the group heads to the remote home of scientist Gale in a secluded part of Idaho. Their relaxing week in the isolated wilderness around Gale's home is cut short by a severe storm. The sudden influx of rain floods the only road into and out of the small town. That's when all hell breaks loose, and the friends are forced into survival mode. No help is coming, and not only are there monsters on the hunt, the townspeople themselves don't seem to want the outsiders to stay alive, either. Filled with action and suspense, Innocence Ends was an excellent introduction to the work of Nikolas Robinson for me. I really enjoyed his style, and had a very hard time putting this one down once it got ramped up. I was not 100% pleased with the ending, simply because I was left with many questions. If Nikolas would be so kind as to give me a sequel, that would be phenomenal. He left it wide open for this to be possible! Highly recommend for readers that love apocalyptic stories, zombies, tales of friendship, and survival tales!”
