Publisher Description

From the bestselling authors of Yesterday's Gone, Karma Police, WhiteSpace, and more comes a new tense post-apocalyptic thriller that will leave you guessing until the very end.

 

On October 15, Elizabeth Coombs wakes up from one nightmare to find herself in another ...

 

Her husband and son have gone on a midnight fishing trip and the world outside has changed in subtle but unmistakable ways.

 

There's a freak storm, strange lights in the sky, sounds that don't seem right, and something lurking outside her rental cabin — something that should not be.

 

At first, Liz tries to tell herself it's all in her head, symptoms of her mental illness, symptoms she tries to treat with pills. The same pills her abusive husband derides her for taking.

 

Maybe she's just on edge because, in two days, she secretly plans to take her son and leave with her best friend, going far away where her husband can never hurt them again.

 

Everything will be okay, she tells herself.

 

But then her son returns home alone with no idea where his father is.

 

Just one problem, she knows her son is lying.

 

The boy KNOWS what happened. Why isn't he telling her?

 

October's Gone is a new stand-alone book written within the multi-dimensional, post-apocalyptic world of Yesterday's Gone. Read it today!

“This book was good but it was very confusing. The writers were insinuating that both the main character and her son are mentally ill. On with anxiety and one with did which I could see but going from the woman's perspective seemed risky, and disjointed. The problem was that they were saying at times it was anxiety and others it was real so you were left with the question what is really going on until the end then if your Luke me your like man I wish they would have said what exactly happened. I know the weather and apparently a lot of people are dead and there were monsters and everything but it left me wanting to have her wake up again and it was just a drug induced thing and they were safe living a new life away from everything. A very twisted read for sure. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.”
“The first thing I want to say is that I enjoyed this book. I need to say that before I sound like I'm complaining. At the time of this review there is no description or synopsis on Goodreads, only a cover photo. When I started this book I did not realize it was part of a series, and I prefer to avoid series. While this says it is a "stand alone" on Amazon or possibly a prequel to the series as per another reviewer I do feel like I would have better understood certain things if I was acquainted with the other books. I did like the characters, and did feel for the abused wife who as much as she wanted to protect her special needs son from his father, was mostly too weak to do anything about it, having suffered her own abuse as a child and thus continuing the cycle. The weird storm was creepy but I felt lost in trying to understand what the monsters and clicking were about. There is lots of suspense and tension filled moments in this well written story but I am not entirely convinced it is a stand alone. I received a complimentary copy for review.”
