✫✫ 4.5 Stars ✫✫
Another great book in this series. I feel like I need start turning off the book before I crawl into bed because last night was the 3rd night in a row I was awake hours past my bedtime because I couldn't stop listening. This book switches between all of the POV's from the other books, I enjoy that because we get to follow along the timeline with all of the main characters. This one felt even more like a Thriller and when it ended I was sad I couldn't just start book 1 immediately but I will be starting ASAP. It seems that Noah's town is starting to divide and people are about to start rebelling against the "leaders". It's going to be great I just know it ;)
The narration was perfect as always in this series!

Stone is trying too hard to be politically correct
I love the story and the characters. I particularly like Liam and Hannah. The reason I am taking away stars from Overall is Kyla Stones determination to label every character as White, Caucasian, Black, Afro American, Hispanic, Chinese, Vietnamese, etc. She makes sure she identifies the characters by ethnicity or race. This aggravates me to the core. It is distracting and does not add anything to the story. Identity politics is wrong and divisive. All of these people are supposed to be Americans and that is the only designation that is needed. I believe Stone is trying her best to be extremely politically correct, She has written in and pointed out every ethnicity/race imaginable as characters in this series. Every character is labeled the very moment they come into the story line. It is annoying!!! Kyla Stone is a good writer and story teller and she should stick to that and forget the politics. I will finish this series because I do like the characters and the story, but I will not ever read or listen to another book by Kyla Stone after this. She has turned me off completely with her division of Americans by labeling them by other nationalities.

Jesus Christ is not a cuss word ,
what is sad is that I was enjoying this book, but the name of our Lord was used over and over as a curse word, how did this make it onto the christian fiction list., had to stop reading it.

Don't bother
Depressing books. I could not even finish the series, it was so bad. It was a horrible story line and even worse character development. I really tried to finish it, but every time I would go back to listen, I kept thinking to myself I would rather have a tooth drilled than listen to another page in this book. I am absolutely shocked the reviews are so high.

Action-Packed Third Book of Series
This third book of Kyla Stone's 'Edge of Collapse' series combines the POV's from books 1 & 2 into the most action-packed and feels-filled chapter of her post-apocalyptic saga so far. I listened to this installment courtesy of a free review copy that I requested myself. Now, having listened to it, I'm posting a voluntary review.
This review has vague spoilers for the entire series to this point. Read/listen to Books 1 & 2. If you are a post-apocalypse fan, I don't think you'll be disappointed.
'Edge of Darkness' follows Liam and Hannah as they continue to make their way to Fall Creek. Meanwhile, Noah and Quinn are still figuring out the new post-apocalyptic landscape of their small town. Hannah and Liam not only have to worry about the cold weather and Pike catching up to them, but also the impending birth of her baby. Quinn and Noah are dealing with the new situations of militia troops 'protecting' the town and the hardship of keeping the residents fed, warm and healthy.
Author Stone has a great ability to keep a wonderfully heightened sense of anxiety for the reader. It's demonstrated in this book with its non-stop action and sense of dread infused throughout. The suspense in this installment of the saga had me biting my nails constantly.
What I love best abut this series is Kyla Stone's characterizations and interactions between characters. Liam and Hannah discuss what it means to be good or bad and think about where they themselves fall on that line. The reader feels the love that is building between them. Quinn is also realizing her capacity to love others, after believing herself incapable of that emotion. Her growing relationship with Milo is a high point of the series. Noah brings out frustration in a reader from his blind loyalty to what appear to be the bad guys (and women). Readers get the gamut with Ms Stone's deft hand at writing these characters. She makes them real.
I can't imaging anyone else as narrator for this series. Stacy Glemboski's interpretation of Stone's words brilliantly brings out the realism in this series.
Highly recommended.

Darkness
Another awesome installment in a great series! I love the characters and the storyline. In this book, she begins to bring the characters from the first two books more closely together. Hannah, Liam and Ghost are still on the run from Pike and Quinn, Noah and Milo are just trying to survive back in Fall Creek.
Kyla Stone has created likeable (or hateable) characters that you can relate to and cheer for (or against!) You will feel all of the emotions: fear/terror, hatred, love, and hopelessness. I found myself wondering how I would react if I were living through a post-apocalyptic world. What happens when the lines between right and wrong are blurred? How far would you go to keep your family safe?
There is also enough humor in the book to keep it from being a downer. I love the dialogue between Quinn and her Grandmother and could almost picture some scenes in my mind.
Ms. Stone does an amazing job in describing medical issues and survival tips and has obviously done a lot of research in order to make her books more realistic. As a Medical professional, I appreciate the amount of time she has obviously spent in making the book truthful. The scenes with the Veterinarian were spot-on and her description of Hannah's pregnancy were perfect.
The narrator, Stacey Glemboski, does a wonderful job and adds a lot to my enjoyment of this audiobook. I can't think of a better person to do the narration.
I can't wait to continue this series and see what happens next! It is definitely nonstop action and is a great way to spend a few hours.

Kyler stone has another winner
This is the second series I have read by Callister. With every volume she tops her last. Her characters are incredibly realistic no superheroes here just humans with the determination in the drive to survive. The action is nonstop keeping the reader on the edge of their seat. The way she shifts between characters is skillful and smooth.I look forward to reading the next book in the series I can’t wait for her to write another such serious.

Excitement in every chapter
This is a real page turner. Great story, enhanced by the production. You never wonder who is talking, the setting, or whether it is present or past.

Sometimes good, sometimes aggravating
I’m giving the seven book series 4 stars because I listened to all seven books. Individually, I’d go as high as three, maybe three and a half stars. I didn’t like the first book in the series because there wasn’t an ending. It just stops and we the listener are just expected to start Book 2. A lot of Amazon indie authors do this as a way of beating the Amazon algorithm. Some writers do it well. Some don’t. Kyla Stone doesn’t do it well. But, the story, if you stick with it, will keep you going. I liked the little nuggets of prepper wisdom that pop up here and there. I appreciate the research she must have done however, there are a number of “mechanical” issues in the series that wrecked it for me. Without writing in spoilers, these are some of the problems I had with her series. Electronic locks. When the power dies, electronic locks don’t magically fail open. Honestly, do you think the manufacturers haven’t considered the possibility of a power failure? Without that happening in the story, the whole series fails. Sat phones. My personal pet peeve. I’ve seen this repeated over and over in books and movies. Sat phones are not super fancy cell phones. They don’t work indoors. I know. I carried one for two years in Iraq. Just like your Sirius/XM radio in your car shuts off when you go in a parking garage. Same technology. Besides, why were they supposed to be immune to the EMP? Biodiesel. You can’t make biodiesel from a moonshine still. Different process entirely. Solar panels. To power a “mansion” like she does in the story you would need a couple of acres of solar panels per house, all clear of ice and snow. You would also need an enormous battery bank per house which isn’t mentioned in the story. For that matter, the conversion of solar energy to a charge controller then reconverting all those DC volts into AC household voltage requires a lot of electronic gizmos, all of which would fry in the EMP. Speaking of the EMP, I didn’t get the impression that the author knew why electronics fail after an EMP. Only that they did. Soldiers. Every soldier in the series carries an M4. Not a single M16 in the whole 7 book series. Beretta’s are the sidearms issued to US troops. Not glocks. Faraday cages. They only work when they are 100% contained and insulated. Run a power cord out of a Faraday cage, you got nothing. Cars. There is some debate about whether an EMP would disable a modern car or not. No real way to test the theory. I tend to think it would but I also think the age of the car is immaterial because those tiny copper windings in all starters and alternators would melt their insulation and that’s that. Old or new, they’re dead. Maybe. Since we don’t really know, I’ll chalk that one up to the writer’s prerogative.
The series was ok. It wasn’t great. Personally, if the power to everything failed this instant, I don’t think America would go to hell in a hand basket in a single week. Just my opinion. Again, writer’s prerogative.

Things are About to Get Crazy...er
This has been the only post-apocalyptic series to grab my attention in a long time. I love the strength and tenacity of the characters. I love that Hannah and her husband Noah are both pining for each other even though she's been missing (and presumed dead) for 5 years. I love that Noah is such an amazing father to their son. I also love that Liam has put his plans on hold and risked his life repeatedly for a very pregnant woman he didn't know until Black Christmas. His life would have been much simpler if he'd just walked away from her in that snowy forest.
These characters and others make this a series I want to come back to. The times are as bleak as they can be. But it's in the dark that a person's true character comes out. Some that seemed good, aren't. But these guys, this core group of people who are working their way toward each other, although they don't all know it, are the ones that shine a light in the darkness. These are the good guys that give us hope.
The author does a tremendous job of balancing the dark with the light. Of offering hope, joy, comfort, and even peace in a world that seems to have none of those commodities left to offer. It's this balance that allows such a dark subject to be so approachable. These good- but not perfect- people, who are intelligent, focused and driven continue to show that the good in people did not die with all the electronics.
The characters. The storyline. The pace. The heart. These are the things that keep me coming back to this series.
