Into the End - Book #1
Rachel Parker in Into the End can IDENTIFY fear, she can DEFINE it, but she doesn't feel it. Not anymore. Not since the tests.
Her inability to feel fear may be the reason why the rest of America is screaming in terror.
America’s end is near.
No one knows why, but the great country is under attack.
After being weakened by countless natural disasters, America opens its airspace for aid. But instead, what is left of the devastated west coast finds itself nearly obliterated from above. The key may belong to tests designed by a Pacific Northwest psychologist, Rachel Parker.
Rachel loses the love of her life in a house fire as they escape with their children to the nearby Rocky Mountains following the first round of air raids. In refuge, she faces her husband’s best friend, Joshua, but doesn’t want to face his ill-harbored feelings or her own inability to face fear.
Her sister, Brenda, escapes the fallen city, and, mistaken for Rachel, is captured. Terrified and alone, Brenda is protected by the enigmatic Daniel even while he helps keep her captive. Through torture and mind games, Brenda discovers information about her sister’s work that could spin the free world into a tumultuous frenzy where the unknown is safer than reality.Purchase on Amazon / Barnes and Noble
My Thoughts: Into the End covers a short time, but packs in so much
action. The attacks and disasters that were ravaging America were scarily
believable. Bonnie R. Paulson did such an amazing job bringing a failing
America to life. I could easily imagine it all happening.
The characters had so much depth. Brenda and Rachel were
interesting and so much the same. In the book they compared themselves to each
other all the time. I thought they were both insanely brave to handle so much
tragedy and danger. Tom was a brave character. I was always on the edge of my
seat during his parts. He seemed to always be in trouble. The book switched
between characters with ease. I never wondered who I was reading about.
I have read many different dystopian and end of the world
books (they are a favorite of mine). Into the End will have no problem holding
a best-selling spot among them. There is mystery for readers, as we try to find
out who is attacking America, and which Americans can be trusted. The psychological
aspects were scary to think about.
This is a book that I am thankful I didn’t start reading
until they were all out. The cliff hangers would have driven me crazy. This
book leaves so much hanging in the wind, and that could be my only complaint.
Could be, but isn’t. Even with so much left to discover, I loved this book so
much. I can’t wait to get the other two books read.
I would recommend this book to any lovers of dystopian and
end of times books. I think this series will go a very long way. It’s fast
paced, full of drama and suspense, and it pulls a reader in.

Through The Flames - Book #2
Allies = All Lies
America is burning. The unknown blinds the citizens from fighting.
Dr. Rachel Parker’s worst psychological designs are loosed on America by an unknown enemy. She leaves the safety of the mountains for the destruction of town to face her co-designer, Daniel, whose role is blurred by the smoke of deception. Captured by militia, Rachel has to find the answers she’s seeking. She’s not prepared to look within her own damaged mind for the solutions. Rachel’s frame of sanity and emotional stability lay on the line parallel to the country’s circumstances.
Brenda Krous, Rachel’s sister, possesses information that could change the face of the war. Sacrifices to get there become more and more personal until the “Brenda” she was and the “Brenda” she is becoming hit a crossroads. If she finds the compassion to help her sister, her patriotism to the nation might be sacrificed.
