Review

Praise for the Irish End Game series:

"A love story, a disaster story, a survival story. The woman who is afraid of everything now had to make it in a world where there is everything to be afraid of."

"Post-apocalyptic adventure set in Ireland...absolutely engrossing!"

"You'll be on the edge of your seat every step of the way."

"Here's one to put at the top of your READ NOW list. Absolutely riveting."

"Well done dystopian fiction; love the Irish setting and the characters. Not at all predictable."

"Definitely one of the best series I've read in a very long time."

"If you liked Diana Gabaldon's "Outlander," you'll love this. In fact, The Irish End Games would make a far better TV series than "Outlander." Great style, plot, storyline and totally believable characters."

"After the bomb went off, it's now hunt, farm, garden...or die. I was enthralled by these books. There are so many original turns of events that you simply won't see coming."

"Could NOT put these books down once I started!"

"Absolutely addictive series."

"Once you start, you can't put the books down."

"Strong American heroine in a world coming down around her ears. Fascinating, well done and totally believable."

"I couldn't help wonder what I would do if this happened here. Scary but very real."

"A mother, father and small son from Florida take a vacation in Ireland. A disaster throws the country back a hundred years. No electricity, no food, no cars. It's a great story. Reading them was like riding a roller coaster."

From the Author

Ever wonder how you'd handle being flung back to a time when there was no electricity, cars, electronic entertainment or modern police force? I often found myself wondering how I'd feed my family without all our modern conveniences. It's the reason I wrote this dystopian series from a modern soccer mom's point of view. I hope it engages you as much in the reading of it as it did me in the writing of it! Each book in the Irish End Game Series can be read as a standalone, but they're more fun in order:
Free Falling (Book 1)
Going Gone (Book 2)
Heading Home (Book 3)
Blind Sided (Book 4)
Rising Tides (Book 5)
Cold Comfort (Book 6)
Never Never (Book 7)
Wit's End (Book 8)
Dead On (Book 9) White Out (Book 10)Black Out (Book 11)

5.0 out of 5 stars ~~Trials and Tribulations away from Ameriland~~
Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2015
Verified Purchase
Sarah and Mike continue on their trip to find both Gavin and John. By the time Mike and Sarah left Ameriland, Gavin had been gone a couple of weeks and John about one. This story takes place four years after the plague and although it hasn't arrived in Ireland yet, it is getting closer and closer. And, there is no cure on the immediate horizon. One of the characters in this story is bound and determined to either be given the cure or that it not be given to anyone. So, a power struggle is taking place in the arena of the scientists, as well. .

There is a lot of action in this book on multiple fronts. Everyone is traveling around and facing their own tribulations. And, it seems as though at every new location, another set of problems occur. Sarah and Mike are absolutely committed to finding the boys. Gavin and John are both just as adamant about returning to their home in Ameriland. Details about a cure for the plague surface and create havoc for one of the main characters.

The characters are well developed even though some of them have a short life span in the story! The trials and tribulations the characters encounter are incredible but at the same time most believable. All in all, an outstanding read and the ending was a real surprise... which of course leaves me waiting for the next book!

Most highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars The adventure to survive continues!

If you are familiar with the reviews I have written of books 1,2, and 3 in this series, then you know how much I love them. It is a beautiful story of an American family who went on vacation in Ireland and ended up being trapped by a third world war. The bomb that explodes over the Irish Sea takes out all the electricity and all the cars and leaves the family and all of Ireland in the world of the 1800 hundreds. I just finished the 4th and 5th books in the series and they are just as compelling as the first 3. In fact, I went back and reread the first 3 books and I think I loved them more the second time. If you like reading about the apocalypse then you will read these books over and over. You won't find any zombies, but you will find plenty of evil men and women who are just as scary and just as brutal. Plus, zombies aren't sneaky and come at you out in the open. Humans plan and manipulate and turn good people against one another. The main characters are very real and have layers of determination to survive whatever threatens them. The author tells us at the end of the fifth book that there will be a sixth. I can't wait. Do yourself a favor and get the first book "Free Falling," and become involved in an adventure that could really happen to anyone. You'll love it!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Now I said all that I still think the book is better than most apocalypse books and the characters are interesting ...

Interesting series set in Ireland after an EMP stops all electronics in the country. The author does seem familiar with Irish history to the point of England being able to send help and once again not doing so. The U.S. and Canada send no help either though and that is not addressed. The rest of Europe does not send aid either and those countries are not mentioned . So it's as if Ireland and England exist in a a vacuum. It's been four years since the pulse and not much as changed as far as getting the infrastructure back up and running. I fear the series is running out of the reader's ability to willingly suspend disbelief as to how the country would function 4 years later with no subsequent bombs going off. Although there is hope for an explanation I don't want to mention because I don't want to post a spoiler. Now I said all that I still think the book is better than most apocalypse books and the characters are interesting and likable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Totally engrossing
Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2018

I'm not good with reviews, however, I do like apocalypse type novels, and this certainly fits the bill. I have been invested in this series from the first book, and this is unusual for me. Often I read the first, maybe second book in a series and then lose interest - but not in this series. It has held my interest from the beginning.

There has been great character development. Appropriate use of new characters, and relationships that make sense. There has been enough action to keep me interested, and the completeness of descriptions whether of the setting of an event to the look of a character, makes me feel like I am there.

I highly recommend this series of books, and I look forward to more!

5.0 out of 5 stars A TANTALIZING, ADDICTING SERIES OF THE FIRST ORDER
Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2015
Verified Purchase
I've had the pleasure of reading all of the first five books in Susan Kiernan Lewis' THE IRISH END GAME SERIES. And this latest installment, RISING TIDES, just may be the best yet.
In the previous book the author (I thought) came perilously close to sliding off into fantasy land - and ruining the integrity of the series. But, once again, she rallied to prove me wrong. And the effort put forth here is astounding.
The American Woodson family, reduced to Sarah (the mother) and John (her son) have now been taken in by Mike Donovan's family by virtue of Sarah's marriage to Mike. And Sarah & a John, as well as Mike and son Gavin couldn't be more pleased. But that's not to say that there life has become a bed of roses. Dangers and betrayal lurk around every morning sun - and they abound in this volume as, in the midst of a crisis both John and Gavin go missing. And months & months of searching commence, leading to unbelievable intrigue filled with lies, betrayal, and misunderstandings. And by some of those you'd least likely suspect, no less.
Meanwhile, both John & Gavin are busy with adventures of their own. Both quite different. But just as dangerous.
To say that the peace and solitude of what once was 'Donovan's Lot' has been shattered is an understatement. But far more serious concerns are afoot too. And John & Gavin are both waist deep in it. With Mike & Sarah only marginally behind.
A true mystery and adventure for everyone involved. And things may never again be he same for the Donovan's.
