Tortures of the Damned by Hunter Shea

 


🌟🌟🌟🌟

Four "Fallout Fears" Stars


Wasteland Woes!

A small taste of what lies within:

Terror hits the East coast when everything comes to a stop with communications as signs of life seems to cease when a terror attack seems to have occurred. Buck and his girlfriend, Alexiana help their neighbors, the Padilla family into his bomb shelter when the attacks happen as no one is sure what is going on. 

When time goes by and they venture out into the world things are changed. All kinds of animals and pests have seemed to turn rabid and they are wandering the streets looking for fresh meat. No one is safe in this new world and Buck along with his neighbors will need to fight tooth and nail if they want to survive! 

That is about all I can hand out on a small taste without giving away spoilers so if you want to know more then go read this book! 

Thoughts:

This book went in a different direction then what I am used to with reading a book by author, Hunter Shea, but the madness and twisted backdrop of the story with animals going wild threw me right into the mix of things! I would still say this is a horror story even though it is tightly woven into a science fiction apocalyptic world. 

The story has tons of tension laced throughout and kept me reading long into a few nights as so much was happening that it was hard to put down.  It really should have been a five star read but something happens later in the book that made me drop it down one star. I cannot tell you what it is because it would be a spoiler but the story is still filled with twisted terror and the descriptions of what takes place kept me edgy.  

I can imagine this story being close to our reality if anything like this ever happened in real life. It really shows how much we all depend on communications and being connected to the outside world. Author Hunter Shea brings everything into clarity with this story showing the kindness of neighbors and the angry world right outside the door. Another great book by this author!
