This is one of those stories that you think is going in one direction and then bam! it gets flipped on its head. Picture a Brooklyn family of four on their way to a remote Long Island estate eager to pretend this luxurious rental house is theirs. It is quiet, the pool is heavenly and as they drink and relax they think - this is the life. Enter the couple that really owns the house who return late that night instead of heading to Manhattan due to a huge power failure that is sweeping the city leaving them no choice but to return their Long Island home. Soon the two families begin to believe things are more serious than they originally thought. This feels like a social experiment gone wrong as we take an intimate look at two families that couldn't be more different trapped in a potential apocalypse. Masterfully written and increasingly tense, it will leave you with your mouth hanging open wondering what just hit you. My thanks to the publisher for the advance copy of the book. I listened to the audio and the narration was perfect. 4 1/2 stars
