Wretched Culling

The Wretched, Book 2

By: E.G. Michaels

Narrated by: Brian Callanan

The human race is in the fight of their lives...and they're losing.

In the first 24 hours, the Reapers have already begun to shift the balance of power in their favor. Inside their own ranks, one creature rises to become their undisputed leader.

Hiding in the rural suburbs of Philadelphia, Malcolm Foster has gathered "The Wretched", a rag-tag group of survivors, and gone underground in hopes of avoiding the Reaper attacks.

But it doesn't take long for Foster to realize the Reapers have sprung a new plan: A targeted culling of those who protect Americans. If they succeed, then those who are left behind will be nearly defenseless and unable to stop the Reapers from taking over.

Can Foster find some way to stop the Reapers before they succeed?

Domination vs. Resilience

The Reapers are amping up their numbers in pursuit of taking over the United States and taking out anyone who opposes them. Wretched Culling is a very well written book that combines science fiction, drama, and intrigue, with a bit of humor mixed in making for one amazing thrill ride. The storyline flows perfectly from book one and doesn't miss a beat as we learn more of Malice's plans for domination. Brian Callanan again does an amazing job as the narrator with perfect voices and comedic timing. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves science fiction books with a little twist.

Wow

A good follow-up

This is a good follow up to the first book. I loved the action, and things seemed to move along quite nicely. Still the same likes...monsters, action, location, characters, and the dislikes are pretty much the same, although the monster control and command structure are too much for me.

Narration was good, but if you have listened to the Generation Z books, this series sounds just like it. I guess that is to be expected given they have the same narrator, but it struck me as interesting.

I am interested in the follow-on book and will listen when it comes out.

I was given a free copy of this audiobook in exchange for an unbiased review.

Still good

Ok so some of this is silly but the story is still really good.
I can’t believe they would let Olivia a 12 year old girl walk home. (I think that was her age) I will add that she had just been chased by reapers. It was never explained why they ignored everyone else and only chased her.
Other things are bothering me a bit too. The reapers are a bit mindless and dumb one second but know random things the next. I guess you should make them dumb or intelligent. Not mix it the way this has been done.
I’m still enjoying the books because the human characters are extraordinarily well written.
The ‘Alpha’ reapers are a bit comical, wanting power and to take over the world but eventually their food source will run out. Again a smart reaper but also stupid. Think comic book villain.
Narration by Brian Callanan is spectacular.

I was voluntarily provided this review copy at no charge by the author, publisher and or narrator.

characters

the main characters were a bit silly a d unrealistic. the politicans were perfectly portrayed

Fun engaging story

I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

The narration in this is excellent.
The writing could use a little work. From a story perspective this is engaging and fun. The author way way overused the phrases instinctively and immediately. In several spots characters will openly state one thing and then do the opposite. For example the president demands every option of matter how crazy to stop the infestation and then immediately yells at people for wanting to use nukes.

Sergeant Black was a low spot in the story for me he was antagonistic for seemingly no reason at all.

There was also some repetition from the first book.

Overall I’d say that the story is pretty interesting and would recommend it to the fans of the genre.
