What would you do if you were the last person on Earth?

Resilient - it's what I need to be to survive this.

I don't know what happened, but the Africa I wake up to is not the friendly one I'm used to. Deathly silence and hollow-eyed corpses are all that greet me when I finally come to.

What happened? How will I survive?

I find out the hard way that I am not ready for the answers...or what comes next.

**Please note that Resilient was published in April 2019, which was before the CoVID Pandemic reached and changed our world forever.**

Resilient is my first novel by Cox and it did not disappoint! I enjoy dystopian, apocalyptic novels where people fight for survival from each other or from other creatures and with Resilient we get both!

Our narrator is Erika and she lives in South Africa as does Cox. Erika tells us her story and I was pulled in the entire time. What seemed like the flu at first and Erika woke up alone and it had been a week and then she realizes everyone is dead. She can’t find another single person! This disease killed extremely quickly. The beginning of Resilient was reminiscent of the first episode of The Walking Dead with Rick Grimes waking from his coma completely alone.

Erika is alone and we experience that with her. Being alone for an extended period is enough to drive a person crazy, luckily Erika is not totally alone after a while: Hello, Morgan the dog!!! Morgan was my favorite character after Erika. And whenever Morgan was mentioned, I feared for him. I kept thinking “Please don’t hurt/kill the dog!’

We see Erika struggle to survive and stock up on supplies for herself. In the beginning for Erika, it was seemingly weird to go ‘shopping’ and not pay for your items. Erika is smart, resourceful (OMG she thought to go to a library to research things she needed to know!), and has a strong drive to survive. In fact, she IS Resilient.

Erika was also very fortunate with her surroundings. If she had not had her parent’s house it would have been a completely different story. Eventually Erika comes across other survivors in various forms and then it becomes a battle to survive against each other. The novel goes in several different directions that I was not expecting that truly shows how much Erika grows over the course of this novella. I really liked Erika and was rooting for her the entire time. Though short, this novella covers a lot and is also a complete story.

I received an audible copy from Cox. Many thanks for it as I enjoyed going on Erika’s journey!

I fully enjoyed Juliet Jones’ narration as she really brought Erika to life for me. She will be a narrator I will be on the lookout for!

If you enjoy dystopian novels, I would recommend Resilient for you!

Okay, this was a really good Apocalypse book. I really enjoyed the book a lot. I'm kind of sad about what happened to the other, but it takes on bad ass chick to do what she did. The ending was sad and happy at the same time. The narrator did a good job, too.

Excellent end of the world story. Including a different kind of zombie. Totally enjoyed it. No foul language. No “adult situation”. Perfect.

Disclaimer: I received a free audiobook copy of this book.

It is nice to read a post-apocalyptic story with a female lead and not centered on the USA.

The narrator does a good job with the book. The sample for this book is a pretty good depiction of her voice and tone.

The book starts a day in the life of Erika, progresses to a slice-of-life post-apocalyptic story, before escalating to a thrilling survival/mystery story.

It's a short listen, at 5.5 hours long, but worth a check if you have a credit to use. I do wish it had been longer to flesh out the characters and world more, but you can’t have everything you want.

Slice of life postapocalyptic story that escalates
