Real people against Zombies!

This book starts with a bang and never slows down! The author has created a great cast of characters who are just average people with a few skills that allow them to survive during the outbreak of a zombie apocalypse. The strong family ties are wonderful and realistic and I felt invested in the characters from the start. I love the fact that you have older people and disabled people in this book that are truly capable in the face of danger.

That being said, the author has no problem with unaliving people, even children, as the world faces this outbreak. There is plenty of action and just the right amount of gore that will satisfy the most hardcore zombie junkie. There is plenty of science and also great family dynamics and humor along the way to keep this one moving at a quick pace.

I enjoy books in the zombie genre and I'm always looking for my next fix. When I first started listening to the audiobook, I was reminded of the Still Alive series written by the late Javan Bonds (which is one of my favorites). I was happy to see the reference to his books in this one! Obviously, the author was inspired by Javan's books and I'm happy to be able to continue reading books written in that style.

The narrator is one of my favorites (especially in the zombie genre) and his performance keeps the book moving along and fits the book perfectly. So, if you've been looking for your next zombie fix, grab your favorite hot sauce and start reading!
