Fantastic

Really really really enjoyed this. can't wait to get the next book in the series!

YA zombie novel

I didn’t like Sean and Frank’s father/son relationship. Sean was too whiny, and Frank was too disconnected. This book had such potential, but the way Frank blew off anything that Sean tried to do didn’t sit right with me. And the way Sean whined about everything became annoying.

I do love the way the author gave us a good backstory into the development of the zombie virus, as well as the main characters development. It’s just that I wasn’t a big fan of the characters. LOL.

This is the type of series that I wish was in one Omnibus so I wouldn’t have to buy each book individually. So unfortunately, I will not be going on to book 2.

Orphans Origins

The family dynamic was tense…father & son relationship was very strained. The father & girlfriend relationship was rushed. The son and girlfriend relationship was sorta cringe. Now the story was good and really enjoyed the story overall and the narrator did a great job.

Nothing stood out

This series is ok, but not great. The narrator voices for some of the characters is annoying. The story is not really unique. The characters have unrealistic, stupid conversations that don’t move the story along.
