Picking up with book 2, we switch to Laura’s point of view as she watches her husband's sacrifice and realizes that she too is willing to do anything for her girls. That installment ends with David’s ultimate sacrifice for his family. We meet up with Laura and the girls, Kim and Annie, at the end of book 1. Guys…seriously…intense zombie-ness! Book 1 follows David as the main character in his attempt to find his wife and daughter in the beginning of a very new zombie outbreak. The story moves quickly but there were too many mistakes to make for interesting reading. Why would a terrorist be carrying an antique shotgun. Cops, terrorist or people other than outdoorsmen do not carry double barrel shotguns! You don't 'cock' a double barrel shotgun unless it has hammers and hammered Double barrels began to be phased out in the late 1800's. There are no trout in the ocean off New York. First off, there is no real shrimping industry north of North Carolina so Billy and his father's shrimping operation makes no sense. This may not make a lot of sense to people that have not read this but I don't feel like going into great depth. Wise is a city dweller and knows nothing about outdoor activities. Wise would be wise to at least do some research or leave out things that he knows nothing about.

This one hugged the line but it was so short I slugged through. First off, I usually reserve a 1 for books I can't finish.

I don't even know where to begin with this hot mess. Her risk-taking courage is actually quite inspiring.

She lives through some crazy painful experiences just to keep her children from turning into zombies. The character of Laura, a mom desperately trying to make sure her kids stay safe, is the most bad-ass character I've read in a long while. There are only a handful that last throughout all four novellas and I love that Wise was not afraid to kill some of our favorites - it made the story all the more realistic. Even as you read, you want to make the characters hurry up and you practically want to shout at them!Īnd speaking of the characters - I loved them all - every single one. Their ruthless pursuit of flesh makes every moment terrifying. Wise does not disappoint! His zombies move a little faster than others I've read about, they can walk underwater, and change within a matter of hours after death.

When it comes to the disgusting, man-eating creatures, A.R. I found the mystery to be exciting and thrilling - especially considering I could totally see see this happening in our world today! But of course, my favorite part were the. But it was so short (they're all novellas) and so good, that I had to read the rest!ĭeadlocked starts off as your average zombie apocolypse story - although you learn pretty early on that the virus may have been may have been brought on intentionally as an act of bio-terrorism. Interestingly enough, I was only asked to review the first book in the Deadlocked series.
