Publisher's summary

Live...work...play...die.

South Haven is the premier mixed-used community in metro Atlanta - a vibrant place where old-fashioned country living gets a modern update. There’s the town square where residents watch family movies on the lawn on warm summer nights.

The corner market stocked with organic foods. The bakery with fresh coffee and Wi-Fi. The stately homes on shaded, gently winding streets. The water park where children splash, laugh, and run.

There’s also something deadly lurking.

The first incident is dismissed as an aberration: a college student goes berserk and hacks his family to chunks with a machete. But a day later, a young woman riding her bicycle is chased through the streets by her own neighbors. Then, a teenager takes a deadly joyride, using his pick-up truck to mow down everyone in sight.

As the incidents pile up, the only thing they share is that each person launched into an inexplicable, uncontrollable frenzy.

Mark Deacon, an ex-cop and chief of South Haven’s private security force, has never seen anything like it. And it’s about to get a whole lot worse. Within 24 hours, South Haven is declared a quarantine zone, with every entrance barricaded and military snipers positioned outside the perimeter with orders to shoot on sight.

Fearful residents huddle inside, uncertain whom to trust, anxiously watching one another for clues of where the terror might strike next. Together with Dr. Hannah Bailey, a brilliant CDC scientist dispatched to investigate the threat, Deacon teams up with a motley crew of neighbors, and they hatch a desperate plan to find out answers and stay alive.

But the spreading menace might not have arrived by accident...

great book

Got this book because of the author. Didnt know what to expect but from the first page, i was hooked. This is so good with just the right amount of gore, and suspense.

Thrilling!

This book had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. I love the depth of the characters and the vividness of the story.

Lot of buildup that ultimately went nowhere

Good premise. Very Unsatisfying explanation and ending.
Started strong, was excited for where I thought it might take me. But didn’t go anywhere. End was not strong at all,

Good

Good read. Definitely was not disappointed. Kept my attention throughout. Bittersweet ending. Enjoy! Enjoy! Enjoy!

Edge. Of. Seat.

Have you ever watched that movie Vantage Point? You have like nine people all experiencing the same event but differently? Imagine that meets World War Z. And I loved it. I was here for every heart thumping moment. The crew that links to become family. Those willing to sacrifice their lives for the greater good. The nemesis or villain that does not stop! I love a good horror story where black folks not only survive but they thrive! If this becomes a series…I AM HERE FOR IT!!!

This should be a movie!

A great thriller! Great characters and suspense! The narrator told the story with great skill. Had me riveted. A very good audio book! Highly recommended!

Excellent Story

A well-written suspense thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Frenzied should become a blockbuster movie.

Yikes

So usually I takes me about 2 chapters in so I can find the person reading the book enjoyable. But this narrator was awful. He’s voice irritated me to the point I did not even finish the book. Love Brandon Massey... but the narrator should do something else...

I can't finish.. narrator is horrible.

I'm sure the book is great but I cannot follow along with the narration, it's crap and the sentences run on, no breaks and the voice is just annoying. I really just can't. I don't know who directed it but what a let down.

In need of a different narrator

I don't usually give bad reviews but the narrator is terrible.Its almost mechanic at times. It's like everything is one continuous sentence.I even tried to slow it down, within the app and nothing helped.I was going to continue because I was really into the story but I just can't.. Hopefully this will be re-released at some point with Ray Porter as the narrator. I'll probably give the book back.
