Dead End

Jack Zombie Series, Book 5

The chances of a fairytale ending in a post-apocalyptic wasteland are slim to none. But so are the chances of surviving hordes of zombies while traveling across the country. So, for Jack Jupiter, the chances mean nothing. He hasn't stopped before and he doesn't plan on stopping now, either.

With Project Reset canceled, Jack and the group head to San Francisco, where Darlene hopes to find her mother and sister...dead or alive; because all she wants is closure. While on their journey, they hear of a settlement located in Golden Gate Park called Haven. Weary of what Haven may actually be, the gang proceeds with caution.

But rarely does that work for Jack Jupiter, and a run-in with a group of religious zealots known as the Red Robes slows them down, creating another enemy to worry about.

Though it's not all bad. New friendships are forged along the way, and Jack's hope never wavers, because without hope in this world, you're liable to hit a dead end.

Will Jack, Darlene, and the rest of the group get their fairytale ending? Or will their luck finally run out?

just my opinion

I really don't like Darlene. always crying and being stupid. I really hope the author kills her off. I get that it's an apocalypse and all. but goodness her constant stupidity and whining/ crying just is unnerving.

Jack Zombie killer

Finished the series. Jack was a very sappy guy. Sometimes I would root for the zombies. I mean I enjoyed the whole series.

I'm glad this is the last free book in the series.

A friend asked me to listen to this series. I'm reconsidering the friendship.

The character Jack Jupiter is the most annoying and incompetent character to grace a zombie novel. He can shoot multiple people in the throat but freezes in other gunfights. He's in love with a privileged waste of space, and has loyal friends, though I can't understand why anyone would want to be loyal to him since he routinely risks their lives to save his "pick me" fiancee. She's a manipulative witch.
I don't understand the choice of narrator. He talks like he's narrating a Sam Spade novel. I had to set the listening speed faster just to understand him.
A truly bad book.
