Resumen del Editor

People are growing ill; eyes changing color, burning up with a fever so fierce that it causes them to go crazy, attacking those around them, spreading the infection like wildfire.

People are trying to escape the unknown sickness, but there is nowhere to run...nowhere to hide....

The only chance for the survival of the human race is to stay and fight. However, they're unaware of what they're fighting. What they're up against is much greater than anything they could ever imagine. This is just the beginning....

Could this be the end of humanity?

Must have more!!

I'm a zombie fan. I'm a scifi nut. I never in my wildest imagination thought you could combine the two so seamlessly, flawlessly, and amazingly slick as Michelle Halstein did with this, sorry for the misspelling. Lol. I can't say enough and I can't wait to dive into more. I found out about these books on Audioboom, and have a some to give unbiased reviews on later, but, if the rest of the series is anything like the first, and I can't wait to see what else she's done, it should be an adventure. Every summer has an epic movie, or book, or great beach read. This one, is going right up there for me. I bought this one with a credit because I just couldn't wait and I'm glad I took the dive and will be holding onto this one and recommending it for sure. Awesome book, I can't wait to get more!! This ain't your daddy's zombie novel for sure.

Zombies caused by aliens

I honestly wanted to like this. I love zombie apocalypse stories. That being said. This is a zombie apocalypse tale with several bumbling characters. Add in aliens that possibly caused the outbreak for good measure. I personally didn't care for this. The narrator has a pleasant voice. I received this for free for an honest review.

Loved it more then I expected

I am not a Dystopia fan, actually, I try and avoid books that are in this genre but I liked the description and decided I would give it a go.
I am so glad that I did! I thought the author wrote this book really well.
It flowed really well. I did not ask question of why as I was reading except for the obvious, which you will not find out until the characters find out themselves.
The story is told through five pov's, they are linked in some way but you don't find out until the story progresses.
one of the things I like about this book is that I was hooked from the beginning and things happen quite quickly so we don't have to wait until we get to chapter three until things go downhill. It helps that the story is fast paced and is full of suspense. You want the characters to succeed. There were some nail-biting moments.
There is a twist that I did not see coming even though it is not a new thing. Other authors have done the same but this writer did it in such a way that you think you know what is going to happen, then they surprise you.
There is violence, which doesn't surprise me and some profanity but not a lot. There is no sexual content except for one scene but this happens behind closed doors.
Would I recommend it? I actually would. I loved it. The author has me hooked and I am dying to find out what happens next.

The narrator is a good choice for this book. He voiced all the characters and put emotion into what they said, so I knew when they were scared, upset, angry or any other emotion without being told. I love narrators who do this because they also help in immersing you in the story.

It was ok......

I liked the story but.... I'm not a fan of aliens being the cause of Zombies, Elly has no survival instinct what so ever there is no way she would have lived. If you read my other reviews you will see weak female lead characters are one of my pet peeves. Amanda was an ok character, but neither Amanda or Elly asked questions when they clearly needed to. Mike didn't act like a police officer. But other then that, the story was entertaining and worth the credit.

Loved it!! Creepy indeed!

I loved this series! seriously...what would we do? The WHAT IFS in this series are so compelling! I love the sheriff. So far he is my favorite!

Apocalyptic tale

I was truly surprised at how much I loved this book. It was absolutely amazing and scary it gave you reason to pause. I never thought that I could be this intrigued about a book about viruses and zombies. It was creative even if the characters were not quite all there. It was well written and thought out. I received this review copy at my request. I am now voluntarily leaving my honest review.

not my thing

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

This book started out as any other post apocalyptical zombie fiction, mid-way through the book it turned into an alien invasion. Take out the aliens and it was a fairly decent book unfortunately aliens are not my thing.

I LIKED IT!

I liked it. This book was full of action, drama and suspense. The narration was good. This author did a good job with her characters and plots (lots of unexpected twists and turns). This was my first book by this author but definitely will not be my last. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Good Zombie story with a twist!

I really enjoyed this Zombie type story and I am not a fan of Zombies. It has more than just blood and gore. My only problem was the narrator seemed to mispronounce several words which is a pet peeve of mine. But all in all a throughly enjoyable book.

Exciting and New Apocalypse

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I loved this story. Michelle Ann Hollstein creates a detailed and attention grabbing story. I never saw some of the twists coming. This is different than other zombie type stories. Christopher DoQui did a wonderful job reading this story.

In the story we follow Ellie, Mike, Amanda, Bill and Bill's son Benjamin as they fight to survive. Each character faces their own set of circumstances and struggles. The way Michelle writes is so detailed you can perfectly envision everything! Its not just the infected they have to worry about but the crazy non infected too! This is a brillant twist to traditional apocalypse books and I can't wait to see what happens next!! Well worth a credit if you enjoy apocalypse books.
