The world has just been struck by the “Perfect Apocalypse”: nuclear bombs, disease, famine, zombies, killer bees, and many other hidden terrors.

As the world crumbles, a group of survivors discovers there is only one safe haven: the mysterious town of Haunted House Harbor. For some reason, all the unleashed perils cannot penetrate the city limits. But there’s one problem - Haunted House Harbor has its own dark side....

This book has a little bit of everything!

This book has a little bit of everything in it. Terrorists that unleash both bombs and killer bees (that make sting victims into zombies). The only safe place is a haunted town that was cursed by witches. And a creepy clown doll! There are several likeable characters that I want to survive. My favorite part of the book is the zombie action. I hope the next book in this series comes out soon. This is a very entertaining book. The author did a really good job. I liked this narrator. I think he did a good job as well. I received this book for free for an honest review.

Life sucks and then it gets worst for these folks!

I love Roma Gray’s short stories! I love her longer works even more! Lots of elements thrown in here. Never a dull moment.

For those who loved The Stand

You'll love this one too! Lots of similar elements in play, but a more inventive (and creepier) apocalyptic scenario. I won't describe it here, but if you're allergic to bees, this book may send you into anaphylactic shock. Bring your bottle of Benadryl, and don't say I didn't warn ya.

Also, great pacing, great characters, and well-written. Nice cliff hanger at the end too. I genuinely look forward to the next book in the series!

Haunted or hopeful

There are many outbreaks in this book, and I wonder which of these would be worse. You can outrun zombies, but what about bees? It seems there is nowhere to run from these tiny things that can get into just about anywhere. I found Roma's descriptions of the scenes vivid enough to put me in the story. I could almost feel the panic.There are people putting their faith in Hope Harbor. They want to escape the apocalypse and think they might be safe there. But will they? This book ends with a definite opening for book two, which I'm assuming there will be one since Book 1 is written on the title. Roma Gray is a skilled storyteller. The narrator does a professional job, and is skilled at multiple voices. Thank you, Roma for gifting me a review copy.

Has the apocalypse come?

Roma Gray is the mistress of horror. I’ve listened to several of her audiobooks and each leaves me chilled. Now, I’m a rational human being who doesn’t believe in the supernatural or the occult, but even I can admit there are things that can’t be explained by stone cold logic. This book is a series of scenes from different characters’ points of view. At first they all felt disparate and disjointed but as time passed the relationships began to take shape. The scenarios began to be logical. The pieces of the puzzle began to fall into place.

This book is about the end of humanity as we know it. Each attack is more damaging and damning. From the bombs to nuclear explosions to killer bees and eventually zombies, the world is facing a crisis like never before. There are a group who seem to have the means to survive the carnage but I didn’t get to find out if they survived or not. Optimist that I am, I want to believe they did.

Terry F. Self narrates many of Ms. Gray’s books and again he did a great job. He has the perfect voice for this story and has distinct voices for each character. He also gets to tackle and Irishman, a Mexican, and a young woman with Asperger’s, amongst others. As always, I was impressed by his performance.

If you’re a fan of horror stories then this book is for you. I will continue to listen to her books, never quite believing they are real but knowing they provide plenty of entertainment.
