Alone

A Zombie Novel

De: Kate L. Mary

Narrado por: Amber C Morton

For the past two years, Jules has floated through life.

When the virus was released it changed everything about the world. Jules lost her mom and her home, forcing her to live with the father she barely knows. Now, even as society works to rebuild, Jules still feels like she doesn’t quite fit in.

Then she meets Roman.

Even before the zombies, he only had himself to depend on. Brooding and rebellious, Roman isn’t anyone Jules would have pictured herself with before the zombies came. But now she finds herself willing to give up everything to be with him.

The attraction is too strong for either one of them to ignore, but Roman and Jules soon discover that the uncertainty of their new world extends much farther than just the zombies. When disaster strikes, Roman must race against the most terrifying clock imaginable to save Jules, or once again end up alone.

Alone

Alone is set in the same world as Broken World series and Twisted World series. Kate L. Mary is an excellent writer of YA fiction. I have enjoyed her writing for several years now. I highly recommend her series.

Wasn’t Terrible

But wasn’t great either. I was expecting more as I’ve enjoyed this author’s other books. I really struggled with the narration, I’m pretty sure this is the main reason I wasn’t able to connect with the story. It was strange.

Alone

A YA Zombie book.I believe it would be well recieved by the YA crowd. I found the angst too angsty. Amber C Morton was an ok narrator.I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Teenage love & struggles in the zompoc world

Alone (A Zombie Novel) by Kate L. Mary and narrated by Amber C. Morton is a fabulous YA zombie story! Recommend if you enjoy teen romance stories mixed with the zompoc.

What’s it about? During the zombie apocalypse, Jules and her father go to an established safe town for her father’s job. While there she meets Roman and his father, Rick, who is the town regulator. The town is set up to protect those within the walls and maintains the facade that all is well, but Jules learns that’s far from the truth. The beginning is heavy on the romance/setting up the story, while the second half is more about zombies/surviving. The views alternate between Roman and Jules and the story moves forward at a quick pace. There are two endings and I appreciate Kate did this as it makes me love the story all the more.

The narrator, Amber C. Morton, did an OK job. I hate to write this but need to note there’s a noticeable breathing noise taken before speaking and it’s distracting. With that being said, the more you listen to the story without interruptions, the more you get use to it. If this wasn’t there, it’d be a five star narration in my opinion. I hope Amber continues narrating as she has a lot of potential.

Parental guidance/trigger warnings: This takes place in the zompoc, so think of things relative to this- death, violence, guns, father is physically abusive to son, absentee father, rape accusation (didn’t happen), sex.

*I was given a free review copy of the audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. Thank you for allowing me to listen and review the book! Loved that the story had two endings.

YA Zompoc

This is a fantastic YA zombie book but still enjoyable by all ages. Kate L. Mary has a way with word and is exceptionally talented at writing poignant scenes. The storyline is gripping, and characters are appealing, and the romance is engaging. The narration by Amber C Morton is great, but not excellent. I was given a free copy of this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
