Publisher's summary

A heartwarming tale of terror in the middle of the zombie apocalypse. Meet Sarah and David. Once upon a time, they met and fell in love. But now they’re on the verge of divorce and going to couples’ counseling.

On a routine trip to their counselor, they notice a few odd things: the lack of cars on the highway, the missing security guard, and the fact that their counselor, Dr. Kelly, is ripping out her previous client’s throat. Meet the zombies.

Now Sarah and David are fighting for survival in the middle of the zombie apocalypse. But just because there are zombies, doesn’t mean your other problems go away. If the zombies don’t eat their brains, they might just kill each other.

There are hundreds, if not thousands, of zombie-themed stories out there. But which ones are the very best? And which zombie audiobooks will have you double-checking the locks and sleeping with a baseball bat next to your bed?

Zombies with a twist

This is more a self help book for at risk marriages when the world falls to pieces. It is a good listen

Robert's Review

This is a fantastic book. I highly recommend this book. It's part one, I hope part two doesn't take to long to come out. The narrative is superv.

First book of a series

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

Maybe it's because I read very fast, but I found the narration extremely slow. I listened to the entire book on 1.5 times speed.

Any additional comments?

Overall the book is entertaining, especially if you're into zombie stories. I was slightly disappointed that there wasn't much of an ending, as this is clearly designed to be part of a series.

How the zombie apocolypse saved my marriage?

This is a fun and funny for a zombie story...I enjoyed the Seattle setting, but now I see zombies all around Seattle.

Fun diversion

Stephen King lite in the era of Covid reminding us, it could have been Zombies.

This was so funny and creepily relivant for 2020

It was a little gotesque and a lot funny. This is perfect for during the pandemic because turns out it could be worse. WAIT! Is our entire federal government zombified?

Such a fun listen

I don’t normally write reviews because I don’t care to analyze books, I like to be entertained. This book was flat out fun. You should probably enjoy theorizing about a zombie apocalypse, and you shouldn’t be squeamish, as it’s quite graphic. This is pure fun.

Love it!

Holy Moley this was awesome! Forget Mr. and Mrs. Smith, y’all, these two are WAY more entertaining! I loved how the apocalypse worked as a far better therapist than the one who felt rather annoying (though we admittedly aren’t properly introduced to her haha). I didn’t really get sad at some of the scenes I would’ve thought I would have, but that last one got me!

I listened to the narration of this, and simply loved the snark of the reader’s voice; she got perfectly with the main characters.

The only drawback was the it felt a tad jerky in some places, and occasionally words were repeated too often in a sentence. Not anything huge, but something that I tend to take notice of.

If you like snarky humor and zombies, this is for you.

Nice take on a zombie apocalypse

Really enjoyed this series. Cool take on a zombie apocalypse. It’s a quick listen and I kinda wish they were longer but otherwise I’m glad I purchased this series.

Great Listen

This is a great listen, I don't normally listen to Zombie books, but this one is fantastic. Petersen has a great sense of humor and Campbell is a terrific narrator.
