A world where the hunters never sleep.

World without end

Loved the characters and the plot. I can’t wait to listen to the third book. I hope she finds Bryan!

This series is just OK

As the title suggest, this is a basic zombie series. I found myself zoning in and out and times. I liked that book 2 was from a different perspective (with new people), but the characters from book 1 do end up "colliding" with them in the end. It's a great blend of both stories and brings the two together. But it's not enough for me to continue on with this series.

Terrible reading performance, decent story

It's hard to tell on the second book if it's the readers performance is as terrible as it is, or if the books are written poorly and the reader is trying to make the books more interesting.

Everything is read with a sense of impending doom, from putting shoes on, opening an email, making a call to basic conversation between characters. Even the most mundane moments are fraught with a sense of doom. It's agonizing to listen to constantly.

The stories themselves are very good, some dialog is iffy, but over all I would listen again if only for a different reading performance. Beresford is not a great narrator.

Classic Zombie

An enjoyable series for any Walking Dead fan, this is a classic zombie landscape. The author does a wonderful job of the characters learning as they go, being realistic about how long lights, government & communication will keep working as things devolve, and at incorporating government's reaction to a large scale threat and disease. No spoilers, there's an unusual take on when the zombie virus first appears that's unique to this series. I enjoyed how the first two books weave together and look forward to listening to the third.

No outrageous feats

I was annoyed at the beginning because it seemed the main female character over the top stupid behavior, gladly that diminished as the story progressed.

this was the best

this was the best of the books on the zombie books of LI Albamount

More life in the zombies than….

Narration and story were dry. A fire warning should have accompanied the story bc it might spontaneously combust. Still better than a turd by Turffo
