Strain of Resistance

Bixby Series, Book 1

De: Michelle Bryan

Narrado por: Marnye Young

I was 12-years-old when the world ended. For eight years I've survived in this sh*thole once known as Earth, fighting the alien parasite that mutated most of the population into bloodthirsty freaks while the rest of us became the lunch special on their alien menu.

Now things are changing, and not for the better. The parasite is evolving, becoming smarter, stronger, and deadlier.

They've already stolen everything from me - my home, my family, even the man I loved. It's time for this bullsh*t to end once and for all.

My name is Bixby, and I'm the resistance.

Really like the narrator and story was fun

Great listen while I'm doing editing on my computer. Fun, dark fantasy with some sex stuff. Can't go wrong.

Fantastic!

This was an awesome sci-fi/horror book. Great story and characters. The Narrator was great too. Highly recommended.

Seen it a million times before

Promising but lacking zombie fiction. Fails to stand out against the tidal wave, offers some cool ideas but never expands on them.

Great story with fantastic narration

Wow. Great start to a series. It's definitely a 5 star listen and worth your credit. There are just some stories that grab a hold of you and don't slow down for a minute and all you can do is hold on for the ride. This is one of those books.

It's a creative, well written, and fast paced story that pulled me in immediately and held my complete attention from start to finish. Very entertaining and engaging with a
great storyline and an interesting cast of characters. It's an apocalyptic/alien invasion story with plenty of suspense and action with a bit of romance and a very interesting twist.

A story is only as good as it's characters. Even a great story can be ruined by unlikable characters. That doesn't happen here. All the characters are well rounded and interesting. Both likable and unlikable. Bixby is an awesome character. Strong, confident and independent with a hardened exterior that she uses to hide her inner vulnerability from all but a few.

It's a harsh world that hasn't been kind to the survivors of the invasion. They have been living in a destroyed world full of enemies for 8 years. Not only do they have to avoid the leeches(aliens) who are to survive they also have cannibalistic humans to contend with. It's a dark world that they live in and things are about to get worse.

This is definitley a series I will be continuing with. Not sure where things are going to go from here but I see a love triangle coming in the future. I usually hate love triangles but this could prove to be really interesting. I can't say any more about that so I won't give away any spoilers.

Marnye Young does a fantastic job with the narration. She was the perfect narrator for this story. Pleasant voice that is easy to listen to for hours at a time. Her narration pulls you into the story from the first word. Clearly spoken with a nice smooth pace. Great character voices. Both male and female. Each character had a distinct voice and personality. Her male voices are perfect with just a change of cadence and tone. She brought the characters, their emotions and the story to life. Very enjoyable.

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

Cranky Herione

I skipped through a large portion of this. The heroine is a bit unlikable. I mean I enjoy a spunky heroine but when she just a mean b word than no thanks.
