CW: As you would expect

Book 6 of my zombie-a-thon!

3.5 Stars

Well this was another entertaining book with some gripping action scenes! The story has well and truly moved towards a show down between the forces of good and evil but won't say why as it is a spoiler.

On to the next book in this series! ( )

Great re read!

This story keeps flowing and makes you want more as you finished the latest installment. Laughed it loud as usual and shed a few tears too...thanks again Mark! ( )

Almost forgot how much I enjoy this series. This was another fun addition. I may never look at my cat the same again. That ending was crazy too. Major cliffhanger there. ( )

I enjoy each book more and more in this series. This one was actually pretty sad. For most of the other books I have felt lots of amusement. I love the wit and the humor and that is still in this book with some heavy added in. I love that the characters are evolving and you never know exactly what you are going to get with the next book.

Having listened to the previous Zombie Fallout books, I’ve grown to really enjoy this series. There is dark humor, witty dialogue, zombie action, mind controlling vampires, and a fair share of heart. This was pretty much the same.

Zombie Fallout 5 opens with Talbot & Co. looking for revenge. They plan to attack a caravan towing Eliza, Tommy, and a lot of zombies in hopes of crippling them enough to keep her off their backs. 3 survivors soon find themselves being taken in by a mother and her child, while another batch of the Talbot clan has difficulties of their own. It’s a race against time, and zombies, as Mike tries to find a lost friend and uncover a secret hanging over his head. Can Mike Talbot trust everyone in his group? Can he hold on to his sliver of sanity when he see the truth? I couldn’t tell you, the book ends with a brutal cliffhanger that is infuriating. Not only because the story doesn’t end, also because I want the rest of the story. Luckily, I already have the next installment available to me, otherwise it would have moved down on my list. I don’t typically mind cliffhangers in series, when they’re done well and the book tells a complete story. That’s not the case here. It’s just completely open ended, intriguing and exciting, but annoyingly unfinished.

Sean Runnette yet again takes the role of Mike Talbot. I haven’t listened to anything else Runnette has done, but his voice fits in perfectly with Tufo’s writing. There was no background noise, static, or mumbling. He’s a solid narrator and I couldn’t think of anyone else who could play these characters.

Mostly, I really enjoyed this story. There were a couple of long flashback scenes that kind of took you out of the story, but they were entertaining. If you like a zombie drama, you will probably like this book.
