I love this series ! Picture a certain crazed actor jumping on the couch professing his love, that's how I feel about this series. [image] Each book has taken me to my ultimate dark dank putrid happy place. Oh the characters, they are so real, complete and sometimes nuttier than a fruit cake, it's fantastic ! Lilly, sweet little Lilly, what have you turned into ? [image] I admit to wishing her dead back in the early books. She was so pitiful, weak and stupid back then. I really am too quick to judge, shame on me. So Lilly is the unexpected MC of this book, she leads several of her groupies from the clean comfort of a Swedish mega store and back to Woodbury. She misses her old sweet home. What ? You'd have to drag my Swedish Meatball Stuffed body out by the ankles. So they leave comfort heaven to head back to the past, and the past is really rancid and mad. [image]
We have a new ultra level of nutter join or crew of unhappy red shirt travelers. Yup, there are a lot of red shirts, dying all over the place. It's TWD and so much better than the TV show. [image]The ending was a shocker, I never saw that coming. I cried like a baby, ugly tears, you know scrunched up face, twisted and pained snorts coming from a dark deep pain. [image] Now where is the next book ? ( )

This is the first book I have read in this series. Additionally, I have yet to watch a single episode of the Walking Dead on television. Although, I know a good zombie book when I read one. This book is such a book. It is great. Despite having never read any of the other books in this series, I was able to jump right into this book.

There was a brief point in the story where I was trying to figure out the dynamics of all of the characters to one another but it was not significant. The zombies in this book are not the slow dimwitted ones. No, the zombies in this book are fast and vicious. Blood and guts will be spilled. As if worrying about zombies was not enough, Lilly has to watch her back from humans as well. Yet, I have faith in Lilly as she can kick ass.

Everyone that I met in this book were great. I did not find a weak character. Instantly, I was transported into the story as if I was right there with the survivors. Now that I have had a taste for what this series is about, I plan to go back and check out the prior novels. Zombies for life. ( )
