It’s been over 2 years and I still think about this book

Revisado: 08-20-24

Honestly… I LOVED this book. I recommend it to everyone (with lots of disclaimers haha) but also… if they want to read something that will
make them uncomfortable, with an ending that truly makes you question everything you just read… that lingers in the back of your brain LONG after you finished the last sentence… this is the book for you.

Creative take on Zombies & Vampires

Revisado: 01-02-24 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Tbh, I really enjoy R.S. Merritt’s books. I’ve listened to all of his Zombies! And CrWlers series (that’s available in Audible) and really love them.

Interesting take into a “hive mind” zombie system

Revisado: 04-01-23 El oyente recibió este título gratis

First off, I really love the narrator. All of his distinct voices and tones really make it easy to know who is who. Harvey’s character is my favorite I also liked his navy seal friend. :(
I’m not entirely sure I would have liked the direction Yu’s character went in but I was more open to it over time as they established she’s not the only one that’s been discovered to do what she does. Had they made it seem like she’s the “only” one, and a “savior of humanity”, I definitely would have stopped the series as it’s tired and cliche.
However, I still like the series. I really enjoy the authors way of storytelling. It’s easy to follow and doesn’t feel forced. Its loaded with lots of excitement and action packed scenarios that keep me listening. I’m curious how each of the characters will develop into their new roles over the next books in the series.

It barely touched the surface of “horror”

Revisado: 02-27-23

Super disappointed. I really thought this would have become way more “darker” and grittier than it was. It had so much potential to truly push boundaries and it was flat and disappointing. :(

The climax was…. A let down

Revisado: 10-18-22

I was hooked into the story right from the start! But tbh when Charlie and Radar finally got to the other world… it was… “boring?” I dunno. I kept wanting there to be something magical and enchanting about this world but it felt like a cobbled together story of boring fairytale characters. It was missing the magic and enchantment. Even if SK wanted it to be a “darker” place… it was meh tbh. 3.5 stars.

Favorite book so far in the series

Revisado: 10-12-22

I’m really loving all of the new characters — I especially like Harley and even Jeff. I love how action packed this book was and love the different scenarios the characters were placed in. I also really enjoyed all the sarcastic banter in this book and the apologies the author used to describe the scenes. So far it’s been my favorite in the series and I’m excited to read/listen to more!

Love the story; insufferable narrator accents

Revisado: 08-02-22

Look, I enjoy this story. It’s not too serious and is interesting enough to keep me engaged but the publisher should really have picked someone else to do this narration as the Voice/accent for Rodriguez was insufferable and honestly embarrassing to listen to. I cringed every single time he would voice Rodriguez, slipping in and out of a “Latin” accent where the cadence was completely off and totally sounded like a kid trying to mimic something he’s heard once.
Totally took me out of the story.
I will continue to listen, but please be warned, and I dunno… just pay attention to the story and not the horrid mess of “voice acting” in this book.

I couldn’t do it- author/narrator sounds like Tom Hanks

Revisado: 12-22-21

I tried. This was recommended to me by someone I met and it sounded interesting but I could not stand the narrators/authors voice. He sounds like Tom Hanks and I could NOT get into this. I got to chapter 11 or ~3hrs in and had to put on my Did not Finish shelf.
It probably wouldn’t have been so bad had I read it the traditional way, but the author did a horrible job narrating his own work. Please have professionals re-do this.
