Three years after an incurable virus spread and turned a majority of the population into mindless and cannibalistic creatures, the world is a barren place. Society is broken, and most who remain have banded together in small camps and communities. Jon South is not like most other survivors. After losing his wife and son nearly two years into the pandemic, Jon now wanders the country roads and woods of rural Tennessee, a vigilante taking his revenge out on the undead monsters that took his family from him.

Entertaining but frustrating
Revisado: 11-16-24
I enjoyed the series, it kept me entertained, nothing really stands out from others in the genre but if you enjoy the genre you'll probably enjoy this. it's also good value for a credit
What I did like was that the zombies remained a threat alongside the people. Of course like most zombie apocalypse books people take over as a main threat,but unlike others in the genre the zombies never become a trivial threat to be casually slaughtered by the dozens. they still present a threat and obstacle.
Characters were a weak point. Side characters were likeable but not really developed. They often felt more like tools for the main characters. The good side characters are willing to help and die for the main characters, while the villains hate John with a passion. I can't quite figure out why because he's not particularly special or charismatic. Yet everyone bends over backwards for him, tells him they need him,etc.
the main characters are frustrating. They keep talking about wanting to find a safe place, but leave every safe place. Their motivation is taking care of their boy, but keep making decisions contrary to that. John keeps talking about not expecting others to help, but then begs them to help him, even against their own best interests, then just moves on after they've served their use to him. At one point he has an internal monologue where he questions all these things. "Am I making the wrong choice leaving the group? They've sacrificed a lot for me, it's a place to settle down, kids around for some normalcy for the boy. Is it right to leave". I thought, finally some self awareness. Then he's just like "nah, I'm making the right choice". ugh
I'm all for flawed characters, but they don't feel written with the intent of being flawed, they just seem to lack self awareness. Side characters seem to be aware of the this lack of self awareness, but never call it out, they just kinda seem to chuckle and be like oh well some of us died for him, but what are you gonna do?

Whether romantic or platonic, changing relationships prove tricky for Rose, Tom, Clara, and Craig—never mind adapting to the new not-so-normal. Being surrounded by the undead is bad enough, but with a tyrant-in-training running their Safe Zone, it’s that much worse.

Really good story but takes too much of a departure into romance
Revisado: 08-14-24
The book is well written and interesting. but I have to double check if this is a zombie series or a romance novel. I'm not opposed to romance but for about half the book it felt like everyone forgot there was a zombie apocalypse because they got too busy living in a soap opera. And the fact that there are multiple parallel will they won't they romances culminating in chapter after chapter of lovey dovey makes the romance sections drag. Kissing and making love often stays exciting in real life, but gets old in wroting. its almost too bad I really liked the strong character development and story in book 1 because I'd likely drop this one if I wasn't invested. I do really like the story and and writing/characters despite this, but I really hope book 3 stops with the honeymoon phase and gets back to the zombie stuff. Whether or not I recommend this is dependent on the readers interest in romance. If you want pure zombie action I'd look elsewhere. If you want romanc in a post apocalyptic setting this is great. if you are like me, and don't mind romance but don't want it to be the focus, well that's a tough call
