Phenomenal start to what's sure to be an engaging series.

Revisado: 09-11-24

This book is great chapter after great chapter. The beautifully diverse cast of characters are relatable in all the best ways, and written so well that you find yourself forgetting they're fictional.The narrators do a bang up job making you believe who they are. They become like people you hang out with who are telling you about their crazy adventure. Excellent world building and weaving of stories that give ample details without feeling long-winded in explanations. I love the zompoc/dystopian genre but much of it is rife with predictable plot twists and lazy/crutch use of stereotypes. LM does NONE of that. He draws you into this freaky ass world, and just when you think you know how zombies are gonna behave... Well, he throws a wrench in what you thought you knew there, in the best way. The prequel novella is outstanding too. Can't wait to devour more of LM Juniper's books in the future!

Better story than the last book

Revisado: 10-30-23

I've loved this series but the narrator for this book and the last just doesn't feel connected to the story. That and the frequent mispronounced medical words (ambubag, saline, in situ, etc) really distract listeners. I beta for other authors and proof audiobooks, and I'm not sure how these snuck through. I'm a firm believer in the idea that if you're reading a series that uses certain terminology, you should study the words before narrating.

Feels disconnected from the series

Revisado: 10-26-23

I'm only halfway through this one, after zipping through the series up to this one. The narrator feels robotic and not emotionally connected like the other narrators, weird musical background interludes, and possibly my biggest gripe: Scarpetta has a whole secret military background we never heard about before now, despite hearing her inner monologue for 17 books? Or did I somehow forget that important detail? This one just feels off. I'm dreading that the next book is the same narrator. 😂 I may have to listen to the rest of this one and the next on a fast speed to just power through.

Great story, not the best recording.

Revisado: 01-19-23

I have hearing issues and have to turn the volume up quite loud. I could hear the narrator swallow every few sentences. Perhaps this recording was done before decent pop filters were available to narrators for their recording set up but it was a little annoying. The story made up for it, thankfully.

Kyla is a fantastic storyteller!

Revisado: 12-06-21 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Kyla is one of my favorite apocalyptic writers. She does such great research into the subject matter she writes about, and creates relatable, complex characters who take you on intense journeys. This is definitely one to add to your collection!

Dive into the 2nd series in this amazing zompoc world

Revisado: 04-20-19

I'm an avid reader of post apoc/zompoc/dystopian lit, but Sarah has a way of weaving stories and building relationships with characters that will ruin you for other series. I forget these characters are just inventions, because they feel like people I really know. Even with the strain of the end of the world to deal with, these characters show the best (and worst) of humanity. They'll make you laugh, cry, swoon, shake your head, and bite your nails. Sarah can wreck you in one chapter and make your stomach hurt from giggling in the next... And you'll want to listen again and again.

Is there anything Julia Whelan can't narrate?
