Rachel finally seems to have her head on straight, if a little too straight. The amount of times I wished she would slap Elyse were too many. And omggggg that ending!! The last couple of books made me worry for this series but I’m glad Harrison seemed to work out the kinks.

One thing I wish we could get is a polycule between Rachel, Trent, and Kistan. This pining crap is annoying as hell when they’re not going to get together and Kistan is really back.

Zombie Dinos

Revisado: 10-24-24

This book has a LOT going on and honestly the zombiesaurs weren’t even really the main focus of the book for most of it. It was very entertaining though!

Virtual voice will always get 1 star as there’s no performance to review.

Love love love, want more!

Another great installment! I love how Bob Howard really makes this world come alive and goes through the best case censorious of the zombie apocalypse. Always has me on the edge of my seat with if someone is going to die, and sometimes I’m pleasantly disappointed when no one does. So many times you get gut punched by authors that kill off favored characters, and it’s nice that this series hasn’t really killed off any of the main cast.

One thing I wish we would see is some LGBT representation, everyone’s so straight 😂 I know target audience is mainly straight white men for zompoc books, but that shouldn’t be the end all be all. I’d love to see someone like me in this series that I love so much.

This may also be just a personal gripe, but this installment entered another character that was supremely useful but then was immediately infatuated with the men of the cast. As much as I love Chief Barnes and Captain Miller, it’s a little weird when a love triangle is teased just to suggest that Andy should just go with the last single man of the group. Can we not add woman to the group just to be hooked up with the men? And vice versa? Don’t get me wrong, I love romance and the couples in here are great, but I swear everyone is just immediately in love with each other and it’s clear a new character added to the main cast is just to make another couple.

Other than that, I loved this book and love this series. Hoping the next two audiobooks come out soon so I can continue this series!

Love love love!

Another great installment in the Mercy series. I loved the mystery and the convolutedness of it all. Everything had to fall into place *just right* for it to work, and it did. Nice little bow over everything and certainly makes for some fun hijinx to open up in future books. I do wish we had seen more of our main cast, and I wish we got more mundane interactions. Would have loved to see more into Honey and Gary’s relationship and absolutely loved getting to see Sherwood Post have some page time! Really hope we get more around him in either more Mercy books or another anthology book. Overall, absolutely devoured it and Lorelei King did amazing as always in the audiobook. I do wish we could have gotten the male narrator for the male centered POVs we got in this one but I’m not complaining too much.

Great - Not exactly as advertised 😂

Revisado: 02-17-24

For a book titled Chihuahuas of the Zombie Apocalypse I really thought the dogs’ POVs would be the main, but they really didn’t have a whole lot of chapters. Honestly felt like the Chihuahua POVs could’ve been left out and the story would have remained the same, which for the title, shouldn’t have been possible.

But I still really liked this story! The military guys were not the stereotypical macho men you see in a lot of zombie stories. The women were all great, they had heart and their own stories, not just love interests of the leading men which I always love to see. And overall the plot was fun to follow from both the human and dog perspectives. Literally my only complaint is the dog POVs should’ve had more air time and be more integral to the story but other than that, definitely in my top 6 zombie stories! The dogs do NOT die but they are in danger a lot of the time, so just keep that in mind if you are sensitive to that!

I am rating the performance 1star since this was AI narration, really hope this someday gets a real life narrator so I can change my rating for that! This definitely wasn’t the worst I’ve heard as far as AI narrators, it is a little believable in terms of the little inflection it was able to put in but not like a real person could

Pretty Good!

Revisado: 01-20-24

This has definitely been one of the better zombie books I’ve read. It super intrigued by how the zombies started, the character deaths and perils were tense and gripping, and of course the every chapter cliffhanger kept me on the edge of my sy seat and screaming NO! Because I wanted it to go on before the story hopped to someone else. I’ll definitely be continuing the series, though definitely interested how it will go considering how it ended.

The jumping around each chapter was annoying for me. Sure it kept me interested, but with how short each chapter was, I really felt like the story was never going to end when each chapter only had a few minutes taking place each time. Totally get leaving each chapter with a cliffhanger, but it’s very annoying to jump from one action scene to the next one right in the middle of the action.

Overall I enjoyed it and like I said will be continuing! Props to the author for keeping me engaged. Has a different take on the zombies, and kinda nice that not just anyone that does turns, they have to be bitten or scratched. This may change in future books though

Better than the First

Revisado: 01-18-24

This book was better than the first, the personalities of each character was a little more fleshed out and we got to see more of the relationships. But I still feel there was more telling than showing.

Narrator was also better!

There were a few mistakes I noticed, mixing up of names and voices of who was going what. Specifically when Collin/Darren had swung at a zombie’s face and it said Collin did it but Collin said it was rad that Darren did it. Didn’t happen often but was a little odd when it did.

Overall I liked it, the murder mystery was fun to follow along and I really had thought it was one character and not the one it turned out to be so kudos to the author for keeping that behind the curtain until the reveal!

Pretty Good Zompoc

Revisado: 01-14-24

I’d give this 3.5, leaning on 4 so I’m rounding up. It’s nothing groundbreaking in terms of the zompoc genre. The characters were kind of flat, I didn’t really connect with any besides Bailey and sometimes she was just a little annoying going from naive and dumb to the smartest one in the room. I did find the father’s reaction pretty spot on but wished more had been explored instead of a timeskip. I wish there had been more substance between the characters when time skips happened instead of just getting to the next section of action. We got one brief flashback of all the characters hanging out. Hoping for more in the next book! Overall, I enjoyed it. Just some things I think the author could do better with is fleshing out the side characters and relationships more with story instead of being told who they were and how it was felt about them after their death

I agree with other reviews, The narrator had too much inflection and didn’t always match the mood of the words. Her cadence was also a little hard to follow along with as she’d pause and then go on but it wouldn’t match how she had been previously been speaking. The male voices sounded the same and was hard to configure who was who until a dialogue tag was said. Definitely has potential and not the worst I’ve ever listened to

Another Awesome One

Revisado: 03-08-23

I love our group of survivors and adding a few more from space with the same determination and smarts is amazing. Never thought I would be afraid of spiders until the description of hordes of spiders being a truly inescapable horror was being read to me.

Great Narrator! Pretty good sex scenes

Revisado: 06-10-22

I love the narrators voice, he did a great job too.

The overall technical stuff of the audio was a little weird, as you go through the book pauses between sentences and chapters become longer and longer and I started to wonder if it was skipping or had just stopped playing.

The sex scenes were pretty good, and for being basically a short story I wasn’t expecting much plot. I did find Jack’s domming nice and caring for Quinlan.

I did like this book, until about 30 minutes from the end when there was heavy talk about Q’s suicide attempt right after a sex scene. This was a total 180 and really put me off from listening to the rest of the story, not that there was much to listen to as it hopped around til it ended.

Overall, I rate it a two. Some of the sex scenes were more detailed than others, the plot was basic, and the writing was okay. I kept seeing this be recommended on Booktok and a smut group on FB so I figured I’d give it a try. Reading other reviews and finding out this was a self insert fanfic with the narrator himself was really weird and creepy to find out. Hope Eros has better projects in the future!
