Acerca de esta escucha

When Jane Kovak trades her cheating ex-husband and a cushy city life for an old Victorian farmhouse in the mountains of Virginia, she’s prepared to face some challenges. Sulky teenager? Check. Leaky roof? No problem. Territorial chickens? Hmm, that wasn't in the real estate listing. A misogynistic neighbor with boundary issues? That’s just great. A zombie apocalypse? Now wait a damn minute.

One day Jane is juggling her remote design job, single parenthood, and an assortment of quirky new neighbors. The next she’s collecting stray kids and fighting off the infected with a hammer. Now the power is out, supplies are running low, and winter is setting in.

Fun times at the End Times.

Who says you can't have it all? In this warm, witty tale of family, survival, and a touch of romance, one woman proves that when the world ends, tough moms don't just survive—they thrive. Last Mom Standing is perfect for listeners who like their end-of-the-world scenarios served with a side of humor and hope.

Last Mom Standing is a suspenseful family drama set against the backdrop of a zombie apocalypse.

The story follows Jane Kovak, a recently divorced mother who leaves the city with her two daughters, Hillary and Francis, to start anew in a Victorian farmhouse nestled in the mountains of Virginia. Expecting challenges from her teenage daughters and adapting to life in a rural area, Jane is unprepared for the ultimate test of survival: a fast-spreading illness that turns humans into zombies. As the world crumbles around her, Jane’s resilience and maternal instincts are put to the ultimate test!

The story is a mishmash of genres, from comedy to horror to romance to heartwarming family drama. There’s really something for everyone over the course of this highly original story. Mary Jane Owen also explores themes of tested motherhood, resiliency in extreme circumstances, and personal growth. The story maintains a lighthearted and witty tone, giving readers a refreshing take on the post-apocalyptic genre. Jane’s journey is not just about surviving zombies but also about rediscovering herself and forging stronger bonds with her daughters.

Jane is a relatable and intriguing protagonist. She has a very close bond with her daughters and speaks to them with respect and an abundance of sarcasm. Her bitterness towards her ex-husband for abandoning her and her children is evident throughout the story, but she keeps her feelings closed off in an effort to create a positive new start for them all—this, along with her ridiculously dry sense of humor, makes her very likeable. Her quick ability to adapt from a busy city-dwelling mom to a rural survivor further showcases her tenacity and strength of character!

Jane’s romantic subplot with police officer Hector is a nice distraction from all the chaos in the story. When Jane begins to feel attraction towards him, she contemplates it in hilarious inner monologues, and we see another side to her character—suddenly she’s not only the super parent navigating her children through a deadly apocalypse, but she’s also a woman reawakening her female desire. Hector is the perfect gentleman, and his advances towards Jane are subtle as they develop a strong connection through meaningful conversation and shared outings on his motorcycle while investigating the hostile scene in town or getting supplies. Hector also makes an admirable effort with Jane’s children, and they develop a mutual respect for each other, which makes his involvement with their mother much easier to accept.

There are also some compelling side characters, including Jane’s Spanish-speaking neighbor, who, in a twist of fate, turns out to be Hector’s father, and Clive, the villain of the story, who is hell-bent on killing off the zombie-like humans. With all the interesting characters and the multi-layered plot, there’s never a dull moment in this story!

Owen’s writing is fresh, witty, and concise. She seamlessly integrates elements of humor, heartfelt storytelling, and horror to create a story that readers will find difficult to put down and that will linger after the final pages. With the novel’s short length and fast-paced narrative, it’s very easy to binge-read in a single sitting!

Overall, Last Mom Standing is a really unique addition to the zombie apocalypse genre. The novel showcases the author’s talent in weaving together a multilayered story that crosses genres and that gives readers just enough of everything to make it compelling and highly entertaining. For readers who enjoy comedy, post-apocalyptic horror, romance, and fearless female leads, this novel is a must-read!

Narrator Performance Review:

The audiobook of Last Mom Standing is a suspenseful, immersive listen narrated by talented actor and narrator Rebecca Avery! Avery wastes no time in entertaining listeners, as she brings in full expression and witty humor to her performance right from the first chapter. Her portrayal of protagonist Jane is spot on, using a sarcastic and assertive tone, perfectly depicting a single mother with dry humor who’s determined to get her daughters settled in a new home.

The sign of a great performance is when your listeners are experiencing all the feels, especially in a story that crosses many genres—and Avery accomplishes this beautifully. By increasing her pacing and using a more nerve-wracking tone during the confrontational scenes with the “zombies” and antagonist Clive, she makes these scenes especially thrilling. On the contrary, Avery’s delivery of the meaningful dialogue between Jane and Hector gives the feel of a friends-to-lovers romance story, with convincing chemistry and heartfelt banter.

One of the main highlights of the book is the strong bond between Jane and her daughters. Avery makes their communication come across as loving, thoughtful, and hilarious. The story has a wide variety of characters of different ages, from Jane’s daughters’ school friends to an older folk in town, and Avery gives each character a distinct voice and personality to make them feel real and relatable, truly giving the feel of a multicast listen!

After the dramatic climax, when Taylor reunites with her family and Ryan is reunited with his wife, Avery makes each scene heartwarming and memorable—and you may need some tissues on hand! In the final chapter on Christmas Day, Avery leaves listeners with a magical feeling with her delivery of warm dialogue and sentiment of hope and excitement from the characters—the perfect ending to this unique story and one that lingers!

If you're considering this book, the audiobook is the best format to enjoy this story! It’s an absolute must-listen for those who enjoy post-apocalyptic stories, witty humor, and heartfelt romance!
