About this listen
In a world overrun by the undead, with no experience in parenthood and an empty past that haunts her every step, Vicki is the last person you'd expect to be a caregiver.
A borderline alcoholic struggling to keep her demons at bay, she's suddenly thrust into the role of protector for two young children.
Just as they think they can take a breath and relax, tragedy strikes, leaving Vicki and the kids alone with a mysterious newcomer. Desperate for safety and a sense of belonging, they join forces, forming a fragile survival group.
As the days turn into weeks and the bond between Vicki and the children deepens, she discovers that she may need them as much as they need her. Together, they navigate a world where the line between life and death is blurred, finding hope and humanity in the most unexpected places.
Yet, the zombies are not their only threat.
In this gripping tale of survival, sacrifice, and the unbreakable bonds forged in the face of unimaginable adversity, Vicki and her makeshift family will stop at nothing to find safety, no matter the odds. Babysitter of the Apocalypse is a heart-pounding thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last word.
Includes a bonus prequel novella.

When Marianne woke up in a cell three months ago, she didn’t know who or where she was. Now, still locked away and no closer to uncovering her identity, all she knows is that London fell to a deadly virus and something dark grows within her. Something twisted and evil fighting to take control. After a daring escape, Marianne finds herself on the run, evading the monsters that roam the streets. However, she soon discovers that the monsters aren’t who she thought they were—and are much closer than she believed.

Story
BANGKOK, MARCH 2018. The world looked on in horror as millions of innocent lives were snuffed out in a matter of hours. Countless men, women and children slaughtered without mercy, torn apart by a violent mob that attacked without reason, motive or warning. Tom Freeman witnessed the aftermath. He reported on the tragedy and looked into the eyes of the sole survivor, an old friend, and what he saw looking back sent him running home to the United States. Back to safety. Back to a place where the world made sense, and the putrid stink of the dead didn't haunt his nightmares.

Story
Most days, Sarya doesn't feel like the most terrifying creature in the galaxy. Most days, she's got other things on her mind. Like hiding her identity among the hundreds of alien species roaming the corridors of Watertower Station. Or making sure her adoptive mother doesn't casually eviscerate one of their neighbors. Again. And most days, she can almost accept that she'll never know the truth - that she'll never know why humanity was deemed too dangerous to exist.

Really good !
I’m a tough critic, and although this story was very much enjoyable, I just felt like it was too “Walking Dead” but I do LOVE TWD, so I almost felt like it was the same, just a different persons story, in a different part of the country. Also, Vickie is pretty lame and I’m holding on to the hope that she is going to redeem herself. She’s relatable to me bc I’m an aunt and I’d do this for the kids, no questions, but other than her being there for them, she’s not great.
The narrator was meh, she seems rushed and monotone, I wish someone else would have performed and since I don’t have the physical book, it is what it is.
I’m invested and already purchased the next book. Overall it’s a good story.

Ode to an Alcoholic
Meh. Unlike other reviewers, I didn’t care for the narrator. Seemed rushed and petulant. I also didn’t care for the constant preoccupation with alcohol. I get that it’s a pretty accurate depiction of how the mind of an alcoholic works, but having known, cared for or lost a few people who struggled with alcoholism, I had a hard time getting past what felt like a glorification of the disease. Usually there is at least a singular quality that endears you to a character. For Nicki, I held onto the fact that she kept slowly showing signs of accepting her own choice to stay and be present enough for the kids to finish it - but - there isn’t anything bada$$ about being a bully. And she had some tendencies. There were parts of the dialogue where I wanted to shake her for that kind of behavior. Toward people she barely knew, toward the kids, the guy that saved her more than once and the crazy lady. It bothers me. Just not a great person. I know it is just a book. But I love these kinds of books and have read the author before and really enjoyed her work. So I guess maybe, just disappointed? Hopefully the MC will have some growth in book two but I don’t think I’ll be making it there. Overall? It was just okay for me.

Great Narrator
Love post apocalyptic fiction. Have read or listened to numerous books in the genre. This one was very good. Only reason I gave 4 stars on the story was I personally not so much into zombies. Even though I am more into realistic apocalyptic fiction. But I guess anything is possible

Excellent for the young reader.
The Zombie apocalypse as told by the young, naive, and lucky. Mild gore, mild sexual innuendo, and lots of crazies.

Disappointed
I loved the very well-written, exciting, zombie apocalypse Sundown Series by Courtney Konstantin. In anticipation of a similar listening experience, I spent a credit on Babysitter of the Apocalypse. Unfortunately, the story was very dull with no real direction and I had for force myself to finish. I've listened to other books narrated by Vanessa Johnson that I enjoy, but her narration of this book, in comparison, was aweful.
Sorry. It's a big NO. Take a pass on this one.
