About this listen

A small mountain town is isolated by a snowstorm as an ancient evil, gone pandemic, turns the residents into the living dead. Almost overnight the town becomes a snowy tomb of the roaming, hungry infected.

Stranded by the weather, hiding, a small group of survivors follows the progress of the disease as society around them and around the world begins to break down.

Determined to escape, they find that the normal rules of civilization don't apply anymore. Will they be able to adapt to this strange, hungry new world?

Pretty good story

The story was typical zombie apocalypse but I do enjoy those. The narrator has a grating voice. She made it hard to listen. Hopefully this author will use someone else on the next one.

Fine as background listening when doing chores.

Decent characters and plot outline, but pacing was not great (both in the writting and the one note narration) and lack of detail at key moments made a lot of the action really confused.
The interludes where the 'history' of the infection was explored seemed completely pointless. It was like the author was told they had to give a reason for zombies so they just shoved one in. Added nothing to the story.

I liked it

I liked the narration as well as the story line and characters. When taking a break from listening, I wanted to listen again to find out what happened next. Moving on to book 2 of the series now.

Enjoyed

I good quick listen to. To the point and even a backstory within this story. Gave an insight into how this virus came to be. I would like to read book 2, yet i have to use a credit for it and not book 3 🤔 hmm.

Thank you for using a human narrator

I would have been very irritated if I had used a credit for this story. Fortunately it came as part of the membership.
This would probably be a good introduction book for the zombie apocalypse genre. Furthermore, the violence and the language was fairly tame. The storyline and foundation were somewhat standard and the outcome predictable.
I appreciate a human narrator these days. This narrator did a fine job.

Fairly stock zombie tale

While I enjoyed this book, I do have to say that it's a fairly stock zombie tale. Both the characters and the story are good but not great.

I'll continue with the series in the hopes that it becomes a bit more unique as it progresses.

Meh. It was just ok

This book is ok for a newbie in the genre. I found myself zoning out from time to time. The storyline didn’t keep me engaged.

Terrible book

Dont waste your time. There are way better zombie books out there. This one is pootly written and has a subpar storyline at best. Not worth the time.
