About this listen

There are three phases to a zombie apocalypse... run... hide...fight. Billy was there right at the beginning when the first victim coughed over their lunch. Amanda was working as a nurse at the E.R. and Samantha was about to meet the cult behind the whole outbreak. Professor Preston, head of the CDC, tried to rally the forces of science, but found himself awaiting his execution in a junkyard.
The list of characters grows as they run, hide, and learn to fight, not just the growlers, but the forces that unleashed them.
The government tried nuking the growlers, but that just spread the infection.
They tried sending in tanks, but the infection got inside.
They tried sending in the marines, now the growlers have body armor.
Horror Paranormal Suspense

Good background noise

I think I might start writing these. Relatively predictable satisfactory anthology beginning. Would recommend because I didn’t pay for it outside my normal subscription.

Interesting take on viral warfare.

I did like how characters had their own chapters so there was no confusion. The story moved at a good pace.

Where is the rest of the series?!

I am on my second time listening to this audiobook, I wish there were the entire series on audible, I really enjoyed the storyline, but the part about the cult was silly and ridiculous. I skipped every chapter with that.

Please post the second book in this series so I have more to listen to while working great book!

Amazing start to the series

Overall this is an amazing book. Zombies are my obsession and the author provided an amazing story, multiple characters you learn to love, and hate. Well done!

Intricate storyline

I like the characters and the unexpected plot twists. All the characters are interesting- some are very likable and some very unlikable, on purpose. I am now moving on to book two.

Good story and virtual voice wasn’t horrible

I actually enjoyed this book and the only thing I wanted to hate was the virtual voice narration but the voice wasn’t bad. Pleasantly surprised and looking forward to next in the series.

I liked It! Quite a bit.

I rated the Overall higher than the Performance and Story because Virtual Voice isn't as good as a narrator. But this one was pretty good AI narraration. The story had a lot of unique aspects but it was a little too far out in one area. But overall it's a pleasurable listen.
