Review:

After reading the book summary I thought it sounded like a great new zombie book. I haven't read many zombie books but have seen my fair share of zombie movies. This book is a refreshing twist on your regular zombie story lines. It starts off very quick with the reader wonder what happened to ten year old son, Alex. His parents don't have a lot of money and didn't want to take him to the hospital so they called in a Dr they know to make a house call. Soon enough John puts the pieces together and realizes Alex is the walking dead and has infected one person who has now infected their whole town. Angela has mental problems and is pushed to the edge when her son "dies" she will do anything and I mean anything to keep him alive.

This book is fast paced but I did find a spot where I felt it slowed down a bit. By the end it definitely picked back up and gave me an ending that I wasn't really expecting. John had a lot of obstacles to face to save his family from the walking dead, even though his son was where it all began.

The book wasn't too gruesome that I had problems continuing but there were moments where I was like ewww. How far would you go for the ones you love? If you like zombies and want to try a new storyline this one may be just right for you.

I give this book a 3.75 out of 5 stars.
