The premise is cool. Like really, it's cool. I've yet to see a zombie series that features bikers as the main group of survivors.
The writing feels like it's a step up up compared to the first book of This Rotten World.
The author takes a general "GoT" approach to characters. This is prevalent throughout the author's This Rotten World series. While I don't mind this, it makes it hard to root for characters because you'll never know which ones survive to the end of a book.
At times it feels like there's too many characters and therefore too many voices to have to bump between which got a bit confusing to me at times.
The author doesn't really write female characters well. In this one, the three main women feel to me like they share the same bitterness as a main attribute. One is bitter because she's in a relationship she doesn't like, one uses her sexuality to her advantage but is bitter over not being part of the gang, the third is bitter towards men in general. At least none of the main cast of females are helpless damsels or serve only as sex objects, so there's that at least.
3 stars. I took my time with it, and I liked it, but the rather one dimensional characters and not really caring for any of the main cast held it back for me.
Oh my goodness!!!! Jacy Morris! And to think I didn’t expect this book to be as good as the previous in TRW series! I was right. It’s even better! I mean is that even possible!!
I literally couldn’t put this book down so I read it in two days!!!!
It’s exciting, it’s fun, it’s gripping and is truly a treat to read!
No spoilers! I just recommend you pick any of JM’s books and read away, but especially TRW series! You will not be disappointed!!!!
Setting the scene of an annual bike meet-up in a quiet-ish town where the residents would normally be away for a weekend while it was going on.
The story unfolds with the meet and how everyone who comes into contact with the area for whatever reason becomes drawn in and affected by each incident that happens.
Paths cross and by the end, only the ones that believe and think enough about what is actually occurring survive to the next book.
Don’t get me wrong, there re a couple of points in the book where I think ‘wow, really?!’, but they are soon swept away as you read through.
Overall, this is a good book, an easy read and sets the scene for the follow on
