A zombie apocalypse with subtle biblical references and
prophecy, written with moving scenes of death and horror, keeps the story
moving at a fast pace. I don’t really like zombies; they seem too unbelievable
to me. In this story, however, they are quite a bit different, moving faster,
having some intellect, and posing a little more difficult to kill because of
it. Yet they don’t like light, so that creates a way to defeat them also.
The zombies I can get used to, but the debauchery of the
people is disturbing to me. I get that it is most likely to happen, at least
all the stories generally present that scenario, but it does not entertain me
to read about it, so I could have done without that. I also had a hard time
following where the characters were going and how they really escaped some
situations. I couldn’t form a clear picture in my brain of the setup or the
movement in a lot of cases.
The story was unique, though, and held its own. I would want to read the next book, to continue following the characters and what happens, to the end. I would just have to skip over any more wickedness or horror, but I don't see a book 2 available, so if you read this, don't be disappointed with no real ending. I had to give this a 3 out of 5 stars.
