If you are into zombies, you will really like this story. It's very twisted and dark. I thoroughly enjoyed John Stearn's first book!

I enjoyed how this story just kept me guessing. I enjoy a book that has twists and turns, that tie back into themselves. It is always frustrating to get to the end of a big and think, " but what ever happened with x?". Mr Stearn brings all of his pieces together, even though you may get a bit impatient for him to get there. In a good way.
Not a traditional zombie story, but well worth the time to read.

Excellent start to this book, had me gripped. Love a good zombie fest & the Bishop family story was great. Never going to win any awards but well worth the read, if like me you like blood & guts.
