I received Adderwald through Goodreads giveaway on 1/22.

I first judged Adderwald by the cover, which I know is frowned on... but it's gorgeous. I expected a steampunk zombie novel. It's not. What it is is a well written, if a bit brief, novella. At 55 pages, it ended just when it was getting good. That being said, I want to read the second book.


The book starts with a vomit-worthy scene of zombie hunter training where the characters have to rub "zombie innards" on themselves to mask their human scent and continues with graphic action scenes. I like that this story doesn't focus on the beginning outbreak but is set decades after the first attacks in a world where humans have learned to survive in caves.

I would recommend this series to those who enjoy zombie stories and have limited time. Just looked it up, it's $0.99 on amazon kindle or $3.99 print and it's well worth that... I would have given it an extra half star but goodreads doesn't allow that. That half of a star is for making me wait for the second book.

Marita Fowler has written a very good short story here.

Ariella is poised to be a hunter. When a new law comes into effect her intentions change and she is "Adderwald".

Looking forward to next story in series.

My only regret is that it wasn't longer! I can't wait for the next books in the series!

Won this book with Good Reads Giveaway. I gave a low rating only due to it being 5 chapter book with 55 pages. I will give to my 11 year old son to read I think he will enjoy alot more than I did.
