This Is Not What I Wished For...

by Jay Korza

Birthdays are supposed to be one of the best days of a person’s year; but when your father is eaten alive in front of you, all that happiness goes right out the window.

On the day a boy is supposed to become a man, his entire world is turned upside down as everyone he knows is transformed into insatiable flesh-eating monsters. In an attempt to save his mother and sister's life, he flees their home to lead the cadaverous creatures away. The boy's act of gallantry won't be his last as he embarks on a journey fraught with danger, death and sacrifice. To become a man, the boy will have to face these challenges while protecting and leading a group of child-survivors through the nightmare that has become their reality.

I'm a huge fan of zombie books, and my collection is quite extensive. I've spent years building it. And I have to say, this is quite possibly one of my favorites.

The characters were incredible. I loved them. They had so much depth to them. The storyline was amazing. There were a couple times I had to put the book down because I was scared of what was coming next. I love it when a book can keep me guessing, and this one did. It's been a long time since I have been shocked by a book, but this one did it.

This is a book that I would definitely read again.

Jay Korza's first book, "Extinction" as well as his newest effort, "This Is Not What I Hoped For..." are not in the same genre, & have very little in common. Unless you consider... they are Both.. Brilliantly Written, Science Fiction, Adventure, Fantasy, Horror Novels with Memorable Characters which Definitely should be added to EVERYONE'S, "Too damned good to put down" List!

This book is about four kids who lost everything and struggle to survive in an apocalypse while fighting off zombies. This is the only book I've read by Jay Korza, but I definitely like his style of writing and his ability to draw you in on the first page. He brings his characters and the story to life and it was hard for me to stop reading.
