I didn't even know this came out until I was doing my Amazon wishlist for Christmas. There it was. Plain as day. How I missed it, I have no idea. Anyway, I waited patiently in case it was gifted. It was. Otherwise, I would have ordered a copy on December 26th.
The Eden series is hands down one of the best zombie series I have read. Any fans of that genre need to buy the series or borrow the books from a friend.
When going into Monchinski's work prepare to abandon all hope before entering. He tosses away the idea of happily ever after for every lead character and is willing to kill off any character at any point. Don't let the build up fool you. Prepare to be shocked, frustrated, and even annoyed when the characters you pull for the most are killed suddenly.
Is this a good thing? You bet it is. No punches are pulled. You can't rely on anything. The prince might or might not save the princess and kill the dragon. Instead, the dragon might rape the prince and eat the princess. OK. No dragons or nobility are in this book. That was my shot at an analogy.
Anyway, Moriah picks up at the end of the third story. The sole survivor meets up with another group of survivors who could for most intents be considered good guys. Unfortunately, the survivor has two groups behind her who are not forgiving of the actions it took for her to survive and wish to avenge the deaths of their friends and family. Violence and mayhem follow as humans, mutants, and the living dead do their best to kill one another.
The end? Well, I can accept it. It worked for me. I didn't really feel that anything else needed to be explained or resolved. The main characters who left either went on to live somewhere else or died after leaving. If it's something we really need to know, maybe there will be a fifth novel. Is it necessary to have one? No. Would I buy it if it was written? Hell yes!
In the meantime, I have the first of Monchinski's I Kill Monsters series to tide me over on his work. Cheers!

Another great installment in the Eden series.
I love how he has no qualms about killing major characters. His descriptions are spot on, so detailed and nuanced that I had no trouble visualizing the people, the zombies, the mutants, the battles, the scenes.
This whole series is highly recommended, from the first book Eden to this, the fourth installment.

Very good book but not as good as the previous so it was a little bit of a let down. There needs to be another one!
