What Are Peeps Sayin'?
"It's funny, sad, horrifying and amazing." - Zombie Book Blog (#zombie)
"Zombie 2.0 is an odd mix of intellectual writing with dumb characters. It's quirky and will leave readers with a goofy grin on their face." - The Bookie Monster (Zombie 2.0)
"The story keeps getting better, the characters are hilarious, and the writing is just great." - Lady Hopkins (Alpha Zombie)
# In a normal house in the English suburbs Ven, a mother and world class hacker, presses enter on her keyboard and Armageddon is unleashed. She loses almost everything with that fateful keystroke.
The largest Web hack ever performed has devastating repercussions as it all goes horribly wrong. Designed to compromise the world's connected devices, the zombie botnet delivers subliminal data packets via social media and more - in an afternoon most of the world is either infected or eaten.
Now it is a fight for survival for Ven and her baby. Kyle, her one and only friend, and her faithful tubby Labrador Boscoe, help navigate the apocalyptic nightmare that is now their world.
The problem is Ven has never used a gun in her life, has no idea how to kill a zombie, and finds it hard to leave the house without doing her make-up.
Let's just say it gets interesting, and leave you to find out the rest, in this totally unique zombie novel series that will leave you too scared to ever use a hashtag again.
Zombie 2.0: In Zombie 2.0 the infected are leaner, meaner and certainly not cleaner.
Al, all 6' 7" of him, teams up with the survivors of the zombie apocalypse as they try to find a safe refuge and make sense of the nightmare world Ven created. Al's Pervasive Developmental Disorder, Not Otherwise Specified (PDD-NOS) causes its own unique set of issues for the gang - if one more person asks him if he is Dutch, just because he speaks funny, he might just explode.
The Web is still a no-go zone, but it doesn't stop those that can somehow get a connection from going on Twitter to see if anyone is doing anything cool.
As the world burns and the brains are eaten, hashtags and timelines still lure the remnants of the world's population. What's the first thing you do when your boyfriend gets eaten by his mom? Update your Facebook relationship status, of course!
Be prepared for new adventures in wet Wales, bad jokes courtesy of Al, and depressing observations on the human condition.
Alpha The group take to the road in an effort to stay safe, and decide there is one thing missing - guns. No easy thing to obtain in the strictly controlled UK.
So the mission is planned, the sandwiches are made, the new transport revved up.
Only problem is the infected are getting smart, the world continues to degenerate, and they haven't counted on the beginnings of the hivemind.
Something new is Alpha Zombie.

Read book 1 only and thoroughly enjoyed the different approach to 'zombies' if that's what they were. It seemed the infection was spread via the Internet and was therefore unstoppable. I was unpleasantly surprised by the sudden ending, but then realised it was the first part of a series. However, in the sample of Book 2 that was given, no mention of what happened to the main protagonist, so forced to conclude that she was eaten - but by her baby who was too young to have teeth? Does not compute (sorry). Otherwise a very good read.

Nice twist on how the apocalypse starts. Started a little slow, but overall a good read.

Just read the 1st book. Weird story line of people getting infected from the internet, but fun.

May 2, 2016A lot of what was going on with the characters felt like it was being drill into your head by being repeated over and over. Not the best thing that I have ever read.
