Cadaver 7
Two teenagers find a frozen corpse in the middle of the woods and decide to bring it back to town. They have no idea they just sparked the zombie apocalypse. In the morgue below the hospital, the dead begin waking up and attacking the living. The infection spreads rapidly, turning the place into a slaughterhouse as those inside fight to survive against the undead. As the situation escalates, authorities are forced to seal off the building in an attempt to contain the spread of the virus. But it may already be too late...

Great ending!
A very original.twist for a zombie series. I have to say the author was quite imaginative. The ending was smooth and conclusion.
I highly recommended this zombie series.
I gave it a four as a lot of grammar mistakes. Hopefully in his upcoming series it is corrected.

I really got sucked into this series. Very creative take on the zombie apocalypse with some Norse mythology! I was always on the edge of my seat wanting to know what happens next. I enjoyed all of the characters, I can't believe I was even rooting for a cannibal for a bit there. They were all just very interesting, even the bad ones.

what an ending.
I really admire the way the author pulled all those threads together at the end and his unique take on the end on the world, so different to each of his other series, and poles apart from many of the other zombie apocalypse books. Nick Clausen is an amazing writer and I sincerely hope he can find more stories to weave his magic on. I’d certainly buy them!

Great zombie tale
Having read many Zombie stories, I can say I usually lose interest in ones with multiple books. Not this time!!! This story holds your interest book to book. I enjoyed the characters and how they interact. Thank you for the Zombie ride!!

Botched proofreading
Story was as good as the others, so it should have been 4 stars but, sadly, the proofreading seems to have been done so fast that it's like there weren't any! The more we get near the end, the more botched it was! So many typos it was painful to read, sometimes...
That's why I gave only 3 stars, it shouldn’t have been out, clearly not ready, yet.

This was my least favorite of the books. It felt like some stretches were made to connect everything together. I still enjoyed the series overall.

Sometimes the end is much more than a bang!
Nick Clausen does an excellent job bringing the Cadaver series to a conclusion with Cadaver 7. Along with tying up loose ends from the six previous books, he once again introduces revelations that were unexpected to say the least. I’m not sure what I was expecting the end would be like, but it wasn’t anything like what I experienced as I listened to Cadaver 7. What Nick and Spencer provided was way more than I could have anticipated. In a few cases heroes were revealed, sniveling cowards and the deceitful even had their day. Speaking of heroes, those you least expect to step-up seem the most authentic and in this story this holds true. Ne of tee days I’m going to binge listen to this series. Once again Spencer Dillehay does an excellent job of bringing the story and characters to life. Over the previous six books I thought I had heard Spencer’s full range of storytelling, but in this book, he surprised me by painting such a vivid picture of a series of scenes I truly felt like I was accompanying the character on their quest.
On one hand I’m glad to see the series conclude, but it is bittersweet having gotten very invested in these characters over the seven books. I could only wish another apocalypse could befall them so I could travel along with them as they fight to survive.

Insatisfactorio.
Siento odio y no logro calmarlo.
Para mí hay cosas que me hacen decir ¿Cuál era la necesidad? Y no sé qué hacer con el la insatisfacción que siento.
Primero : esperé 5 libros para que Anna supiera que su hija estaba viva y 6 para que estuvieran juntas para que me hagas esta cochinada en este libro.
Y segundo la pe**a de Marit, cuál era la necesidad del capítulo 30. No estoy de acuerdo y tampoco estoy de acuerdo con ese final para ella, fue impactante porque lo hizo Oliver pero fue muy meeh para todo lo malo que ella hizo.
Me gustó que ella se juntara con Kris. Que inútil el donante de Anna, de verdad sabía que no iba a hacer nada ese tipo (no recuerdo el nombre) pero se paso a lo feo.
Me gustó que le dió un buen final a la relación familiar de Askel. Mi niño merece felicidad.
Que buen final tuvo kjell después de lo hizo, eso sí fue satisfactorio no cómo lo de Marit.
Y estuvo buena la historia del draug, ella creí en ti desde que te conocí.

I really enjoyed this series. It was a great take on the zombie genre and unlike other books, Nick Clausen was able to keep them dangerous. There was no "I'll just run around the slow ones" type dialogue, they always posed a threat to the characters.
The story is based on Norse mythology and the outcome of disturbing a burial site which contained a Draug. Long story short, the Draug cursed someone and it spread. I will definitely be reading Nick Clausens other zombie series as I was very impressed with this.
My only gripe. I want to read an apocalyptic book where humanity loses! But that isn't his fault, obviously.
If you're a fan of zombie books, this series is definitely worth reading.

Wow. What a read. Great series. Couldn’t put the books down. You would never know that English is the author’s second language these books are so well written.
So glad the baddies got their comeuppance but such a shame they took out some great characters beforehand.
I wanted more! An epilogue! Just to find out how the main characters lives panned out.
I only found 3 continuity errors in the whole series which for a series of 7 books is amazing (I’m a picky so and so when it comes to continuity errors 😂).
Thoroughly recommend Nick Clausen if you like this genre.
Incidentally when I went out to feed the hedgehogs and it was pitch black in the garden and I heard them snuffling all I could think about was zombies in the bushes 😂.

Audiobook: I found book seven to be as thrilling as the first six books in the series. I was entertained by this story. I thought the whole series was amazing, but I was sad also as my imagination won't be drawn into this fictional world any longer. I liked all the surprising twists and almost unceasing action which kept this story in constant flux. I admired Spencer Dillehay's narration throughout the series as his performance always kept me entertained. I was gifted a copy of the audiobook. I volunteered, without financial gain, to leave a review which expressed my honest opinions about the story.

This is gonna be a quick review. Over all the series was pretty good. It started off amazing then slowly slipped all the way down to meh.
This last book in particular was rushed and sloppy. Between the editing mistakes to the missing characters. What exactly happened to Ella’s dad? There’s no mention of him leaving. He’s just gone. And Merit, well she got off easy, she’s up there with my list of hated characters I’ve ever read.
There was just too many loose ends left to this story, in my opinion.
Like I said this last book felt rushed.

Really liked this series. Decent amount of characters that had a pretty good characteristics, and you never knew who was next to die. But man this last book was rough to get through. All the people I began reading about just seemed slightly off, to a point I didn’t care about them anymore. I was just reading the book to get to the end. Hate that feeling and hate it for the author. Feel like he was kinda burnt out because even the ending was just goofy imo. It just didn’t feel like that type of ending belonged to what was going on, but it is what it is. Fun series until the end.

Well, unfortunately all good things come to an end!
This series certainly isn't the first I've read of Nick's and it definitely won't be the last, especially since I'm patiently waiting for the next installation of Invaders lol. This was such a a fantastic series, just like Dead Meat. Yes, it's another zombie series but so different was the cause. And that's why this series was fantastic. Please take my word for it. Purchase or borrow, whichever you choose, you will be entertained! Thank you very much Nick, again, for the delightfully wicked read!

“A veces, para ver la verdad, es necesario que todo lo demás desaparezca” y así sucede en este gran cierre de la historia, en el cual el autor mezcla emotividad, terror y lo que más le gustó es la parte mitológica del origen de la infección, creo que es muy original y un recurso poco utilizado en la ficción de zombis.
Los personajes no han decepcionado en esta conclusión, amando a unos y odiando a otros, lo que quiere decir que están bien construidos.
Otra gran serie de muertos vivientes!

The End
I was wondering halfway through if this was the finale. It is. This was a good series. I was always waiting for the next book to come out. I would've likes a bit more at the end. Plus I wanted to know what became of Maritz. I wanted her to get what she had coming, She was selfish throughout the entire story. This is my only issue, not knowing. Otherwise, good series.

A kind of happy ending to a zombie apocalypse?! Interesting. It's a first for me. The narrator, Spencer Dillehay, did a fantastic job with all these characters and bringing them to life. I enjoyed the mythology of the drug and was hoping for a huge battle, but I was ok with the ending and will check out the other series Clausen has.

Good series
The book was really nice. Still kinda butthurt they killed the only two black in the entire country. But it was nice some things felt rushed but overall very engaging, and the characters you love are enduring. I like the ending and the visualizations without being oversaturated in detail.

This is now officially a full series! And i really enjoyed reading it. A zombie series that is in my „favorites“ list.
I liked the ending, and most of all i liked that there is one 🤭🤭🤭 after binging the walking dead and never finishing it, this felt like a solace.

This series was great! I enjoyed it immensely. I didn't notice it in the first 6 books, but this one had so many grammatical errors - it was as if it hadn't been edited at all. So 4 stars for the last book due to that...
December 27, 2024
Highly enjoyable series with relatable characters. I'll continue to live in this fictional world, luckily only in my head, for the next few days. Book 7 pulls together all the strands from the last six books in a way that is original, complete, and satisfying.

Done! Whew!
It was a great series from a well polished author.
The ending was what I’d hoped for… in a way.
Read it. The whole series, including the extra story.
Thanks Nick!

Different than I expected!
I liked that this was more supernatural than some form of virus. It made the whole thing different from standard. And it was cool seeing how everything and everyone came together. Takes some patience to get through but still pretty good.

This was a really good story.
Plenty of interesting characters, good and bad.
Now I’m going to go read the prequel book, Draug.
