Wicked Awake: Happy Endings Cost Extra

Rate this book
Like malicious puppet masters, those responsible for turning humans into undead beings have one final, despicable plan in place. This sinister scheme would undoubtedly be the end of the America that we once knew. And if successful, other like minded leaders with a similar mindset plan on duplicating the strategy in their own nations.

Counting down to his final days, Marine veteran Jake Hathaway knows he can’t win this battle on his own. Will he and his band of misfits be able to mount any sort of defense to give the good people of America a fighting chance of survival? Or will those who made the country great in the first place find themselves collapsing at the feet of the same criminals who planned on eradicating and stomping on them as if they were like filthy cockroaches? Will this final installment of the series have a Happy Ending? Don’t forget; those cost extra!

What a ride! This book has it all. Action, gore, sex, comedy and a little sadness. Merrill David has outdone himself on this one. It goes to show what a great author he is. The characters are a little quirky, some are cool and some you want to punch in the face! I loved the president.(you will have to read it to understand lol). As always I look forward to the next book by this author.

"Happy endings only happen in massage parlors and they cost extra."

In the 5th and final book of the fantastic 5⭐ rated Wicked Awake series, Wicked Awake: Happy Endings Cost Extra, by brilliant demented horror author Merrill David, we get everything we wanted and more to send off our heroes.

The 1%, responsible for the undead in their failed evil "Invincible Warriors" project, have one final diabolical plan to destroy the America they claim to love and protect. What they don't expect is for super soldier, slowly turning into a super zombie, marine veteran, the truest of heroes, Jake Hathaway, fighting to stay awake until he saves the world. He knows he needs help so here comes his loyal band of misfits ready to do battle.

Once again, voice actor C.J.Grey gives his all with fierce intensity, from powerful confrontations, deadly fights, and heartbreaking farewells. In between he brings the laughter with wise ass snarkiness.

In every 5⭐ review I left for each previous audiobook, I pleaded for the most loyal Belgian Malinois, Roscoe, to survive, and (SPOILER) he's living his best life with Sarah Connors, the Doberman Pincher. I need a puppy!

With super power red squirrel zombies, flying pigs, vodka tampons (don't ask), a nod to horror icon Alfred Hitchcock, a few Easter eggs from the author's other books, and, oh yeah, zombies, this award worthy series comes to the only possible conclusion with a bang. This series is The Boys on steroids, Fallout super sized and the The Walking Dead come alive. Thank you Mr.David for keeping me wide awake and entertained for the last 4 years.

I received a free copy of this audiobook from the author for a fair and honest review. All opinions are my own.

Interesting as always. You have me on the hook for the next one. I really hope Carson is in the next one and that Pokey gets his too. Great job. - except tampons do not have wings.
