This was one of the first series that got me into the whole zombie apocalypse genre. Few other series rise to the level of this one, though. There are subplots full romance, heartbreak, political intrigue, and more. I was afraid that I'd be lost after the long hiatus as so often happens, but it didn't happen. Somehow Achord makes you feel as if you've just closed the page from the last book before opening the next, even if it's been a year or so in between. Maybe that's because his characters are fleshed out so well. Shrug. I'm just glad that I got my Rules fix, and I'm hoping that it won't be so long for Book 10 to come out after that cliffhanger ending.

I love this series and just finished this last installment. Not one of my favorite in the story. Maybe because it was mentioned to put some questions to rest or wrap up loose ends. I felt rushed with some characters I don’t remember or cared about in the last few chapters. Could this be a set up for another installment? If so, then yes. But if it’s not. I will be satisfied that will be it. Maybe this series has run its course. I always want to know what is going on at mountain weather. But not if it will be a cheap imitation of its self. The ending did give me something to hope for though. Maybe it can redeem this book. I enjoyed it and felt somethings were rushed. Just that.

I was so happy to see one of my favourite authors had written another book in one of my top 3 book series . I cried tears of joy . Reading this one had me laughing , crying and heart broken .
Oh the ending wow . I have been unable to put this down
I will wait a week and start at book one again !
I hope we will see more book coming soon ! I feel like this could go places .
Definitely had some up to date views and included some real life situations ( COVID )
Please give us more !

Great series, entertaining and easily believable

Straightforward writing style with a solid amount of character building. Each book builds well on the prior. Only very minor inconsistencies that do not affect the storyline. I am eagerly waiting number 10, and recommended this series to other friends and teachers!

Excellent!

Argh! Coït interrompu! When I started this series, I thought there were 9 books till the final. I'm pretty sure I was wrong. There's still at least a possibility for another one. And probably more. I hope so!

Another hit!

Mr. Acord's done it again! This zombie book kept me up way past bedtime. The characters totally suck you in - you'll be laughing one minute and tearing up the next. Seriously, the whole series is a must-read.

Great read. However I felt as though a lot more happened plot-wise in the other 8 books then in this one. I'm hoping this is building up to a more plot-heavy and action packed book 10!

I love this entire series especially book 9 except the serial killer from zfinity wasn’t Jeffery Thompson it was Anthony Tonya’s brother

Two and a half to three stars.

I don't really know what to say except I am only staying with this series out of curiosity.
