Undead Rising: A Zombie Apocalypse Thriller
When the world bites, the only sane thing to do is bite back.After narrowly escaping a city teeming with hordes of hungry zombies and beating a small-town preacher bent on domination, Cooper Kane is exhausted. Unfortunately, he doesn’t have any time to rest.
Staying alive during the zombie apocalypse has left Cooper and his small band of survivors with next to nothing — aside from a couple of new allies and the knowledge that someone has invented a medicine that keeps the zombies away.
But the apocalypse is just getting started, and zombies are still a very real threat.
Their goal now is to get some of this zombie repellent for themselves, and ask the makers exactly how they knew the zombie apocalypse was coming in the first place.
But the road ahead is lined with obstacles, most of which have sharp teeth and an insatiable appetite for human flesh. To make matters worse, someone is following Cooper’s group of survivors. Someone undead … and viciously intelligent.

Good story and worth the read
Overall I enjoyed reading the first two parts of this series. I think the author should delve a little deeper into the characters, such as the bad man in Strawberry, and don’t imperil our heroes quite so quickly after escaping a threat. I need a breath and so do they. In part two the author adds more nuances than in the first so I expect each chapter to grow the overall story. Doggett definitely has the makings of a great apocalyptic series, and I look forward to part three.

I am really enjoying this Zombie apocalypse. Undead Rising is book two in Matthew Doggett's trilogy Undead Apocalypse. I enjoyed this almost as much as the first, but I could not give this one a 5 star. With the addition of the one element in the town of Strawberry, the author lost me for a bit. I love the characters, good and bad, except for this one. Otherwise, I like where the story is leading us, and now I move on to book three.

Undead Rising: A Zombie Apocalypse Thriller (Undead Apocalypse Book 2): This zombie story continues where Book 1 left and does not disappoint. While on a journey, Cooper and his mom Candace, along with other characters, continue to battle all types of zombies and other human threats. It is a fast-paced, thrilling story that I could easily see branching out as part of The Walking Dead Universe on television. I'm looking forward to reading book 3.

This was really excellent! If I could I would give it more stars! I loved every minute of it! I finished it in no time at all, as everything about it just hit the spot for me. Light moments of humour, great action, enjoyable characters as well as a great storyline. I do strongly recommend!

Very Action Filled, Fast Paced, Need to Read MORE!!
Excellent second entry into the series. Brought up so many excellent elements, and is so far sticking to a realistic timeline.
I’m avoiding any spoilers… so I’ll simply say this is a fun read for zombie apoc fans.
Enjoy!

🧟♂️Zombie fans will eat this up. Another amazing story. Book 2 continues Cooper, Leroy, and Candace's story. A gripping zombie apocalypse with a lot of emotions and downright horrifying scenes.

Good read, good zombie action
Lots of activity from multiple sources, but easy to track who is where and doing what. Author does a good job with the visuals.

So many oh no moments in this book. Suspense, action, and the adventures the main characters went on meant many late nights reading because I couldn't put the book down.

Amazing! The pace of this book keeps you locked in and hungering for more once you’re finished. There were several times that I actually gasped out loud! So good!

DNF'd at 42% just wasn't for me I felt it was just the same things kept happening

This was a really good read-lots of unique characters and takes on zombies. The amount of roller coasters in this book rivals amusement parks! But it was a fun ride and I can’t wait to read the next book of the series.
