sorry not very good
I have read a lot of this style of fiction and it is with regret that I say “back to the drawing board”. I found this book unreadable after 4 chapters the character building was almost non existent, the story line had so many holes it was like a colander, the action and suspense was just not there. I feel very cruel to the author giving this review as I appreciate the hard work that goes into creating a book, but the bottom line is this book is just not very good.

For The audiobook:
Narrator was just average. I stopped the book at 2:02 into it. It was just boring, no way I'm listening to the full 6:17.
There's just no drama to anything that happens. He made hiding from zombies and fighting to find his gf boring. What was even her great hiding spot?????

Thhis book shares a chilling take on the zombie genre, influenced by its authentic British era scenaries and relatable characters. It's a solid, atmospheric read for fans of survival horror and those looking for a fresh, local twist on a familiar theme 👏
