GRAVEPULSE: Hunted
Book 1 of 1: GRAVEPULSE
By Ms. R. Richards
March 2, 2025 | 337 pages
Star Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Dread Factor: 💀💀💀
Trigger Warnings: Loss of family, gore, violence, child endangerment, attempted assault, cannibalism, psychological trauma
What Did I Just Walk Into?
Zombie apocalypse? Check. Cannibals? Yep. Whispering undead that mimic your dead mom’s voice to lure you to your doom? Oh, we’re going there. This book threw me headfirst into a nightmare soup of grief, guts, and grit—served with a side of crossbow bolts and barely-contained trauma.
Sixteen-year-old Alex Taylor isn’t just the main character; she’s the de facto adult, emotional punching bag, and full-time zombie-slayer for the poor souls she finds along the way. She’s been through hell and didn’t even get a T-shirt—just the constant whisper of her dead mom trying to gaslight her into becoming walker chow.
Here’s What Slapped
Ms. R. Richards took the post-apocalyptic trope and added a wicked twist: the zombies talk. Not just groans or shrieks—we’re talking full-on mimicry of loved ones’ voices to psychologically mess you up. Yeah. That’s the emotional gut punch I didn’t know I needed.
Alex’s character is a full-on war cry in human form. She carries grief, rage, guilt, and responsibility like she’s got the apocalypse on her back—and she still finds time to try and save everyone. Even when humans turn out to be worse than the actual zombies (shocker).
The pacing? Savage. The action? Relentless. The emotional damage? Oh, she’s serving it raw.
What Could’ve Been Better
JUSTIN. I mean, what even was that arc? Tease me with emotional bonding and then leave me hanging like a broken swing set in the wasteland? 🤫
Vibe Check
The Last of Us meets The Hunger Games if Katniss was haunted by her dead mom and morally done with everyone’s BS. Trauma. Action. Found family. Nightmares with teeth.
Perfect for Readers Who Love
📖 Young adult apocalypse with actual stakes
📖 Characters who suffer emotionally and physically
📖 Gritty survival horror with heart
📖 Whispering zombies (yes, that’s a whole vibe now)
📖 Found family that feels more real than your group chat
