Odium X: A Post-apocalyptic romance: The Dead Saga

by Claire C. Riley, Amy Jackson (Editor)

'Book 10 in the heart-racing post-apocalyptic series by USA Today Bestselling Author Claire C. Riley... Everything we know must change.'



Trapped miles from home in a warehouse crawling with a new breed of undead, Mikey, Cam, and Scotty are fighting tooth and nail to survive. Back on the storm-battered island, however, everyone already thinks they're dead.



As the islanders and mainlanders are forced to live side by side, tension crackles beneath the surface. Gladys may have sparked a war between them for her own selfish ends—but now, with supplies gone and the power knocked out by the storm, neither side can afford to stay divided.



In a world ruled by the dead and the ruthless, enemies must become allies. Because something far worse is coming.
No one saw this new threat is rising.
No one is ready.
And this time… not everyone will survive.

[Kaye Springett · Rating 4 out of 5]

Absolutely love these books from where the story started to where it is now is it’s been an emotional rollercoaster and one I’m so glad I took a chance on other wise I would have missed this incredible story
I can’t even begin to describe the things Nina & Mikey
Have been through most is unimaginable but so believable you just can’t put them down
Bring on book Xl

Errors

Still a good story but had a lot more errors than the other books and a lot of repetitive ideas. The main character says something like pretending the dead don't walk the earth then the next paragraph says pretending zombies don't walk the earth then something about the dead again.

Hooked

This, by far, is one of the best series I have read. Read book ten in less than 3 days. Can't wait for book 11!!!
