Deadlock
Next Generation Indie Books Award Winner
Indie Reader Discovery Awards Winner for Best Action/Adventure
Cities are in ruins, supplies are scarce, and brains are on the menu. To survive, Jeremiah will need his wits, a little bit of luck, and lots of ammo.
Before Deadbreak—the day three years ago when the dead rose from their graves—the idea of spending my days outrunning animated corpses and contemplating how to properly season rodents wasn't exactly on my radar. But here we are. The world has turned upside down, and I've had to learn new skills. Archery. Looting. Melee combat against bandits and the occasional cannibal. Most of the meaningful conversations I have are with my dog. Don't judge. It sure beats chatting up your neighbor when he's missing his tongue and cerebellum is his staple food. Somehow, through a combination of blind luck and a strong desire to give the zombie apocalypse the finger, I've survived this long. My goal is to make it to the Pacific coast, find my daughter, and create some semblance of a new life. Minus that middle finger. Pretty sure someone's eaten it by now.

Daaaaaaaaaamn
Love the storyline and all the action up to this point. Can’t wait for the chance to read book number three.

My first zombie book(s)!
I have never wanted to read any thing that had zombies in it. BUT I am so very glad that I decided to try one.
The first two of series are full of most things apocalyptic but the main characters and bit players are three dimensional. People that I want to know and hang out with.
I found myself laughing out loud more than once.
And there is a dog! As a main character!
It is really worth your time to read this series.
I may even read another zombie book in future.
I will certainly read more of J Sanchez novels.

Great zombie series
This series is fantastic. I read Deadbreak when it was originally released and was thrilled when the author finally wrote a sequel. If you enjoy zombie stories you will not be disappointed.

I was so excited to see another story came after Deadbreak! Jeremiah Reed kicks butt and takes names with a quick quippy wit that had me laughing out loud. The narrator is the cherry on top, he brings this story to life. Hurry up and get the next one out!

I couldn't put this book down. I would recommend to anyone who likes action with a lot of humour thrown in.

I had given up hope that we would get a book two. It was excellent, I loved it, I can't wait to read the next one. Please don't wait 8 years. I'm an old woman and I might not make it that long...
