*Was given a copy from the author in exchange for my honest review*
After the cliffhanger of the first one, Mortis, I was so excited to get my hands on Retaliation! I needed answers and we get some, but of course it feels like there might be secrets behind those truths.
Miles is suspicious even though he's in a good place and I don't blame him, he's been living in hell for three years. So while Miles is trying to find his way out of this new community, Daniel is trying to get the Riven's community help with the fight against the Roves to get his home back and to save his "family". But along their way they run into trouble, find that the zombies are up to something and see that the Roves are interested for some reason.
I really enjoyed following multiple point of views. Though at first the transition from first person with Miles then third person with Daniel and Ira (a Rove slave, loved this interesting surprise), took me a little while to get used to. I wished they were all first person but being in third person, it did make it easier to fall into their chapters with it being in third. So I have mix feelings from switching from first to third. But that didn't stop me from devouring this book!
Overall I truly enjoyed this sequel! There's quite a few twists that I didn't see coming so they threw me for a loop but it definitely brought a punch, hooking me! Like, seeing someone that isn't supposed to be around because of what happened in the first one. Oh my gosh, I'm dying to know that persons story! And the twist on what's going on at their home once the Roves took over, creepy! There's a lot of shock factors in here too so be prepared for your jaws to drop! I was seriously sitting on the edge of my seat! I cannot wait for the third one! I need more answers!
If you enjoyed the first one then you'll enjoy this one! If you haven't read the first one, why haven't you? If you love action packed reads, with zombies and aliens then pick this series up!

This is the sequel to Mortis, and I received an ARC, although, I did have it on pre-order I was so looking forward to it. And I have not been disappointed. It is written from the point of view of 3 main characters, but those points of view allow us to see the stories of several secondary characters.
This is a world still trying to recover from the Mortis Desolation, when aliens came to Earth, and their viruses mixed with ours and this led to human zombies. So we have aliens, Zombies, and just to make it even worse, there are monstrous Alien Zombies (which are intelligent!) called Xenomortis – that are nearly impossible to kill.
Added to all of this – a group that is called the Roves that is slowly trying to enslave what is left of humanity.
This book has it all. The great thing is though, that it isn’t just an unintelligent blood fest, leaving you wondering how many different ways you can read how a human body can be destroyed. This is a book with an interesting plot, the creatures I have already mentioned, and some fantastic characters.
This is Rutherford’s strength, his character building. His characters are very real, in-depth, with real emotions that are believable. That is what makes this and Mortis such a great series to read – and why I will be pre-ordering the next book in the series.
With a great twist on the zombie plot, an awesome plot, and wonderful characters, this is not to be missed!!

Good read
This is some more of Logan's fine work it was a pleasure to read and I enjoyed it very much. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 was because Logan has spoiled me with all the action in his other books. Don't get me wrong there is plenty of action in this one and I think the next one is going to be great. So can't wait and thanks again Logan for your fine work.

Love it
Great book I couldn't stop reading and was a little sad when it did, since I couldn't read about these crew anymore until book three
