“I could never get used to this empty feeling inside of me. I felt heartless…devoid of a soul. I felt like a monster.”

Serum Z has turned them into half humans, half zombies.

Grace can't seem to accept this. After losing control and committing the ultimate sin…murder, she finds herself on a secluded island with a few other “Zombrids” who share the same appetite.

Dr. Roberson claims he can help her, but how far will he go?

There are secrets at Everlasting Paradise. Who will escape them?

Wow

This is an exciting story. Grace has learned to deal with what she is. And coming to the island has made things much better for her. But not everything is going well. Her boyfriend left her suddenly and there are strange secrets here. This is an exciting tale.

DNF at 44%.
Not interested enough with the slow plot progression to continue putting up with the poor writing. Might pick back up later, but doubtful.

Wow! What an amazing sequel to, Turning Grace.

It starts where the first one left off. Grace is off to the Island of Costa Rica. I had a feeling something was just off with the place from the get go. There is a new cast of characters in this story. It was really cool learning about them. Knowing why they were there.

Everlasting Paradise.. Yeah it sounds to good to be true.

The character growth was great. I really did like Number One bodyguard and he thought he was doing the right thing. That he was working for honest people. There are some surprise visitors in the mix.

It raises an interesting question, would you want to be immortal?

I like that we learn more about Grace's father as well.

Davis has a talent, the way she weaves the story together. It's an excellent series. I almost hope there will be a third. I wanna know what happens!!...Lissa

I LOVED reading this!!! This book picks up where the first one left off. Grace is now on the island and acclimating to her new life along side the other Zombrids and her bodyguard Vito. However; things aren't as they seem and new revelations will blow your mind and drop your jaw wide open as we continue to learn about the serum and its creator.

J.Q. Davis continues to weave a new twist on zombies that finds you quickly being pulled in. The story line and characters are strong and well executed and the gruesome scenes contine to turn the stomach. I simply cannot wait to see where the author takes us next with this series.

I had finished the first book on one night and I got so excited when I searched the authors page to find a second book I jumped right on it. Amazing, even faster page turner. I was crying, shocked, full of sorrow and hunger right along poor grace. Now the ending was a pure shock. I just hope there is a third book because I can't wait to read more.

Awesome!

Love this sequel to Turning Grace! We get introduced to the island and its current inhabitants: Zombrids like Grace. While on the outside everything seems to be perfect, there are plot twists that’ll put you on the edge of your seat.
