Book 3 Spoiler This book description contains spoilers, if you have not read Zomb-Pocalypse 1 & 2, reading this description will ruin a huge plot twist in the first two books. Jane has found the cabin, her best friend Abby, and most surprisingly, her parents–but now the hard part begins. For over a month, Jane has survived on the road amid flesh eating monsters with no one to tell her what to do, but now she has her parents hovering over her, stifling her every movement. They want to treat her like their little girl, but the Apocalypse has forced her to grow up in so many ways that she just cannot go back. Surviving day to day on the road was hard, but building a life for themselves will be an even bigger challenge. Winter is starting to settle in, faster every day, and the group finds themselves in a life or death race to gather food and ensure the safety of the cabin from dead that seem to pop up everywhere. Nothing is truly safe. Hard lessons are learned through deadly mistakes, friendships are strained to their near breaking point, and it could all be for nothing …
This series is definitely getting better by each book, the 1st book just about got its DNF claws into me because I didn’t like the main character Jane, but the 2nd and this book she’s definitely come into her own instead of the whiney cheerleader she was.
The angst levels have increased too which I’m all for, all of these characters have narrowly missed the clutches of the zombies.
Jane decided which boy she was gravitating towards more in this book too, and the other was dumped in the friends zone category. Loved her choice.
My review may contain spoilers for those that have not read the previous books. ***
After reaching the cabin and finding her family and friends alive, Jane is back to being treated like her old self by her parents. Not like the girl who grew up traveling halfway across the country fighting for her life against flesh eating zombies. She will have to prove to her parents that she can be of help in this new dying world. All while she will navigates these new feelings concerning Silas.
I have loved seeing where Berry is taking this story and how she has Jane’s character growing daily. I loved the new revelation of feelings between Jane and Silas. They are the cutest and I am rootin’ hard for them to win in the end.
This series has been amazing and I have quickly flew through each story. I didn’t want to fall so hard for it since the author has practically went radio silent since the first of the year on social media and I wasn’t sure if book 5 concludes the series. Guess we will see once I get there.
If you haven't read the first 2 books, beware :there be spoilers arr!
I'm extremely happy with the direction the author is taking the story, more focused on survival and the zombies than a never ending evil versus good people that's pretty common in most zombie fiction.
I mean, why read zombie fiction if not for the zombies? If I wanna read a good versus evil people story I'll pick up another genre of apocalyptic fiction, I'm reading zombie fiction for the zombies..
Jane is a brave little chipmunk! She isn't afraid to put her life at risk to save her friends and family and she's slowly getting better at the survival lifestyle.
I was expecting her parents to go into nuclear overprotective meltdown mode and I was correct but also pleased that even though they get treated like little kids again that the "grown-ups" start to slowly see that survival works best if everyone's working together.
The cliffy wasn't too bad on this one and I can't wait to read the next book.
This was a really good series. There were some errors like misplaced quotation marks and the "breath" a few times when it should have said "breathe." But it didn't detract from the story and I really liked it. Jane's parents annoyed the shit out of me but I guess that's understandable. Jane was much less annoying in the second and third books. I disagree with her choice of boyfriend but I totally saw it coming. One thing that pisses me off is that it ended on a cliffhanger and I haven't found the fourth book yet. Hopefully it's there and I just missed it.
I've really have come to enjoy this series. The read is exciting and the characters are like your own family. It's a good enjoyable zombie book. One thing I have especially enjoyed is not much about the military. I get tired of how so many zombie books constantly use the military and usually in a bad light. This is more of several different families coming together to survive as one. I'm really looking forward to the 4th book. I think this book would also be a good read for the teenager group. Lots of Gore and zombie stuff, but also not too adult for teenagers to enjoy, or parents to worry about.
I had a hard time putting down the series. Overall, the series was really good. I am looking forward to the fourth book. I hope that it becomes available soon.
