Been hooked to this series since I first discovered Joseph "Zombie" Zuko's work. There is something about the narrator, Tom Bishop's voice that makes these books more fun. Just love how he chooses to use his voice for the characters, as it is a different take than what I am used to.
This episode was (as usual) exciting, and Zuko puts a great spin on what the Zombies capabilities are.
Hopefully, I will not have to wait as long for episode #7 to be released on audible. As I often say, listening to these is just much more enjoyable.:)

LOVE LOVE LOVE this series!
Yet again Joseph Zuko has done a fine job of causing me to lose all track of time. I start reading one of his books and before I know it half the day is over. I love Zombie apocalypse stories and this series is the best I have ever read. I enjoy reading about Jim, Karen, the girls and the rest of the cast of characters and what they have to do each day to survive. Start with Book 1 and you won't be sorry!!

They keep getting better!
I was so excited for book 6 and wow this one did not disappoint! It was full of excitement from the first page to the last. There was such a good twist in this one and it was really original. Which is hard to do in zombie fiction! This had been one of my favorite zombie series and now I just can't wait until book 7!

Never Slows Down
This new book in the series was nonstop action. Lives are saved and lost. Alliances are formed in this zombie filled adventure and there is a new zombie breed in town. Wow I was floored by how exciting this book was. No fillers here! Mr. Zuko keeps the reader on the edge of their seats! Then add a new twist that makes waiting for the next book on so hard!

Wow just wow
As I have stated in my other reviews the series. This is probably one of the most realistic as far as things that would happen consequences etc. if it actually zombie apocalypse happened. Zombies are bad enough but that evil that humans can do is always worse. And now there is something even worse which you will find out in this book and learn more of an upcoming books. A great cast of characters and an action packed story that will take you on the ups and downs of this groups travels. Don’t get too attached to anyone there are no guarantees in a zombie apocalypse. Check this series out you will not be disappointed

The infected series is one of the best zombie series I think I've ever read. Here, after six books and all the action, only forty-eight hours of real-time has expired. Jim, Karen, Troy, Sara, Ryder, Leon, Shawna and Brother Paul all continue to battle their demons and zombies in this installment. Jim and Karen's group are trying desperately to hold it together as their group is torn apart. Brother Paul is on a quest to destroy Jim for killing his brother, Eric, Sara is fighting for her life against Ryder, Shawna, too, is chased by a gaining horde - she's also desperately trying to protect two unexpected stowaways in the bus she stole and crashed. And finally, a new character joins Jim & Karen's group. It's sit on the edge of your seat and bite your nails time. Who will survive this day?
Meanwhile, a new enemy surfaces. One, that is more deadly than even the zombies. Things are about to get real! I quickly downloaded the last two books in the series and can't wait to start book #7. Outstanding job Joseph...can't wait to see how this new threat develops.

Damn this series is good! Only on day 3 I think and 6 books in! It’s sooo good! Now we have some hybrids. Brother Paul did turn out to be the good guy I hoped he would be! Ryder got his and that’s all I’m going to say about that.... other than ‘don’t call me red!’
Jim and Karen and the girls may finally have a day of rest.... soon but not yet. Beth will hopefully be a useful person to help with ‘farm’ things in the future. Leon may turn out to be ok... still not 100% on him. His humor is ok with me though. Where is book 7? I need it now on audio! Love the his series so damn much.... ‘bad word bad word!’ Lol
Tom does an amazing job with narration. I really like him a lot!

Arrrgh! Now What?!?! (Intense!)
I so want to spew forth about the twist turned cliff hanger, but I don’t like letting spoilers loose in the world. Plus, it’s a really good one. Not totally surprising either once it happens.
’Nuff said on that… I’m done with another installment, and unfortunately must take a break until I can get the next two, and last, books in the series. I have a lot to look forward to. I mean, so much has happened, many pages filled with action, love, loss, etc. And it’s only been two - yes, TWO! days into the apocalypse.
Grab book one. Join in the excitement. Be prepared for a lot of gore. Not for the faint of heart, but those who can’t get enough of apocalypse survival or zombies, these are a must read series!
ENJOY!

Torn Apart
Well, this was different, that's for sure. Rather disturbing and am a little mixed about it. But, once again, man, you aced it! Can't wait to see how this all ends! And got to say it "man stick"? :)

The enemy of my enemy is my friend
You have got to read this series of books. Jim and Brother Paul are opposite yet equal in their beliefs. What kind of team will they make? You have to keep reading to find out.

You will only agree with this rating if you have read this far in the series, and enjoy zombie apocalypse literature. But if you do, you understand. This stuff continues to churn on at a powerful pace. Enjoying the series.

The story is getting better and better. The ending is a cliffhanger for the next book. I enjoyed the book and will read the next one.
