Life comes hard and fast for Kendra and her family in a dystopian world that is struggling to recover from a nuclear war and is now under the rule of an alien government. Unaware of the impending alien invasion, a group of scientists -which included Kendra's parents- were ordered to create a zombie virus and set it loose on Russia. The intention was to subdue Russia and then release the cure, but the alien attack took them unawares and the scientists and their cure disappeared, leaving the virus to run rampant. Having been inoculated against the virus, Kendra's aunt is one of these scientists who has kept her identity a secret for fear of being made a slave to the alien government. When a village that is connected to the people who moved underground for survival kidnaps Kendra in hopes that they can harvest any memories of her parents discussing the cure while she was a mere infant with the use of an experimental machine, her aunt must decide about coming forth with her identity. In the meantime, along with dealing with the ever-rising population of zombies, the alien regime -which considers humans a delicacy for their dinner table – sets out to correct and purify the human race from those who were mutated in some way by the nuclear explosions. Rex is one of those humans. He is also Kendra’s lover. “Where Zombies Walk” is Book One of Kendra’s Journey in a world that offers romance, peril, and sanctuary within its core. All she has to do is make her way there.

I could not put this book down! This has everything, and I loved the blending of dystopian with romance and even the supernatural. This alone made “Where Zombies Walk” a fresh take on a familiar genre.
Not only is the plot fast paced, but the characters were also fantastic. I loved Kendra, and found her to be a great strong female lead.
The author creates a vivid world full of tension, adventure, and danger.
This book was all over the place and I almost stopped reading it multiple times because I didn’t want to struggle through more of it. But, alas, I had to know where this disaster was going to end. The writing wasn’t the worst I’ve seen but very awkward and some small grammar and spelling mistakes. Lots of repetitive descriptions of character attributes that were stated very awkwardly and mechanically. Probably could just have used a lot more editing to be frank. Also, I feel like it would’ve been a much better story if the author had stuck to just one disaster instead of what felt like seventeen. I mean…aliens, radiation mutants, cyborgs, zombies, and kidnapping by psycho, hyper-sexual siblings was a bit much for me. It could’ve been a more developed story if had stuck to just one. The book also over sexualizes 17 year olds in an uncomfortable way, in my opinion. They could have easily just aged up most of the characters and avoided this issue.
I’m sorry to say that I couldn’t finish this book and gave up at Chapter 16. The story is all over the place with zombies, aliens, mutants, to name a few. It graphically overly sexualises under 18’s throughout the book, that just doesn’t come across in a way that adds any value to the story and if the author had just upped the ages of the characters, this wouldn’t have been an issue. This book is just not for me. I was given a free copy of this book from Voracious readers in exchange for an honest review.
Between repetitive descriptions, grammatical errors, and SO MUCH going on, I almost stopped reading so many times. I hate not finishing books, but, in this case, I wish I had.
We learn what life is like after an Apocalypse for the characters as we read. How many things can go wrong one after the other before humankind says, "Enough is enough!" and starts to fight back if at all? Who are Kendra, Olga, Felix, and Rupert? What happens when Kendra brings back her second successful, safe kill? Who are Ari, Baelil, Max, and Denai? Who is Rex and what is he doing when we meet him? So many things, good, bad, and otherwise happen in thie story. Already I cannot wait for book 2 in this series. There were things that made me angry, happy, and wanting to get vengence. This story is definitely bordering on the verge of erotic in some senses in my opinion and was a fun read.
RECEIVED THIS BOOK AS A GIFT FOR A FAIR/HONEST REVIEW and REVIEWER FOR Bloggin' With M. Brennan.
I thought I was picking up a dystopian novel about zombies and aliens, but there are actually several paranormal elements to this book as well. There are psychics and witches at play. Overall, it was an entertaining read. I REALLY hated Baelil, and I was supposed to because he's one of the bad guys. Rupert wasn't much better. I was glad to see their come uppance and who the one to give it to them was.
Kendra is a likeable character and a strong female protagonist. Even though she's raised in isolation, she's strong and fights for what she wants and saves herself. She saves other characters too. I'll be interested to see where book 2 goes and if she sets foot in that village again after what happened to her there
Great read Kendra’s story was a captivating apocalyptic story. Although she grew up isolated in a world ruled by aliens, she was strong and fought to save herself and the human race. Her mission wasn’t an easy one. This is a real page-turner that had everything, not only Zombies, Aliens and Mutants but also action, suspense, and romance. This is a very well written book, It’s a great read for paranormal lovers. I can’t wait to read book two.
I really enjoyed this book, I was hooked in the first few pages and couldn't put it down, it was fast paced, with plenty of action and strong characters. The paranormal elements were a good plot twist, and the characters were easy to become invested in,and Baelil was a character I couldn't resist hating. I can't wait for book 2, this is a series I want to follow. I received this book in exchange for my honest review.
