Zombie Apocalypse 2 - Day Of Awakening
Seattle. Summer. So much blood.
Having fled the zombie outbreak in their hometown of Lynden, Violet and Fynn are on the run in an abandoned SUV. Desperate to find her mother and sister, Violet has driven Fynn to Seattle with her; but with very little petrol and even less of a plan, time is running out for the duo. Like Lynden, Seattle has become a post-apocalyptic battlefield of the undead, where death is imminent, and survival is a victory.
Arriving at the hospital where Violet’s mother, Elena, is a nurse, Fynn and Violet encounter the apocalypse firsthand. The walking dead have spread like a plague - and if they don’t find Elena here, Violet and Fynn will be forced to travel further into the zombie-infested city to try and rescue her last remaining family members.
But all is not as it was in Lynden. The zombies are learning to adapt to their surroundings - and fast.
While the undead used to flounder blindly, relying mostly on their sense of smell, the zombies in Seattle are developing superhuman strength and sensory superpowers that enable them to hunt human flesh with even deadlier speed and accuracy. Mutant spider-like creatures scale buildings, local pets become life-threatening, and human traits are amplified with ferocious intent. Faced with deserted streets and ever-stronger zombie attacks, Violet and Fynn need each other more than ever as they advance deeper into this dangerous new world.
But are the two fugitives really as alone as they think? Could there be others who have survived the flesh-eating pandemic - a last remaining hope for a world under attack? Or are Violet and Fynn the sole survivors of the deadliest summer in living memory?
Amidst the chaos, Violet is realizing that there is more to Fynn than his tough exterior...and has he always been that handsome? While life as they know it crumbles around them, the pair find solace and safety in each other. But does Fynn remember their first kiss the way Violet does? Or is their chemistry a passing connection, forged out of desperation in their terrifying circumstances?

Flynn at the beginning is described in such a way that I thought he was a 40ish, really tough guy.
Turns out he’s a teen. Which makes him unlikely to behave as he did.
The first 50 pages were okay and then it fell apart.

Readable, but poorly edited
Three letter words are misspelled. There’s a great deal of wordiness which is rough and confusing. Characters have thoughts that go off on tangents, distracting from the storyline. This could be part of the first book, doesn’t qualify as a book in and of itself. The main goal of the first book still hasn’t happened. Important questions from the first book are left unanswered.

The second book is as short as the first one, you can barely call it a book at all. I overlooked that fact by accident, not paying attention to the give length, otherwise I would have boycotted this series and author on principle.
The second book was a superfudge, nothing was accomplished or finished. We accompany the main leads on their journey through Seattle. The author expanded the world building by a lot of new and evolved zombie monsters fresh out of resident evil but our protagonists don’t have to actually fight any of them. So the purpose eluded me. The world building in general was lacking. Not sure how Seattle looked like, not to mention only a handful of days after the outbreak and not even half a dozen humans are seen ergo alive? It all makes not much sense, because our protagonists drive around that human deadly environment and don’t have much interaction at all.
The plot is non existent, which makes me wonder why the author even published such a short excerpt of a wanna be book series and not to mention it was published over a year ago and nothing ever since.
This is in general an open short story with not much purpose, clarification or finished storyline. So don’t bother to pick it up.
It is very immature in places and we got at times stuck too often in the female leads head for this kind of genre.

still has potential
Again it is full of grammatical and spelling errors with which I blame the publishing company. However, the plot is good and relatable to how one might feel during a zombie apocalypse. I like where the story is heading yet I’m still waiting for Violet to admit she heard voices and the significance of it. As there was a cliff hanger it seems as though I’ll be waiting for a third book. I am invested in the story now and will continue to read.

oh my… confused
Things got weird real fast. I don’t know what the authors purpose was in this book. Nothing was accomplished, she introduced a lot of new characters and the zombies evolved. I’m not going to give too much away but I wasn’t impressed. You don’t need to put things in the book for shock and awe and then never mention it again. Left with more questions but no will to get them answered.

What happened?
I have to agree with other reviews here, this book seems to have been (poorly) written by a completely different person. I skimmed to the end but it just got worse. Don’t waste your time. That’s an hour of my life I won’t get back.

Too short
Way too short again. I feel like the first book and second should have just been combined, in my opinion.

The second book is also good but.......
This book is also only 7 chapters. How is that a book.?
Can I ask, how many books will there actually be?

This book needed more focus, like the author was trying too many ideas at once. Also it started to be a bummer with the way that Violet kept referring to Fynn as "the Town Drunk."

no ending?
Where is the ending to this book? It just stops in the middle of a scene! I would like to know what happens
