"Explosive... A riveting post-apocalyptic zombie series." (Kyla Stone (Author of Edge of Collapse series)
Books one to three in the best-selling and award-winning series available in one box set for the first time.
Two sisters, one nightmare.
The last thing they wanted to do was spend time with each other. Now, their very survival depends on it.
Forced from their home and thrown into an apocalyptic horror neither could have imagined, they didn’t think things could get any worse. They were wrong.
As they navigate the city to escape to safety, terror lurks for them on every corner. The reanimating virus has taken away everything they loved, but today, they’re going to start fighting back.
Living or dead, everyone is a threat. The rules have changed, and for these two, time is running out.
What will they do to survive? What will they do for each other? Is being family reason enough to stay together?
I was born and raised in Leeds, West Yorkshire. Wanting to escape life in a big city and concentrate more on working to live than living to work, I moved to the Outer Hebrides in the north-west of Scotland in 2004 and I have lived there ever since with my wife and dogs.
I write post-apocalyptic, sci-fi, dystopian and horror fiction. I’ve released fifty one books across six different series - Safe Haven, The End of Everything, Unsafe, Relentless, The Burning Tree and Scares in Scotland.
In addition, most of my titles are now available as audiobooks narrated by Kim Bretton, so if you’re one of the many people who struggle to find the time to read, you can listen on the go.

This series is awesome and getting it in a boxed set is so convenient. And if you have Kindle Unlimited the it cost $0 above your monthly subscription. So this is definitely a great deal. Mr. Artinian writes with a passion and it shows in the wonderful stories he tells. I highly recommend this set.
Great fast-paced zompoc series with strong female leads! Highly recommend!!! The End of Everything Box Set (Books 1-3) by Christopher Artinian and narrated by Kim Bretton is a fantastic zombie series! Highly recommend if you are searching for a new zombie series, looking for strong female leads, love well-written stories, or are new to Christopher. Be aware that when you start, you will have a difficult time putting them down (brace yourself for 17 hours folks, seriously).
I listened to the books again for the boxed set and it held up to my original thoughts on the series (I even enjoyed it more the second time around). Book one starts with two sisters, Robyn (Bobby) and Wren struggling to find safety in the zombie apocalypse. They meet some not-so-good people, some good, and some straight up crazies. If you aren’t sure about Robyn at first, stick with it because she develops into someone you will like. Book two the characters continue to develop/story unfolds as the group navigates through the apocalypse with some loses and gains. Book three continues with the sisters dealing with new threats and not knowing who to trust and of course, zombies! The action is fast-paced, frequent, intense, and increases as the series goes on. The banter between the two sister’s gives it a hint of realness and it’s what I’d expect if a zombie apocalypse was to occur. The character development is great and you see the sister's become a force to be reckoned with.
Kim does a wonderful job as narrator and is a perfect fit. She brings the sister’s to life, has good pace, and overall adds to the story.
I highly recommend this series. Between Christopher’s writing and Kim’s narrations, it flows in all the right ways. There’s a reason these books get so many 5 star reviews. P.S. I’m still waiting for a network to make one of his series into a TV show/mini-series (Hey Amazon, you reading this?).
Parental guidance/trigger warnings: This is the zompoc folks- death, violence, occasional swearing, weapons, crazies and not nice people, drinking, or like things occur.
I was given a free review copy of the audiobooks at my request and have voluntarily left this review. Thank you for allowing me to listen and review the books because they are awesome!
Christopher Artinian is one of my favorite authors in the zombie genre and I have enjoyed the books in his "Safe Haven" series immensely. When I found out that he had written a YA zombie book about two sisters, I was excited to give it a try. I have to say that I was not disappointed! From the very beginning of the book, we learn that Wren is a very resourceful young lady. At the age of 15, she has more common sense in a EOTWAWKI situation than most adults. Her sister, Robin, is another story. Robin is a typical teenager, more concerned with fashion and boys than real life events. I enjoyed the way that Robin progressed from this annoying fluff to someone able to hold her own in a bad situation. I loved the banter between the sisters and it added a lot to the realism of the story. Mr. Artinian has plenty of action in the book and the ways that our sisters fight off the zombie hordes is great. The ending was a great tie-in to Mr. Artinian's other series and I look forward to seeing how these sisters might fit in to the "Safe Haven" world. The characters are well-developed, the tension is palpable and by the time I finished the third book, I felt like I knew Robin and Wren personally. The narrator, Kim Bretton, is perfect for this book and really added a lot to my enjoyment of it. Her pacing was perfect and her voices were spot-on. At times,I thought there had to be at least 3 or 4 narrators because her transition between voices is so seamless. I was given the chance to listen to this book by the author, but all opinions expressed are my own.
Christopher Artinian has written a second series that takes place in a post-apocalyptic zombie world. This series features two sisters and their coming to grips with the radical changes that have happened in the world. Each day is filled with terror, anxiety, and twists one never sees coming. Both girls have strengths and weaknesses and as they learn to depend on each other they must also come to realize what is the most important thing in their lives. I am enjoying the interaction between the two sisters as they navigate their world. I am looking forward to the next book in the series. Kim Bretton's narration remains outstanding and she brings the girls to life by giving each of them their own unique voices. I was given a free copy of the audiobook and I have voluntarily left this review.
I LOVE THIS SERIES! The entire world that Artinian has built is amazing. The books are fast paced and full of unforgettable characters. The sisters are the most amazing badass heroines ever. Their wit is there from day one but their cunningness and skills build and grow as the story progresses. This story converges with Artinians other series, Safe Haven, as well. The other series is equally as good! Made better because these sisters from this one show up in it! I’m partial to these girls what can I say! If you love strong female leads, smart ass humor and just generally smart characters you will love this too. Do yourself a favor and get this! You will not regret it! Also... Kim Bretton is one of the best narrators around! You will love her too!
Wren and Robin are sisters trying to survive the zombie apocalypse. Even with typical sibling spats, these girls bond and battle together to figure out how to make it. The narrator has great and consistent voices. Love the difficulties and good times they have have as well as the interesting characters they encounter. As with all good stories there are characters you love, like, and hate. I received a free audiobook and am leaving my honest honest review voluntarily.
I loved this book. It was a really scary zombie apocalypse story and the dialogue between the teen sisters was just the way my daughters talk to each other sometimes! Name calling back and forth, lots of laughter at themselves, followed by “I love you’s” all around. Oh before I forget...good storyline with bite-your-knuckles scary action. I bought Book 4.
This book box was incredible. I absolutely loved the main characters. Wren and Bobbi are sisters and very different characters but the author is able to make them both very interesting in different ways. This zombie book has everything you expect zombies, fighting, survival, loss but also love, friendship, and growth. I can’t wait to read more.
I love this series so far. Can't wait for more. Artinian is a master of the zompoc genre, as well as other genres he has dipped his toe into. You have to read his work!!!!!!
I really enjoy reading about Robyn's and Wren's adventures with the zombies. Very courageous and talented young girls. I recommend this book to all that love adventures.
Take the author's advice and read these in order. It will make a lot more sense. Good character, sometimes predictable, it seems easy to discern who to trust and who not to. All in all, I'm onto book 7 based on the author's order of reading.
I skip read these books as there was too much of the same thing with flesh eating zombies being wiped out by a couple of teenagers. Maybe ok for young readers but too childish for me.
I just love Wren and Robyn's characters! All three books are non stop action. I really loved having a 3 box set so I could all three back to back. Very well done!
