Jackson Kidd #2
Evolving
It’s been many months since the horror began. The infection has spread, the Infected are evolving and the world is in chaos.
After a narrow escape from an attack at their remote property in Australia’s Snowy Mountains, Jackson and Victoria headed north, fleeing the Infected and avoiding the brutal winter. Now life is about to get a whole lot more dangerous as they try to determine friend from foe and ruthlessly secure their own safety.
And Jackson has other demons. The deaths of so many haunt him. Nothing will free him from the memories. Each kill is etched on his brain. But it’s not the deaths making his blood run cold. It’s something inside. Something is different.
Jackson must seek out the one hunting him before it’s too late. There is no more running. Especially from her...

About the author
Mark West
4 books5 followersMark was born in Coffs Harbour and spent his primary school years by the beach, fishing, swimming and writing short stories.
His mother a public servant and father a builder relocated to chilly Canberra for work where Mark attended a private school with his older sister Rebecca. Creative by nature and not quite made for a highly academic school, Mark spent much of his time as the class clown or excelling on the rugby field.
Naturally, Mark fell into carpentry after leaving school, serving his creative outlet well where he obtained his high-quality craftsmanship with the guidance of his father. He excelled, starting his own business and becoming a Builder. To diversify his skills, years later Mark hung up the tool-belt and became a building supervisor and without his creative outlet on the tools, he re-discovered his passion for writing.
The pregnancy of his wife brought about significant value changes for Mark and his family. They upended their lives to move to sunny Brisbane to be closer to extended family, creating a simpler and more present lifestyle. Mark kept up his writing, etching out time in the very early hours and began to transition from building supervisor to writer.
Aside from writing, you'll find Mark with his family on the beach, skateboarding, handcrafting toys and furniture for his daughter, and when the stars align – on his dirt bike.

Following from the first book, the story spreads its threads, twists and turns, reaching further and further and into new places - just like the zombie virus.
The pace is fast as Jackson continues his battle to survive with a horde of zombies after him.
Great read and looking forward to the next book.

After reading the first book ‘Surviving’ I was thrilled to get my hands on this new one. I loved catching up on old characters, getting to know the new ones and being blind-sided by a few unexpected surprises along the way. This was not an easy book to put down, its fast pace kept you eager to continuing reading. I would definitely recommend this book and will certainly look for other books written by the author.

As I said in my review for Surviving, I don’t usually do zombie books. But after the first book, how could I not read the second???
Another nail-biting book. Awesome attention to detail which left me wanting more. Now I’ve gotta wait for a third book??? Oh man!!!!!!!

I enjoyed Surviving, and Evolving took it to a whole other level. What I thought I knew from book one was completely turned upside and shaken (in a good way). My connection to the characters and their unique personalities had me on an emotional rollercoaster. That meal in the barn... the destruction of one fingernail... the change in Jackson... the return of no one ... all completely unexpected. I just couldn’t put it down. Thanks for another incredibly written novel, Mark West.
