Some surprises in store in this one for the series readers.
You may feel a little more kindly towards the Strigoi as the book progresses.
I found myself questioning our relationship with animals in our own time.
This novel certainly puts us into a similar situation to that of cattle or sheep, especially those live exports.

New to me!
I've read 100s of zombie/apocalypse books over the last two years. Every rare once in a while, one will come along that has more differences than just 2 or 3. Yes, I know, these aren't really "zombies", however, they have enough in common that when you do a specific search 'Growlers' is an option. Being that they weren't actual zombies gave the author a lot of room to create "disease" origin stories, dispersal conspiracies, killing methods, protection methods, strengths and weaknesses, etc. That in itself is one reason I recommend these books. The second reason is how realistic I feel that each character and 99% of their interactions with each other were. A lot of books come close to writing believable character reactions but I feel like these were a lot easier to get behind. I found myself very interested in how they were going to get out of each seemingly hopeless situation. One of them in particular, being alive still at the end of this 4th book gives me hope that maybe I too could survive for a little while longer than I think.
I'm considerably eager for the 5th book and any more after that. I love the writer's style. It was a constant running battle with barely long enough moments of reprieve while Murphy was, in my opinion, causing just the right balance of luck and misfortune. I recommend this read!
