I'm a voracious reader in many genres. I do sometimes judge a book by its cover art. Life is too short to spend time reading or reviewing bad books so you'll see my library, ratings, and reviews represent books I believe are worth sharing.
I live in Northern California with my husband, two dogs, a garden, lots of chickens, a viola, and a bicycle. My anthropology degree shapes my fiction. I write dark adventures (science fiction, fantasy, post-apocalyptic, coming-of-age) with a hint of romance. Follow me at JamieThornton.com

Really enjoying this series and finished this instalment in record time. If you can put it down without feeling guilty, then you're stronger than me.
This isn't just a journey through the darkness of an apocalyptic world. As the characters unfold it is also a journey through the darkness (or at least varying shades of gray) of the human condition. But then there are also stars in the darkness.
One thing that struck me this time (which in retrospect is also true of the earlier books) is the ability of the author to gently guide the reader through the events but to still surprise (and to hint at future surprises - or maybe I'm just seein' things in the shadows that aren't there, which is just as good).

Kobo edition (1230005355464) EPub 3, DRM-Free; 209 pages
More set-backs in the attempt to reach Sanctuary as the interim medical measures start to fail. Dessa has to travel back into Saramento with a small group pf soldiers to find new meds and a vault/safe for Pierce. Not only must her party avaoid the zombies - but the military has split into two groups: the uninfected and those with the combo 'cure'. The former seems determined to completly eradicate the viruses... which puts Dessa in the middle of two warring factions as well as the zombies...
These volums are best considered as one continuous narrative - as the book ends with an unresolved cliffhanger. Very readable, howeber!

After all that effort to find her brother, our heroine has been separated from him once again. And worse, now there is a change he will turn into a zombie. Time for our heroine and her team to venture out once again.
This is book three of a series. It does okay as a standalone, but you will be missing quite a bit of background. This book covers the basics early on, but only that.
This is a zombie apocalypse story with a young protagonist. The story is well written and easy to read with a well developed cast of characters. Besides our heroine, there is a solid cast of friends that support her in her quest and we get to know them all pretty well. The story moves at a fast pace, which is necessary for us to keep ahead of the zombies. Fair warning: it does end on something of a cliffhanger, definitely leaving you wanting the next book. Overall, it was another fun read with plenty of action and I look forward to seeing what comes next.
Highly recommended.
I received an ARC from the author for review purposes.

I don’t usually read zombie stories but you start to read these books and you can’t stop turning the pages one after the other. This is a cracking series. I just cannot wait for the next one to see what happens next. Highly recommended.

I really enjoy this series! A great set of characters, a well thought out plot & a particular style and feel that really pleases me! Twists & turns, none stop adventure & mayhem! Fast paced & intriguing! A really brilliant third book in this great series! I do recommend!

Allow a day for Book 3 in this PG post-apocalyptic quest by six teenagers to save nine little kids from becoming zombies in California in October, which sort of works as a standalone but is better if read as part of the series. I had a review copy via Bookfunnel and this is my voluntary review.

Dessa and her friends try to find her brother amid all the danger. With all the infected people out there, life isn’t easy. Fast paced, gripping story to keep you hooked.

This book does not disappoint! If you have read the first couple books you do not want to miss this one. So much happens that will keep you flipping pages until next thing you know you're at the end waiting for book 4!

I found this 3rd book hard to stop reading!
Wow! The characters made me change my mind about how much they evolved into a great team and took care of each other.

Not the greatest I don't like the audiobook voice but I'm invested in these characters so I'll keep reading slowly but I'll get it done
