Zombie RiZing: Death's Door
"The stronger you grow, the more I notice you. The more I notice you, the more I start to get involved. The more I start to get involved, the less you're going to like it." Death.
Ever had one of those days when it feels like everyone and everything is against you? Well Beath and her crew of friends feel like that pretty much all the time. Only in their case, it's true! In the latest instalment of Matt J Pike's award-winning Zombie RiZing series, the stakes are getting higher for our ragtag band of heroes, who survived an apocalypse only to discover that the real horror was just beginning. With hell running amok on Earth, the gore is flowing more freely, the monster-free spaces are disappearing and the bad guys are levelling up. You'd almost think Death was trying to kill them. Oh, that's right. He is! But you don't survive an apocalypse, zombies, giants, warlocks, lava rivers, explosions and some good-old fashioned cluelessness without a backbone, some magic of your own and a plan. And if Death thinks they're going down without a fight, well he's got another thing coming. #dragonschmagon.

About the author
Matt J. Pike
26 books54 followers*Matt donates money from each book sold to find a cure for Rett Syndrome, a neurological condition his youngest daughter has*
Like the legendary R M Williams, Matt was born in Jamestown in rural South Australia. But that’s where the remarkable similarities between these two end. While Reginald went from bushman to world renowned millionaire outback clothing designer, Matt is a complete dag who was lured by the city lights of Adelaide. Kindergarten in the big smoke was a culture shock, but it is here he first discovered his love of storytelling.
In high school that love found an outlet in a series of completely unflattering cartoons about fellow students and teachers alike. He survived long enough to further his art into a successful career in multimedia design but, like a zombified leech, the lure of the written word gnawed at him, forcing him to pen his first novel, the award-winning sci-fi comedy epic, Kings of the World. It was followed the next year by Amazon Australia dystopian sci-fi best-seller Apocalypse: Diary of a Survivor.
Matt donates part-proceeds of each book sold to find a cure for Rett Syndrome, a neurological condition the youngest of his three children, Abby, has. As a gorgeous Rett angel, Abby cannot walk, talk or use her hands in a meaningful way. So, not only is each of your book purchases a ticket to fantastically rounded, character driven, hilarious and poignant sci-fi awesomeness, it wraps you in a warm feeling that you’ve made a difference to people who deserve your help the most. Like the zombified leech it’s a no-brainer.

Zombie Rising is a quirky take on the zombie apocalypse. Not satisfied with the undead, the author introduces us to giants, magic and mind control. Expect things to get complex quickly!
The book offers good humour, heightened danger and pre-teens doing the best they can at the end of life as we know it. Zombie Rising is an enjoyable romp though the end of times and well worth reading.

A fun zombie YA story! I did enjoy this, a nice bit of light reading for this genre! Definitely on the younger side of YA I felt with a nice mix of apocalyptic & magic! A good selection of characters & overall a fun read!
