ALIEN ZOO
A stunning sunset begins in the northeastern sky. It sunk beautifully, like a time-lapse movie of eerie summer sunsets. But it was no ordinary event. Wholly orange, it reached up and up until it loomed over town, blocking out the sun. Somehow, she knew, life was going to change soon. Police Officer Fynn is on duty in Missouri when something terrible happens. The sunset is followed by a record number of calls about lights and ships in the sky and a power outage that lasts for months. She survives the visits by the watchers but realizes months later to find life transformed, with controlled weather, a ship-filled sky, citizens missing, and the desperate need for an emergency plan for them all. So begins her journey to find shelter, food, and the missing, along with the answer to the mystery of what has arrived. Others slowly discover an alien threat, unlike anything they’ve ever seen. And suddenly, their world is ripped apart. On the run from the watchers, Fynn's determination to protect her town is her only weapon as citizens begin moving to one area together and into chaos. But then a shocking theory burst open - one that’s as horrifying to Fynn as the aliens surrounding them. They are coming.

Reviews :
Beth Ryder ~ New York Today "I had not read a book in twenty years and was never really interested in reading or committing to books that took weeks to read. I love Deb's style. I can easily feel accomplished by actually finishing a book that I start reading. 5 Stars!
David Parker ~ Hollywood Insider "I've been binge-listening to Post Apocalyptic books, and this book is right up there with the best of them. For me, plausibility is a big deal - I like real people solving real problems. I think the author did a great job creating believable situations that held my interest. This is also the first Post Apocalyptic book I've read that was written from the perspective of a woman. Many of the scenes involve her struggling with self-doubts, but always becoming the strong woman at the right time. This may sound tedious, but I felt the way it was written helped embellish the storyline. Some may also feel that the main characters were a bit too lucky, but in this new World you make your own luck, and that's what they did. Overcoming one obstacle after another as the World grew ever bleaker truly holds your interest.
" Kristen Lewis ~ SciCOM Fiction Fans "I regret nothing. It DOES beg the questions, In such a situation, where there are no answers as to what can cause the world to physically flip flop to the extreme unknown, who can you trust? How does one survive when they are ill-prepared for such an extended and volatile event? Where do you draw the line of humanity when every decision means life or death? I purchased this book outright. I was not disappointed."Visit Alien Zoo on FB!
Mandy M. ~ Alien Preservation INC "I found myself in tears reading the last pages of this book. It was not just a story about Aliens, it was more than that. It restored my faith in life and humanity. It gave meaning to all of our journeys. Well done."

Too many mistakes and not much happens.
A police person, known as Fynn, keeps seeing UFOs which she calls watchers. In preparation for an alien apocalypse, she and others organize bunkers constructed of shipping containers. Then people go missing, including some men and a small child. It's an ok idea, but hardly anything happens and it gets pretty dull. Plus there are so many grammatical and punctuation errors, I have to wonder if this author had any editing done at all. And the conclusion doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

My thoughts on Alien Zoo
Because of the ending and unless the ending was changed no I would not recommend the reading of book. Maybe author was trying to impart something to readers that I am not seeing.

Thought provoking.

I love a great one night or weekend read. The story is very similar to the times we are living in right now. People sheltering in place. Strange occurrences overhead. I loved the small-town feel and the characters coming together to survive their battle against the "watchers". Lovely! Funny!
