I liked the story . I have always been facinated with twins. I dont want to spoil this short story for others, so all I can say is that I would like to read more about Jenny.

Wow! This book is a short introduction to Jenny, she is a survivor of the zombie apocalypse. It’s a very short read, great description with how the apocalypse starts. I’m looking forward to reading about more of the survivors and the novels of what happens when they all meet up and decide what to do, where to go etc. so they can survive. If this book is anything to go by this is going to be one fantastic series! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Cracking snapshot of what looks like the beginning of a great series …
What starts off as any normal day, the sort that a million other families around the country might be having quickly descends into the stuff of nightmares. The two central characters, Jenny and Jason, are forced to accept that all the stuff they’ve ever read about zombies might well be coming true.
Ever since George Romero’s first zombie film, and more recently The Walking Dead’ TV show, zombie horror has grown into a genre all of its own with a glut of books, films, and even comics cashing on on the phenomena so it was quite refreshing to see it approached here with some degree of originality. Too often, zombie stories kick off with the world-wide effects of rampaging zombies on the streets etc while forgetting the many more individual domestic stories of everyday people suddenly coming face to face with friends, neighbours, and loved ones turning into lethal predators before their very eyes. Just as James Herbert did at the start of his famous ‘the Rats,’ Rhonda Hopkins plunges the reader into one such story of individual horror at the very start of some as yet unknown catastrophy to follow. The story swiftly gathers pace, filled with Jenny and Jason’s struggle between fear and panic and the need to deal with the situation unravelling about them. Great action and believable dialogue make for a convincing story amid a too terrifying to believe scenario. From what I understand this is but one story of a wider series the author is writing, set among the same unfolding horror.
A quick and short read, but a highly enjoyable and entertaining one. Looking forward to seeing how this great start to the series develops. An easy five stars.
Jenny and her twin brother Jason, find themselves under siege when the crazy neighbor next door has been attacked by zombies and then Jason gets bitten by the neighbor. He tries to convince his sister he needs to go to the hospital and by the times Jenny agrees to take him, their whole neighborhood is like nothing they have seen before. This book is definitely not my cup of tea as I hate being scared and blood, guts and gore and Zombies. I am sure the people who like Zombies will enjoy this book much more than I did. It is a short read so give it a go.
