Alive (Sundown Series Book 3)
By Courtney Konstantin
Rated 5 stars!!!!
Wow! Wow! Wow! I loved this story for so many reasons! This book is written so well. It’s smooth and has such a nice flow to it. The story is action packed and highly addictive! It held me captivated and I couldn’t put it down until I finished it. Many times while reading I find myself saying or thinking “No! Don’t go back to town!” Or “Stay away from there!” But sadly they didn’t listen to me. Each of the characters has a nice quality about them. Whether it be the main one, a secondary or even the dog. They were all well thought out and beautifully done. Even the relationships between the characters is done superbly.
You know the saying “ I love it when a story comes together”? This one is all that! From the writing, to the characters, to the story they all blend so nicely for a great finished product. This is a first time author for me. I will gladly check out her other books and I will be reading the first two in this series! I am now interested in the girls stories and wondering where the author will take this story next. I highly recommend this book.
PS Great cover!!
Alive (The Sundown Series) written by Courtney Konstantin. This is not my normal genre as I tend to creep myself out with this type of story. Charlie and Rafe are the two main characters and the story is told in alternating point of view depending on the scene. As the story progresses you gain more details and characters. Alive is a good story and I did enjoy it, I was eager to see how it would end and what would happen with all the characters, including “the suit”.
Alive is the third book in the Sundown Series. It can be read as a standalone. There are main parts of the story that wrap up by the end, but the overall story is left open.
I’m not a huge fan of zombie apocalypse type stories, but this one was very well done. It was not over-the-top in gore and unnecessary violence. Action, adventure, and a smidge of romance made for an entertaining read. There were a few times I was so into the intense moments in the story I am surprised my grip on the Kindle didn’t crack it, lol.
Alive by Courtney Konstantin is the third book in the Sundown Series. This can be read as a standalone. Rafe Duncan and Charlie Brewer are the main characters and work in a secret government facility. There is a virus and when humans become exposed become flesh eating zombies. Rafe and Charlie are fighting to survive against the zombies as well as mercenaries who are after them.
This is the first book I have read in the series and was blown away. I was taken into a strange existence and kept in suspene the whole book. The descriptions and characters are great. I really enjoyed the entire book and will be grabbing the first two books in the series. If you like a book with suspense, drama, and a great story you will enjoy this book.
Alive was a thrilling 4 star read and book three in the Sundown series.
This isn’t my usual type of read however, I was pulled in right from the beginning, this is a zombie, post-apocalyptic themed story that has lots of danger, action and so much more.
Rafe and Charlie work at a facility that does top secret testing. After a plague breaks out in the facility they find themselves fighting for their lives from several entities. Both characters are strong in their own ways. There are several twists and turns.
Will these two be able to find safety before it’s too late?
Courtney Konstantin does a great job with her detail in the story, I felt like I was right there with the characters. This is my first read from her and it was great. I look forward to reading more. If you like post-apocalyptic zombie stories you will like this book.

Alive (Sundown Series Book 3) by Courtney Konstantin was a spine tingling, post-apocalyptic thriller that had me on the edge on my seat.
My first read by this author, I was pulled in by not only the cover but by the raving reviews. This book is part of a series, but you can read this one as a standalone. But I do wish I read the other books first because I believe I missed some character development and background info. But I will be going back and checking them out, because I love the world that this author has created.
I was pulled in right away, and for someone that is picking about their zombie books, I have to say I was impressed and loved every minute of this heart pounding read. I loved the attention to detail and how the author managed to instill fear into me. The suspense was thick and the situations were terrifying. I love the constant surprises and the raw emotions that the characters portrayed as the zombies closed in.
Overall this book will probably give me nightmares, so it gets my super high recommendation and of course, my stamp of approval.
Happy Reading

Alive, Book 3 in the Sundown Series by Courtney Konstantin
4 out of 5 stars
This book hits all the right notes that a book should. This book is set in a post-apocalyptic world where the end of the world is not brought on by mother nature, but by the meddling of mankind. When a virus runs rampant through humanity, causing those who are infected to turn into flesh eating zombies, it turns into a race against the clock for survival. Our main characters, Rafe, (bad A** and one overall tough dude) and Charle, (whip smart, hot chick lab scientist) are on the run from those who are infected. Rafe is determined to get to his sisters and keep Charlie alive in the process. Charlie is strong, smart and is determined to prove to Rafe that she is his equal and can help him, and is not a liability.
Things change as they are venturing on when Rafe and Charlie discover they are being hunted, not only by zombies, but by mercenaries. Will they survive? You will have to read this book and the first two in this series. This book is amazing. Incredibly detailed and the plot is beyond fantastic. Konstantin has proven herself to be an incredible author and I cannot wait to read more novels by her,
Well i was certainly pulled straight in right from the get go it was an incredible read not my usual go to novel but it was a nice change and i highly enjoyed it. Written incredibly with an in depth amazing storyline and awesome character’s to be honest i was sad to reach the end but has left me thirsty to read more from this author that’s for sure!
Alive (Sundown Series Book 3)
By Courtney Konstantin
4 stars
Ok so being totally honest I was not sure about this book at all – it is completely out of my comfort zone for reading, I’m more of a romance kind of girl but I had seen a few friends say how good it was so I thought I would give it a go. I am so glad I gave it go, have I been converted to post-apocalyptic, zombie stories, probably not but I cannot fault the authors writing at all. The story was exciting, full of action and I found myself wanting to keep turning the pages to find out what was going to happen. At times it almost felt like I was reading about a movie, the authors descriptive language was great and the story rich in detail. I really felt like I was right there with Rafe and Charlie as they tried to survive.
An exciting 4 star read that I would definitely recommend.
Alive (Sundown Series Book 3) by Courtney Konstantin is a thrilling sci fi, post apocalyptic, suspense story that had me on the edge of my seat, all the way through. I am not normally a zombie lover, but this story is unique and different in it’s telling and the plot and whilst it has walking dead, it’s focus is on how it came about and the people and their fight for survival.
This tale is definitely intense and will have your heart pumping and your fight or flight instincts kicking in and I had to remind myself to breathe, as I traversed my way around the action and danger, drama and twists and turns. Courtney’s story is an original twist and is so engrossing. Her vivid writing style, is so descriptive that it truly feels like you are the one fighting and trying to survive. I had to read it all in one go, I had to keep turning the pages because I had to know, I needed to know, I had to witness it first hand. Trust me when I say you will continue to think about it long after you have turned the last page and long after darkness has set, when you are looking in the shadows.
Rafe and Charlie have gone from normal to chaos and fighting to survive, but it’s not just the walking dead they have to worry about. Will they be able to survive the true evil that is after them?
I have not read anything by Courtney before, now I have to go back and read the first two books and scout around to see what else she has written because her wordsmithing is superb. This is definitely my favourite read so far for the new year.
If you love a thrilling, gory tale that is gruesome, is disturbing, is disgusting and intensely gripping, then this is one that should be on your reading list.
This zombie apocalypse novel is action packed from beginning to end. Well written, the characters and plot jump off the plate. I loved this book and continue to be enraptured by the author. Great read – definitely recommend!
A great read about events unravelling. Rafe Duncan works for security in a government science facility. When he helps doctor Charlie off the road, and she is burgled she stays at his house with reluctance. But when events unravel at work ,suddenly they have to stick together for survival. Can they make it?
A great read. Well developed plot with twists and turns. Well developed characters like Charlie standing up for herself but kind underneath or Rafae as strong and silent but kind underneath.
I loved the visual detail throughout the novel like with the natural imagery of the snow in the dawn light or the forest and mountains as a something beautiful and calming with the cows. And also the use of the senses in particular to sounds with unnerving silences and horror filled pops and cracks later on.
I loved the mix of realism with the doctors and sci fi with the apoclapyse combining together to perfection Fast paced action with high stakes made for a captivating read. Overall, a great read and I would give it five stars.
I love reading post-apocalyptic books. I love the thrill and mystery that they give. Alive was my first experience by Courtney Konstantin, and let’s just say that I was impressed with the book and world development. I liked how easy it was for me to dive in with the characters, and feel their emotions through the pages. I kept finding myself at the edges of my seat, twisting my fingers trying to find out what would happen next. This was definitely a 4 Star Book for me.
Alive is the first book that I have read by Courtney Konstantin and it will not be my last. She is an artist when it comes from her background scenery to her detail organization of her characters. I was so enthralled with this story that I found it very difficult to put it down. This is a sci-fi, zombie, a post-apocalyptic thrill that will keep you on the edge of your seat. I will admit when I was reading the jacket of this book that I was leery because of the zombie angle, but I was wrong as this zombie book is different than all the other books out there. The main characters are Rafe Duncan and Charlie Brewer. They work in a secret government facility. The plague breaks out in the facility and Rafe and Charlie has bigger problems. The zombies are hungry, the plague is killing everyone, and there is a group of government radicals who are on a mission to have everyone dead who worked in the secret facility. Will Rafe and Charlie be able to remain alive or will the zombies or government radicals find them first?

Omg this book had me on the edge of my seat the whole time!!! There was danger and action throughout the entire story. I could not put this book down until I found out what happened. The author did an amazing job making me feel like I was right along for the ride. I became completely invested in the main characters Rafe and Charlie. I haven’t read the first two books in this series and I was able to follow along with it any trouble, but now that I have read this book I am absolutely going to go read the first two. This is the first book I have read by this author and I am so glad I did because I can’t say enough great things about this book, it was riveting and the attention to detail was awesome. I highly recommend this book.
What a great story! If you like end of the world, rotten government, zombie type stories then this book is one you should go one click right away. Even though it says book 3, know that these books do not have to be read in order to be understood or enjoyed.
Rafe and Charlie just want to survive. No-one needs survival more than these characters!
Alive is the first book I have read by Konstantin but will not be the last. She had me on the edge of my seat starting on the first page. I look forward to reading the other books in this series and suggest you go one click today.
Alive by Courtney Konstantin is the third book in the Sundown Series. This book can be read as a stand-alone.
Everything about this book intrigued me from the moment I read the blurb. It sounded exactly like the kind of book I enjoy and I have to say it certainly did not disappoint in entertaining.
This book is fast paced, intense and was so enthralling it had me on the edge of my seat. There were times when I could feel my heart beating so hard that I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough. I absolutely had to know what was going to happen next.
It really felt like you were there with the characters, fighting alongside them every step of the way.
While this book can be read as a stand-alone – it is the first book I have read by this author – I can see how it would be beneficial to read the previous books in this series. I know I will be going straight back to read them! This was a brilliant book and one I can say I highly recommend.
This is a post-apocalyptic suspense thriller that left me sitting on the edge of my seat. I will be checking out other books by this author. This is a story about survival, zombies, and has a science fiction feel to it. It is a story that is easy flowing and the action just kept coming. Rafe and Charlie work in at a facility where Government experiments are done but now someone is out to silence anyone working there. I highly recommend reading this book to see who survives

The story Alive (Sundown Series Book 3) by Courtney Konstantin is a thrilling book that I loved reading. It is set in a post-apocalyptic world where those who become infected with a plague turn into flesh-eating zombies. This story had me on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next. It is suspenseful and at times I had to remind myself to breathe. I loved reading about the characters of Rafe and Charlie. They both work at a facility where secret experiments are being conducted. A plague has started to turn anyone it infects and they find themselves in a world that has been turned upside-down and in chaos. They also find themselves pursued by mercenaries. Will Rafe and Charlie be able to survive both the zombies and those who are hunting them down? Read this book to find out. This story does an amazing job in making you feel like you are right there with the characters and experiencing what they do. I could feel the fear that they have when facing those who are infected. Charlie is a beautiful, smart, and strong woman. She is driven to prove that she can be an equal partner to Rafe, not just a responsibility. Rafe is a man that is determined to keep alive and also protect Charlie. He is someone who is caring and will defend himself and others. There are other additional characters that are introduced in the story and I enjoyed reading about the part that they play and their interactions with Charlie and Rafe. I absolutely love post-apocalyptic tales of survival and this book is an example of why. It is well-written and you won’t want to put it down until you read the last page. Highly recommended.
