I can not express to you how amazingly awesome this series is! The author has created a very unique zombie filled world for her readers to dive into.
Things become godawful for Scarlett and Twila. They finally made it to what they believed to be a safe haven only to be auction off to the highest bidder. Things have changed and women have no rights anymore, unless married, then they are still treated like property. It seems the new government has finally found a way to control all of its citizens. Zac is out on his smuggler mission and can not be reached. Dean and luther have a thriving business in Boomtown. Ella and Justin are living the life in Last State, or so it seems. Then BAM!!!!! All h*** breaks loose. Last State is not what it seems. The creepers are getting way smarter. The enforcers are in full effect.
It seems almost everyone is coming to terms with their special fits and finally listening and learning how to use them. I’m supper stoked that there seems to be another book coming! This should become a t.v. series. I think it would be better than TWD.
Only The Dead Don’t Die: Last State
“You must make your own destiny . . .” the wind whispered.
“From what the Silver Lady had explained, every word, silent or spoken, every thought and intent, every action and reaction was recorded in an esoteric Book of Life, the multiverse of souls for all beings. Her vision warned of something far more devastating. A malevolent entity wished not only to obliterate humankind but to delete them from the Akashic Records as if they had never existed in the first place. The Silver Lady had forewarned Hu-manity was in a void state, on the verge of extinction based on the sequence of future events involving Scarlett and Twila’s actions.” – Scarlett Lewis
Escaping California with the plan to move to Texas wasn’t perhaps the best of plans. Once Scarlett and Twila arrived, they were placed in quarantine… Then auctioned off as if they were less than animals. Being unmarried was now a crime, and any single female of sixteen and older were auctioned off to the highest bidder.
“The government had resorted to dystopian anarchy. Women had lost their rights and were treated more like property. Machine guns were mounted around every corner. They obviously hadn’t developed a cure for the Super Summer flu.” – Scarlett
Scarlett and Twila’s only hope for salvation lies with Zac Padilla. Zac… The only man that Scarlett can’t forget… Or fully forgive. Finding her way to Zac’s Ghost Creek Hunting Lodge, ran by one of Zac’s “wives”, Scarlett and Twila begin to feel safe… At least, for now…
“That was it; the people had flocked to the Zones like sheep while the Elites culled the herd to their advantage. Society had traded their hard-earned freedoms for safety. . . Until the day they woke up and recognized the true enemy: a totalitarian one-party state.”- Shari O’Hara
Justin and Ella find themselves in a bit of a quandary. Justin has just been promoted to a secretive think tank so they are moving to a better apartment. After a terrifying creeper attack, Ella discovers she’s pregnant. What should be a joyous occasion soon devolves into a horrific nightmare, from which they can’t awaken…
Riveting! Haunting! Terrifyingly inspiring! Only The Dead Don’t Die: Last State grabs you by the throat and shakes the marrow in your bones… The subtle nuances, the “in your face” action sequences, the subliminal messages threaded throughout… I highly recommend to ANYONE who wants a thriller that Makes.You.Think… “Could it be?” ” What if…? ” It begs the question: are WE headed down this same path, and if we are, can we stop it in time?
