“Oh, I’ve got a brand new combine harvester….” And you know where thats going, as Hugh’s charged to the rescue, and I’m still chuckling now, absolute genius! I was so excited when Wren turned up, but left me with questions about the timeline between the two series. And how much more can Mike and his family take I can’t wait for book 5, I’m desperate to find out more!”
The zombie puree…
Safe Haven- Ice: Book 4 of the Post-Apocalyptic Zombie Horror Series by Christopher Artinian and narrated by Kim Bretton is yet another hit for this series. If you haven’t listened to Christopher’s zombie worlds, you are missing out!
The gang is back and trying to survive a sickness that has hit Safe Haven. With Mike’s younger siblings ill, he sets out to find antibiotics. From there, the chaos begins and the question is will the group and Safe Haven survive this time around? There’s a good amount of z action packed throughout. Yes, Mike does some bone head moves, but for all the right reasons.
The narrator, Kim Bretton, did a brilliant job once again. She gives Christopher’s worlds life and makes me want to listen even if I should be going to bed.
Overall I highly recommend, especially if you’ve been following this series or if you are new (make sure to start at the beginning). If you’re a z fan, you won’t be disappointed.

*I was given a free review copy of the audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. Thank you for allowing me to listen and review the book!
This is a fantastic series that is a real page turner, the characters and story building are brought out so well that you feel like your a part of the story living vicariously through them. The scenes are brought out so well with the Author and the Narrator. This is definitely a listen that I recommend highly.

This series is the one that started my present love of the Zompoc genre. Christopher Artinian is an excellent author and his books are some of the best that I have read. You know that when you start to read one of his books, you are in for a thrill ride of no comparison.
Book 4 picks up shortly after the end of Book 3, with our intrepid hero, Mike, and his family living as a community in Safe Haven. However, just when you think that things have settled down and gotten back to normal, you find out that (of course) that is not true. Mike and Emma’s younger sister, Sammy, is fighting a losing battle with an especially nasty flu. Mike’s lover, Lucy, who is also a physician, tells Mike that chances are not good for Sammy if she does not get lifesaving antibiotics. So, Mike makes the decision to go in search of the drugs she needs.
Along the way to find proper medication, the worst blizzard in Scotland’s history hits and Mike and Emma are caught in the middle of it. With the roads impassable and the RAMs attacking in spite of the frigid temperatures, it is unclear if they will be able to find the meds and return to Safe Haven in time to save Sammy.
This book is full of action, with our hero killing the RAMs at every turn. As Alex told Mike, “Blood makes you relatives; love makes you family.” Mike is determined to save his family at all costs and nothing will stop him. This book also meshes Mr. Artinian’s two series together when Mike is saved by Wren from the End of Everything series.
After reading the books in this series, I have come to feel like I know the characters and find myself reading faster and faster in order to reach the conclusion. At the same time, I try to slow down in order to savor every detail. I enjoyed the comic relief provided by the two librarians, David and Richard. What great fun it was listening to them bicker and moan while under zombie attack!
The narrator, Kim Bretton, does a wonderful job and really adds a lot to this series. She brings the characters to life and moves the story along at the perfect pace. I can’t say enough about the combination of the author and the narrator; it is truly a work of art.
I was given the chance to listen to the audiobook version of this book by the author and chose to review it.
