The story starts hours after the event that sparks the zombie apocalypse, and the sisters are still in shock, Christopher Artinian describes their rivaly was so expertly I couldn’t imagine them managing to leave the house together, more likely to kill each other before the zombies even had a chance. Their snarky interaction was hilarious, and their first excursions nail biting, and the reality that zombies are not the only threat.
I can’t wait to find out what happens to the girls next, I definately need the next book in the series!
The End of Everything (The End of Everything #1) was a good read by Christopher Artinian. Two sisters are living a nightmare. Now their survival depends on them spending time together and it’s the last thing they want. They are in an apocalyptic horror that they could’ve never imagined. Terror lurks at every corner as they navigate the city to find safety. I really enjoyed this story and can’t wait to read more but the author.
Christopher Artinian is one of my favorite authors in the zombie genre and I have enjoyed the books in his “Safe Haven” series immensely. When I found out that he had written a YA zombie book about two sisters, I was excited to give it a try. I have to say that I was not disappointed!
From the very beginning of the book, we learn that Wren is a very resourceful young lady. At the age of 15, she has more common sense in a EOTWAWKI situation than most adults. Her sister, Robin, is another story. Robin is a typical teenager, more concerned with fashion and boys than real life events. I enjoyed the way that Robin progressed from this annoying fluff to someone able to hold her own in a bad situation. I loved the banter between the sisters and it added a lot to the realism of the story.
Mr. Artinian has plenty of action in the book and the ways that our sisters fight off the zombie hordes is great. And, I love the nod to pop culture in the character of Norman Bates. How fun! The ending was a great tie-in to Mr. Artinian’s other series and I look forward to seeing how these sisters might fit in to the “Safe Haven” world.
The narrator, Kim Bretton, is perfect for this book and really added a lot to my enjoyment of it. Her pacing was perfect and her voices were spot-on. I was given the chance to listen to this book by the author, but all opinions expressed are my own.
The End of Everything: Book 1 by Christopher Artinian and narrated by Kim Bretton turned out to be an incredible story about two siblings that has a hint of realness to it. This would be my brother and me during the zombie apocalypse (me wanting to smack him upside the head mainly…). Would recommend if you enjoy zombie books.
What’s it about? Two sisters, Wren and Robyn (Bobby), are trying to find safety in the zombie apocalypse, but it’s never that easy. Wren has her head on straight and knows what must be done to survive, while Robyn is a bit in denial plus some. They meet some not-so-good people, some good, and some straight up crazies. The banter between them helps make the book fun and stand out from others zompoc stories and adds a realness to it. It’s a fast-paced story with a good amount of action. The story does leave an opening for future books. If you aren’t sure about the oldest sister Robyn at first, stick with it because her character does develop into someone you will like.
Christopher has written an engaging story that is difficult to put down (I listened in one sitting). This is the second book I’ve listened to by him and I haven’t been disappointed.
The narrator, Kim Bretton, did a wonderful job. I enjoyed her bringing the sister’s to life.
Overall I recommend, especially if you enjoy the zompoc genre.
Parental guidance/trigger warnings:
Swearing off and on throughout, drinking, guy attempts to attack/rape one of the sister’s, drugging of one sister so guy can lure the other elsewhere, weapons (knives, javelins), death (people, zombies- but the Z’s are already dead so why I am writing this?)…
*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 read. Two sisters are left after there parents are taken. The girls are fighting for there lives with the Zombies on the loose. This is a fantastic read if you like fast paced and action packed reads, this has it all. It had me on the edge of my seat wondering what was gonna happen next. This is definitely a must read.
