This is the second book of “The Dead” series. The first book was great – filled with non-stop action, gore and suspense. I really enjoyed it.

However, the second book was nothing in comparison. It seemed to go in circles. It was repetitive and I found the main character to be beyond annoying. I just wanted to thump him and demand he pull himself together and DO something instead of complaining all the time.

It felt as if the author was writing from the seat of his pants and didn’t know where to go next and gathered the characters together so they could chat for a while until he worked it out. The first time it happened, I was okay with it, but the second time I wasn’t so forgiving, and all the times after that was just plain irritating. The ‘chats’ discussed the same things over and over and over again.

I was over it! And, unfortunately, this and the main character’s reaction tore me out of the zone and I had no reason or inclination to get back into the story. It was hard work reaching the end of the book after that happened.

I have the third book but, at this stage, I'm not sure if I'll read it.

Whilst browsing the shelves of my local second-hand bookshop (the only bookshop in town) I came across this young adult series—all three books, in good condition too!

The dead are coming!

Well, what can I say, this one sentence provided my imagination with lots of images and I immediately picked up all three books and purchased them.

The Dead is book one of the series. It starts out strong and carried me right through to the last page. It’s fast-paced and interesting. There’s no time to ponder or get distracted or to check what’s on television because something is happening all the time to demand your full attention.

If you’re looking for deep and meaningful, then this isn’t the book for you. This book is fun, vivid and entertaining. Yes, it’s classed as horror, but there’s no need to be scared—blood and guts are definitely a part of the story—unless, of course, you are of a timid nature, in which case there will be plenty to cause you fear.

And the characters? We are introduced to Lazarus and Craig, best mates, and Arielle (you’ll have to read the book to find out more about her). They are likeable and work well together. I’m looking forward to reading where the author will take them in book two, The Dark.

Recommended.
