Reread - Book 16 in my Zombie-a-thon!

CW: Extreme gore, lots of deaths, people see loved ones dying horribly, Described suicide rather than become a zombie

Well that was another fun zombie action book. I have to say the zombies in this one are quite scary as they can climb vertically and have a degree of intelligence. It is always wonderful to have an axe-wielding woman as a main character and I loved our courageous fire-fighter, Meg.

Book 18 in my Zombie-a-thon!

CW: Extreme gore, suicide to avoid becoming a zombie, people are experimented on in attempt to create zombies/variants (human and animal) that can be controlled.

Well that was a satisfying conclusion to this series. I liked the new characters, particularly the female virologist. The virus, which was originally part of a military experiment, has mutated and effects both animals and humans. The scene with the virus mutated bats eating the alligator was quite something!
