OH COME ON M. Lauryl Lewis!! WHY did you do what you did at the end!!??..lol Seriously, I LOVED this book. The whole series is just awesome. I was starting to get a bit frustrated with the whole zombie genre, looking for something to grab my attention and renew my love for the survivors of crappy world catastrophes (mostly of the zombie variety) when I come across the first book in this series. I was like "ok, I will give it a go". Most times if a book does not grab my attention with in the first few chapters I will push it down my TBR's endless pile. This series hooked me with the first two chapters easy, bar none! One of the many things I love about this particular series is the part our main female character, Grace, plays in this story. M. Lauryl Lewis added a supernatural ability for Grace. She can "see" through the zombies eyes, if they have any..lol, and she knows...most of the time...if they are around. Now, most of the time you would assume that the fact that she has added a supernatural flare to this type of series would draw away from the story and make it into something that would suck, leaving the "survivors" to have a too easy time of it. Not so in this case. Ms. Lewis has incorporated some supernatural abilities into this story and has made it so that the group of survivors do not always rely on that alone. Our main character has had to learn not to just rely on her "gift" and nothing else as well. It makes for a much better story. The survivors us it as a tool. It is hard to find a zombie book with supernatural anything in it and have it be a truly good read. It is achieved beautifully in this series! She even puts creepy little zombie kids (which is truly terrifying to me!!) in this book. And not just any zombie kids, ones that sound and sometimes LOOK like normal kids! But are anything but normal living children! More like little demons coming out to play with their food first! And they do like to play with their food...yuck! Truly diabolical..lol! I would recommend this to ANYONE who loves the Zombie genre. It is such a awesome read! There are plot twists that you do not expect, and it is truly a good horror series! This is one of the few series/books that I have that when I begin to read, it ain't getting put down till I see the last sentence! So, join M. Lauryl Lewis's World of Zombies with the rest of us! You won't be disappointed! Keep an eye out for Praying for Grace, the 5th book in the Grace Series! To be released sometime this year! I know it is on my "Books I am definitely buying" list!
