I loved each and every one of the Zombie Chronicles books to date and I can't wait to read the next one. I hope the author will keep writing them for a long time. In the fifth instalment, Dean realizes the serum isn't as stable as they previously thought. While zombies can be 'cured' for a brief time, some turn into hybrids. Getting rid of zombies is a matter of shooting them; getting rid of hybrids is a whole different issue because they retain their ability to think. They stalk their prey, devise plans and organize their attacks. I loved this twist in the story. It's nothing I've ever read or seen before and that makes the series unique to me because originality is hard to find. And the author has plenty of that. The end wasn't a cliffhanger to me but I cannot wait for the next book to come out to see where the author's taking the story.The series is well written and full of suspense, there's no doubt about that. It's not your typical lovey-dovey fantasy with heroes and heroines with no backbone. This one has strong characters who are both likeable and have a backstory to them. Forget the usual lovey-dovey boy gets girl and they live happily ever after, this series has quite a bit of romance in it but also unpredictable action elements, twists and turns I didn't see coming. I like it when a book grips me and keeps me on the edge of my seat, and this one did just that. Absolutely a page turner I would recommend to everyone who likes their books unpredictable, action-packed and full of suspense.
