I was looking for a new zombie series to read while I wait for Joseph Talluto to publish book six of his White Flag of the Dead Series and stumbled across this one.I enjoyed it, it was an easy read and I like how all four of the books are packaged so you know you don't have to wait in between books. (altho I am not sure if there is a book 5? It almost hinted at another story involving Ruby at the end.)This was a fun, gory read, with some interesting twists that I have never seen in a zombie book before. I also liked the aspect of the main character being a father and everything he went through because of that. There were a couple things I did not quite understand, but maybe it was just something I didn't read properly. In the beginning, the zombies almost seemed far more human, eg: the mother nursing the baby, and the old woman feeding Ruby a bottle.. but then they revert back to the more mindless type of zombies (with the exception of when they were under a chemical influence.) But it is something that made me wonder the whole book. I was wondering if there were going to be "smart" zombies, like the series What Zombies Fear. So I kept expecting something more to come of it, or for it to be explained. But it might be something addressed further in another book.The story was told from the main characters perspective and I guess he didn't really know so it makes sense the reader wouldn't know either.Despite being curious about the zombies I really enjoyed this book and couldn't put it down.Duke of the Un-Dead (Un-Dead Series)
