This was such a good book!  The storyline was really fresh and somewhat different than your average zombie book but it had enough of the standard that it was comfortable too.Jim, Nic, their kids and neighbor have always been "preppers" but the day they are prepping for is not the day they got!  Several things happen in the beginning of the book that will come full circle in this series, I love stuff like that!  When you are reading the end of a book or series and there is that head slapping moment when it all comes together for you. I enjoyed this soooo very much!  I had bought the two when I was on a book buying spree.  To be perfectly honest I go through these phases where I will go through and try to find as many books as I can that are appealing to me and are either free or. 99.  I love reading, and unfortunately I somehow got in the I don't get to be rich line when I was being created.  I don't know how it happened, my husband has always said my compass was broken so maybe I headed west when it should have been east.  Who knows?  The thing is these books, Phoenix Rising and Through the Ashes were a tiny bit out of that price range I have set for e-books and authors I have never read before.  They had high star reviews & I was in a rush so I just 1 clicked them.  Later I realised that they had not had very many reviews at all.  Uh oh!  I mean I could write a book and with family that love me get a couple of 5 star reviews.  Well I read them, they earned every one of the 5 stars I gave them and then some.It is very difficult to give reviews without spoilers!  That's why you poor people end up with my personal ramblings.  The bottom line is...This guy can WRITE!  READ THIS BOOK!!!!  After it read Through the Ashes.  Really good zombie story!
