I had a really hard time writing this review. Mainly because this book isn't super great, and it isn't absolutely horrible. It's right dead (no pun intended) center middle of the road. The writings decent, the plot moves along at a good pace, with lots of action to keep you involved and routing for the good guys. There is a lot of head hopping, but for me that wasn't an issue. Yet it might have been the only glaring thing in the book was the misuse of multiple points of view.There was a lot of telling and I understood why, but I wish the author could have found a better way to deliver that information. It was necessary that we learn it to know what's going on in the book, but just tossing it in there like that, well it felt like an info dump.While there were a lot of characters, Xander, a hockey playing every man, and  Dan, a cop, were the two I became invested in (although I use the term loosely). These were the two prominent characters, in my opinion, and they were good. You could empathize with them, they were average Joes, just trying to survive.There was one small thing that peeked my interested and that was how the zombies acted and the fact that they became zombiecicles in the winter, that I found to be a stroke of genius. You never see zombies in the winter, except for that one movie with the Nazi zombies but I'm off track. The other thing that sets this book apart from others is it's set in Canada (if you didn't get that from the title) which gives it kind of a unique feel. If you're a fan of Night of the Living Dead movies then you'll probably like this book.I got a copy of this book from the author.
