Review: Pretty good Resident Evil knockoff
Rating: 4 out of 5

This was pretty good for a zombie book. A fairly trite storyline- a virus escapes from a lab and turns Joe and Jane Average into undead, flesh eating mutants and two tough chics, Waverly and Remi battle their way toward a safe haven while cleaving zombie heads with machete's. Sound like Resident Evil? You bet.What sets this apart from other Resident Evil knockoffs is the character development in Waverly and Remi. They are very well constructed and believable. this is also a strong area for supporting characters. Writing is overall pretty decent.I also like the special abilities stuff that is introduced in both Remi, and Waverly- the Starborn tie-in. This adds a little zing to the story and elevates it above other zombie fare in my view.All in all a respectable effort and fairly decent reading. I plan to buy the other books in the series.
