Review: Fabulous Start to a New Series
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 07 26, 2013
This is the first book in a trilogy. Therefore it needs to bring us all up-to-date on just how this world came to be. The thing that brought this down a rating for me is the huge info dump that started the book. There is a way to get that much needed information to the reader in a much more natural way than just filling the narrative up with information. I found myself skimming, quite a bit, over the first several pages.Once the back story was out of the way, this was a fascinating new world that caught my attention and I most definitely ceased my skimming.Maisie can shoot like a military sniper: cleanly, calmly, and with deadly accuracy. Seth comes upon her and a family just as zombies attack. He sincerely hopes that she realizes that HE is helping them, while he's wearing fur, and she really shouldn't shoot him. But then she does. But that was to save him. Trust me, it makes sense when you read it.Instead of being enraged, Seth is intrigued by this sprite of a girl who can take care of herself. When she takes him to the clinic where she works to get patched up, I did laugh, while HE was offended. Once they are past that, there is something about her that he wants to protect and cherish. Of course, convincing her of that might be harder than fighting off a hoard of zombies.I enjoyed the supporting cast and will most definitely be watching for the rest of the books in this trilogy.3.5 Bookmarks, rounded to FOUR for AmazonThis is a wonderful start to an exciting new world! I most definitely do rec this one.This review and others can be seen at my blog, First Page to the Last . com
