The Hunger ChroniclesFirst thing I have to address is the Title. I think it is too Hunger Games-ish. I am not sure if it came before or after but I think it was after and the title really distracts from such an interesting collection. These stories are not trying to be Hunger Games to me and I think the title gives that impression.There are four stories, each about a different person and situation in a post-apocalypse world where an infection, the z-virus, is turning humans into flesh eating zombies.Imminent Contact is a story of hope and, to me, forgiveness. It features Amy, a kick ass military soldier bent on reclaiming the streets. She is on a mission to clear a city block with three other soldiers when things go unexpectantly wrong. ‘nuff said won’t ruin it.End of the Rope left me hanging! LOL! I needed to know more. Megan is left alone in a cabin after her parents are infected. She is lonely and ill prepared. I hope Tes Hilaire finishes this story or we meet up with her again.Two’s Company was my favorite. It features man best friend. It had me biting my nails and skimming forward to see how things turned out.And finally The Fittest. I have to admit I didn’t really get this one at first. It’s a lead up to the book “Life Bites” and features Eva. I read the synopsis of Life Bites a few times and always passed it up but after reading these stories I got it for my Kindle. It takes the Zombie outbreak into a more paranormal realm.
