This is not just a story of zombies shambling around and chasing people but more of the story of the survivors…those left in the world to make it through to another day…alive! And it was with much trepidation that I opened up Deadlocked 8 to begin reading. This was to be the last book in what I feel is one of the best zombie apocalypse series out there. I have been following this series by Mr. Wise from the beginning and I hated to see it end! With the writing style of this very talented author…I had come to love so many characters that had been written with such heart in this story and knowing that Mr. Wise is known for surprises in his stories…I had no idea what was in store for all of my favorites. I knew one thing, and that was I was in for one helluva good ending, regardless of who lived or who died!As I started reading…the action started and emotions were running high for me. I held my breath through so many of the scenes…hoping and praying that the outcome would be a good one! As I got closer to the end…I was reading in such a melancholy mood…knowing that this would be the last time I would be on an adventure with Laura, Annie, Billy, Zach, Ben and all of the High Rollers who were there from the beginning…the ones who were out to save the world from total destruction. It was the last time I would follow along as they went from one safe haven to the next…hoping to find peace in this world that had been created for them. Where people were turned into monsters with one thought…food and that food being humans! The food that would sustain them and it not mattering to them if it was a friend…family member or an enemy! No…the Poppers and Greys didn’t care who you were…only that they must catch you and end your life. Yes…as I turned each page I had no idea what the outcome would be…would I be happy…would I hate it…Well…I won’t say which way I felt because that would give away the ending and there is no way I will do that to anyone! No…you will have to read this amazing journey for yourself to find out. I will say one thing though…I sat here…such an emotional wreck as the ending was drawing nearer. At one point….I couldn’t see the pages because I was crying so hard! Yes…this is a very emotional story…one that stays with you even after you have turned that last page. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who has an interest in zombie stories or anyone looking to have something that is well written…and one that will keep you reading late into the night. I would also recommend that you start the story at the beginning with the first book Deadlocked so you know each story of the people in this magnificent journey that AR Wise has created.
