Review: Fascinating, frightening, seriously scary in bits, unusual zombie fic entirely worth reading...

So many zombie books, so little time. Love, love, love the character of Jake. After unique kills and super zombie variations, it's really all about the character and their journey. 'A Very Good Man (Dead End)' features Jake, a truly fascinating protagonist who is hard-working, ethical and entirely capable of doing what needs to be done to protect what remains of humanity (and sometimes, more often than not, that means shooting and killing the idiot human whose talking too loud). Fun to read slightly more detailed survivalist actions amid a plot built around Jake and the, mostly, ninnies that he is helping to survive. I especially enjoyed reading about how lazy, back-stabbing, superficial, stupid and purely ignorant some of the other characters were. I sometimes have a Pollyanna view of humanity and it was refreshing to have the author really examine the idiocy of many humans in a post-apocalyptic world. Also, there are some really cool and unusual supernatural concepts (and characters) involved in this zombie post-apocalyptic fiction story. Happy reading~* PS. Last night I stayed up most of the night to readA Very Good Neighbor (Dead End)! #addictive
