Review: I so didn't see that coming

I downloaded "Underneath" by David Dewitt, a book of short stories, and enjoyed it so much. At the end he included the first couple chapters of his zombie book, "Orpheus." I had to find out what happened next, so I bought it. Orpheus is a great zombie book, and I see Dewitt's writing growing stronger. There are a lot of zombie books out there, zombie's are the "in" thing right now, and so many of them just aren't good. Then there are some very good books like "Ashes" or "Rot & Ruin." DeWitt's Orpheus, while maybe not as polished, is a terrific entry into the zombie genre.The plot is a man trying to find his college aged son after the zombie breakout. The storyline follows several groups of survivors, good and bad guys, and zombies. There are plot twists, and turns, things I never saw coming. Dewitt even comes up with a new and believable zombie type.I think some of the best books in this genre have characters we come to care about, a good story line, and then zombies. Orpheus has it all. I am looking forward to more books by the author.
