With Primal Shift, Griffin Hayes has given me hope that there are new ways to write in the post-apocalyptic genre. From the beginning, the story grabbed my attention and kept me guessing as to where he was leading me. With multiple view points, he introduced and gave life to his characters, expanding and allowing them to grow as the story progressed. Each survivor had their own problems and issues that made the story unfold quickly.Wipers aren't zombies. They are scarier in my mind. They are people who have lost their ability to know right from wrong and they more often than not choose the wrong side, which luckily for me as a horror fan is usually the more violent choice. Each character has a different story line but Hayes bring things together well and sets the reader up to delve into the next book.In Primal Shift, I got a little of everything I look for in my reading: strong characters that I wanted to follow; violence, which is part of human nature and Hayes uses it well as a way to address the good versus evil in his story; and a crazy what if scenario that addresses the end of the world in a new way. I look forward to the next installment of Primal Shift.Hayes is a talented author who, more often than not, drags his readers kicking and screaming through his stories. Primal Shift is no different. Give Primal Shift a read if you're looking for a new take on the apocalypse written by a talented author.
