“Zombie Rehab” is the second in Craig Halloran’s “Zombie Impact” series, about a world that doesn’t fall apart after the zombie apocalypse—instead, humanity rebounds and is determined to find a cure for zombie-ism. Formula XT might be a breakthrough—but the World Humanitarian Society’s goals are not as selfless as the organization claims, and once again Henry and Tori find themselves caught up in a fight against corruption (not to mention hordes of the undead).Like “Zombie Day Care,” the first in the series, “Zombie Rehab” mixes a blend of suspense, horror, gore, and tongue-in-cheek humor for a result that’s entertaining and compulsively readable. The WHS is more of a villain than the zombies themselves in this book—while the zombies are shambling and want to feast on your flesh, the WHS is actively, cleverly diabolical. As a reader, your investment in lead characters Henry and Tori make the stakes even higher as they try to do the right thing even in the face of increasing danger.Recommended to readers who enjoy horror in the zombie subgenre but are looking for something beyond gritty survivalist stories and into what happens if humans don’t just give up and let the zombies chase them.
