I discovered the Deadlocked series while searching for a book about zombies. I had never read anything in this genre before but had started watching The Walking Dead on TV and thought I would see what was out there on the subject. Deadlocked was the first book that after reading the blurb really caught my interest. Then after reading the reviews and seeing that the book was free(and still is) I figured there was nothing to lose except the time to start it and see if I would like it. I am so glad I took that chance! This is not just a series about creatures walking around eating living people. This series is about the lives that are affected by the Apocalypse and how they cope with what is happening to the world. AR Wise takes you into their thoughts...lives...and feelings to such a depth you feel like you are there with them. As each book progresses you find yourself liking some and hating others. You cheer for the good guys and jeer at the bad guys. You come to love some characters only to find they lose the fight...in this series....NO ONE is safe! I cold not wait for book seven to be released and found myself checking Amazon so many times in anticipation to find out what had happened after book six. In book seven we are taken to the same place where book six left off where the Rollers(the good guys) are fighting against the evil ones in what is a very important scene in the book(to me any way). This book is written in the present and the past which gives us insight to a lot of what has led each character to where they are today. We learn what they loved, how they lived and what they have lost along the way to try and save humanity. I can't recommend this series enough. If you are like me and are looking for something different to read than normal...then do yourself a favor and get a copy of Deadlocked and find out for yourself how engrossing this series is. You have nothing to lose and will Thank yourself for doing it. Thank you Mr. Wise for such a great series and I look forward to book eight with much anticipation!
