After reading That Semicolon Bitch had to die I needed another Tom Conrad fix. With this book I got every bit and more. It's fast paced, funny, and quirky. I'm not one to read about zombies but it sounded interesting and from my previous read I couldn't not give it a chance.We find Frankie Drake, Jack (his brother), and Sydney (their father) hunkered down in their home keeping out of sight from rogue zombies. During the London Olympics something goes awry and a fast spreading infection occurs leaving the citizens to lock themselves up in their homes for risk of being eaten alive or infected. Frankie is not only concerned for his family but also a woman who broke his heart and moved on leaving him to wallow. Out of the blue She contacts him and after several IM's, nothing. Concerned he stays up all night waiting. He reaches out but is abruptly cut off and dredd sinks in his gut. Frankie is determined to save her, show her he is a man! But will he get to her in time?This journey from manboy to self aware man had me hoping that Frankie would grow a pair and get the girl. I also loved Sydney, the chain smoking dad with having to add his own 2 cents. And the big brother Jack, strong and take charge, who's own fiancee was out in the streets risking her life.The author definetly has a way with words, connecting with the reader and holding their attention. This was a great fast paced read. You won't be disappointed.
