This is not your average zombie book, folks.  These critters are mobile, agile and hostile and make for a much more credible threat than just about any other I have read.  Reading along about the devastation caused by these predators makes you wonder how anyone could survive.  The closest I can come to compare is with the night runners from Jim O'Brien's New World series, but the monsters of this book are clearly this author's own creation.Anyway, enough about the monsters.  The characters are what makes this piece work, and I found the development of Derek and Sasha and all the others to be believable and interesting.  The members of this little group are not two dimensional and the way Hud and Travis step up later in the book shows the complexity I appreciate.  What you see is not always what you get.  The author understands this and I found her drawing of all her "family" to be a bittersweet treat.On note of advice addressed to the author- if you are going to write about gun-totting characters, do a little research on the subject.  Not being critical here (note the 5 star review), but a short time spent beefing up your knowledge in this area will add a great deal of authenticity to your stories.  If nothing else, ask a vet or hunter.  They usually be will be glad to help.  Now get back to work so I can read your next book!
