Oh, NOW I get the cover! ( )

Fun bit of brain candy... ( )

That was a surprise! So i bought this before reading the second volume and regretted it. While the second book is not bad by any means, i felt it was played out and wouldn't have continued the series if i hadn't already grabbed this one when i seen it on sale.

Now however... totally back on board. The problem was that Angel completes her character arc by the end of the first book so there didn't really seem like a lot of areas the character could go after that. The second volume only confirmed this by focusing more on the zombie action than character.

However this volume fixes all that, giving Angel new goals, bringing in new characters and threats and just doing a very solid job all round. Although it doesn't have the novelty factor of the first book i would say its the best written so far.

Plenty of character plenty of zombie action. The only thing which suffers is the actual conspiracy stuff which gets shoved to the background, but i doubt many people care about that anyway.

The author does a good job of recapping everything thats happened so far in as organic a way as such things can be done. Some might feel those bits are redundant, i was fine wth them. Although even with all the recapping the actual conspiracy details becomes so convoluted that i lost track of who was working for who.

All 3 books have an ending, which i appeciate, no cliffhangers. However i did notice a LOT of unfinished threads being laid out in this one, plus the character count is getting pretty high now so a lot to keep track of.
One minor quibble, while i understand it from a story POV, the drip feeding of information can be a little annoying, especially concerning exactly what a zombie can do and how they work.

Overall though actually close to giving it 5 stars and i'm almost certain to buy the next entry, so mission accomplished Miss Rowland ;) . ( )

Movie zombies, floods, and corporate espionage, oh my! Angel Crawford continues to learn about her new world, and continues to develop as a character. It's another fun installment in an entertaining series! ( )

We've moved beyond making our undead lives better and moved on to survival mode mixed with corporate zombie mafia espionage. Still enjoyable, and I think I'll be keeping up with the series faithfully from now on.
