The books I'm referring too are less about the gore and scare factor though. I love the stories of survival that they tell, and the strong characters that are found in their pages.
The first Zombie book I read was:
The Forest of Hands and Teeth
By Carrie Ryan
This was a brilliant start to her trilogy.
I loved all three installments.
Carrie Ryan's books are not about Zombies. But instead the Zombies are apart of the setting. They are just an every day reality and obstacle that the characters in her books have to deal with to survive.
I just finished the last book, last night.
I loved Annah in The Dark and Hollow Places. She was a strong character, who had her weaknesses, and was fighting an internal battle, as well as dealing with the raging war and tumult around her.
Now I feel the need to go back and re-read the entire set now that I can see how intertwined each installment is with the ones before and after it.
The other Zombie series that I had started reading was:
Rot & Ruin
By Jonathan Maberry
Once again, I enjoyed the characters in this one.
So far this series has more... Zombie Hunting and the Zombie's were more of an element of the actual story, since you know. People where hunting them, insted of trying to avoid them/just survive.
This one has a lot of mixed reviews on GoodReads.
But I enjoyed it, so I guess it's just a book you need to read before you have an opinon on.
I have the second book of the series on hold now.
So hopefully I will be reviewing that soon.
