Epidemic Mad World Book 1 Review and Giveaway

Scientists there have recently begun examining samples of bone marrow from plague-infected corpses unearthed in Europe. All the necessary safeguards are in place. What could go wrong?
Alyssa and Jake are away with their class on a highly anticipated year-end trip to Broadway with their senior acting class when all hell breaks loose at home.

Find out what’s got everyone so terrified.”

My Review

Zombies. Who doesn’t love a good zombie story? Epidemic puts a slightly different spin on the zombie virus story line by incorporating the Black Plague into it. Your immediately drawn in by the first paragraph and the book doesn’t let you go. Alyssa is one of the most kick-ass characters I’ve come across in awhile. She never stops and keeps getting back up. She keeps her friends going even as some of them lose their lives to the zombies. The author gives them all such depth and the descriptions of their travels puts a very clear picture in your head and puts true fear in your heart. From New York to California to Arizona you will be on the edge of your seat breathless to read what happens next. The ending of book one is a tearful cliffhanger that will make you rush to grab book #2, Sanctuary. 5/5!
