YA Fanatic

I just love Jonathan Maberry. He has a way of writing these zombie books so well that you practically feel like you're living it and so realistic too. The short stories give you a real feel of the panic people went through during the first night - I actually wish more of the book focused on the 14 years later. 

Told in multiple perspectives and throughout different time periods of the series Jonathan Maberry tells what happened fourteen years ago, the start of the zombie apocalypse and what it was like to survive it or turn zom. Several of the stories are throughout the series and in between some of the Rot and Ruin books as well. 

The only thing I disliked were the stories throughout the series, like the before Dust and Decay. I read the series early on last year and had trouble remembering what was happening during the time period - I think if I had re-read the series before this it would have helped. 

But, Rot and Ruin fans will definitely be please with this 400 page plus addition to the series. It was definitely action packed and full of zombies and reapers (just what we love). While our favorite characters weren't in a lot if, the new characters made up for it and they weren't missed!
