Summary:
Forget what you thought you knew about this story, because everything is about to change.
With Alyssa near death, Luke, Jacob and their companions make a desperate attempt to reach Boston with the final ingredient needed for the plague antidote. They must travel through the Canadian wilderness, some of the roughest country in North America. Along the way they are joined by new friends and old as they fight to reach their destination and save Alyssa. What they don’t know is that something is hunting them.
Something evil is lurking, waiting to strike when they least expect it.
After years of fighting courageously against the living plague, they’d thought they knew their enemy. They’d believed their wits, bravery and strength would be enough to win this fight against the threat that had overrun so much of the world they once knew. But they were wrong.
Now Luke, Risa, Jacob, DeAndre and Jonathan face their most dangerous trials yet as they battle the ever-present zombie threat, along with a new challenge they never saw coming. How many ways can this plague try to kill them? Find out, in the latest installment of the Mad World series.
Review:
I have been following this series from book one, and I was actually surprised by how much I liked these reads. I’m not a huge fan of zombies or apocalyptic books, but I found myself very much looking forward to the second and the third books. The third is different from the first two as we hear the story from Luke’s POV instead of Alyssa’s. Alyssa is actually near death after a battle with zombies, and her family, including son Luke who is half-zombie half-human, are on a mission to help get what could be the antidote to help cure her – and everyone else. The book has the same fast-paced action as the others, with a lot of graphic scenes and thrilling situations. While I enjoyed this book very much, I don’t think the writing was quite as tight as the first two. Some of the scenes felt rushed or forced. I still very much liked this book and the series as a whole, and I’ll be eager to read the fourth and final novel.
4 stars
Reviewer: Andrea I received a copy of this novel from the author in exchange for an honest review. Summary: Kelly Callahan had everything going for…
DA’s. Cops. Good guys. Bad Guys. Thriller. Suspense. Love Story.
Ellie Marston – has bad luck on her side. She is involved with something so wrong and doesn’t even know it. Her character unfolds a fictitious world she lived in to reestablish herself…
Paul Santiago – the man she accidentally falls for and has to figure out if he is the liar, the truth, or behind it all…
Be careful what you say…
The End was a quick and easy read. I found some parts of the plot to be a confusing web, needing a graphic organizer to keep the story straight. However, I enjoyed getting to know Ellie and watching her character grow. While I was not a huge fan of this book, it did keep my attention, but it was just not for me. Only my honest opinion. 3 ½ stars.
Favorite lines:
Regret was one of those things I sprinkled on my cereal for breakfast.
I’m a pushy jerkface wadcake because I don’t want anything to happen to you. You’re special to me.
Go ahead and fall baby. Fall hard. I’ll catch you, cause I’m already here.
Dire circumstances sometimes produced a certain aura of false bravado around me, making me bolder that I ought to be.
