About this audiobook

Billions died and rose again, hungry for human flesh. When the nightmare reached Sheriff Danielle Adelman's small mountain community of Forest Peak, California, it was too late for warnings . . . forcing her to lead a small group of survivors out of hell, all the while seeking her estranged runaway sister at any cost.

Two years later, the undead have evolved. Now, besides the shambling, mindless cannibals are the hunters-cunning and fast, like wolves-and the thinkers, whose shocking intel­ligence and single-minded predatory obsession may mean the downfall of what's left of humanity. As Danny leads a ragtag band of the living through the remnants of the American Midwest, rumors arise of a safe place somewhere east. But the closer they get to it, the more certain Danny becomes that something evil waits for them at the end of the line. With an unspeakable secret riding beside her and an unbreakable promise made to a small, silent boy, Danny must stake everything she has-her leadership, her sanity, and her life- in order to defeat the ultimate horror in a terrifying and dying world.

    This sequel came out of the gate with a roar! While I found the first book mediocre, this one blew me away from beginning to end. Danny is still kicking ass and leading her tribe through the zombie apocalypse. As if the zombies mutating and being able to think and act like humans isn't enough, humans themselves act without thinking and cause themselves misery and pain. If something seems too good to be true in a zombie apocalypse, IT is! Danny may not be a perfect person, but she has a sense of loyalty and justice. She recognizes you can't save everyone but you can do something! The ending wasn't wrapped in tule and tied with a bow, but it was the right ending. Loved, loved, loved this book!

    Well... I gave 5 stars to book one, and started to give only 4 stars to this one. Then I re-thought my assessment and have to say that this book is nearly as good as book one (caveats follow). And if you have read book one, you pretty much have to read this one too because, otherwise, you will never know what happened to Danny. If you liked book one for its realistic characters and zombie action, you should probably find this one stands on equal ground; it is as good in that sense as the first book was.So, why is this book not quite as good? Only because there was a bit too much mid-story filler about Danny on a bender which didn't add anything to the story line, and the zombies just brushed on the edge of being too extreme. Yes, I know, they are zombies... but... we expect zombies to fit within certain parameters, and the survivors' responses to them to also fit within these parameters; in this book, however, it just "got a little weird". But, the more I think about it, the more I realize that the shift in zombie - we'll call them "attributes" - was sort of a logical progression, given how they started. Though I don't think I can accept the late-story acceptance/attitude of "zombies are people too". (I sort of wonder if this theme was meant to have some moral behind it... but since I ignore morals in stories, I'm not sure if that was the intent, or just my perception.) Anyway, the story is wrapped up in the end - though maybe not the way we would have preferred it to be.
