Book
Chat
Once a week
I’ll be discussing a Book or Movie/TV Series I love. Or posting a submission from a reader/author about a
movie or book in the horror or zombie genre. Sharing the love of a book or movie as if you were talking with a friend.
We continue with Book Chat and a review of a horror novel.
Sit down, relax and let’s chat
The offering this week is an action-packed zombie novel.
The Hungry
Steven W. Booth &
Harry Shannon
Urban Fantasy
Zombies. Murderous Bikers. Power-crazed Military Commanders.
And her Ex-Husband. Penny can’t catch a break in the fastpaced
adventure, The Hungry Meet Sheriff Penny Miller. Penny is the
kind of woman who will do whatever it takes to
protect those
she is sworn to serve, even when that includes a
murderous
biker, her wimpy ex-husband, a unit of
incompetent National
Guardsmen, and the scientist responsible for
releasing the
undead upon an unsuspecting world.
MY REVIEW:
Penny
is a bit unusual but add in her beauty and
she is not the normal career woman. When all heck breaks
loose at the jail where she is sheriff, no one believes the
undead are attacking. The heroine kicks it into high gear and
saves her companions from being torn to bits.
Penny’s kickass heroics continue throughout the tale as her
group runs into more people trying to survive the zombies.
The ending had a twist I didn’t expect. It is pretty hard to
come up with fresh perspectives on the undead lore, so that
was a nice surprise.
It was entertaining and a fun, action-packed ride. I would
have given it higher marks, but Penny’s colorful language threw me out of the story several times. If you don't like foul language, especially from the heroine, then this may not be the book for you. Otherwise, I still highly recommend it to zombie lovers as a good read.

ReplyDeleteYou'd probably enjoy it Cyrene. Really great heroine, just a bit too much colorful language for my liking.:)
