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 zombie novel.
Sit down, relax and let’s chat
The offering this week is an exciting book by Rhiannon Frater.
The First Days (As the World Dies, Book One)
BLURB:
Rhiannon Frater's As the World Dies trilogy is an internet sensation. The first two books, The First Days and Fighting to Survive, have won the Dead Letter Award for Best Novel from Mail Order Zombie. The First Days was named one of the Best Zombie Books of the Decade by the Harrisburg Book Examiner. AmericanHorrorBlog calls Rhiannon Frater "a writer to watch."
The morning that the world ends, Katie is getting ready for court and housewife Jenni is taking care of her family. Less than two hours later, they are fleeing for their lives from a zombie horde.
Thrown together by circumstance, Jenni and Katie become a powerful zombie-killing partnership, mowing down zombies as they rescue Jenni's stepson, Jason, from an infected campground.
They find sanctuary in a tiny, roughly fortified Texas town. There Jenni and Katie find they are both attracted to Travis, leader of the survivors; and the refugees must slaughter people they know, who have returned in zombie form.
Fast-paced and exciting, filled with characters who grab your heart, The First Days: As the World Dies is the beginning of a frightening trilogy.

My Review:
5 Stars!
The character Jenni was a great way to kick this book
off. Describing a mom in shock as she watches her baby's ( now a zombie) tiny
fingers scrabbling under the front door. Baby wants mom, but not in a good
way!
Katie rescues Jenni and they set off across country
together, discovering horrors that the zombie plaque have created for them.
They also find out how self-sufficient they are in surviving this world. But
they definitely seem to need each other. Jenni is a more fragile character and
is too dependent on Katie, but after reading her story, you can understand why her
sanity is questionable at times.
Once they find the sanctuary city (real
sanctuary, not a political sideshow), it is clear they may have a shot at
real safety. There are many compelling characters introduced, especially the
two handsome, rugged men who will of special interest to the two gals. The
descriptions of how everyone pitched together to secure their walled home was
impressive. If you love zombie stories, like I do, mainly because of the great
characters and seeing how people survive the apocalypse, you will enjoy this
book.
