Publisher Description
Jayden Newberry is very creative when she retaliates against her cheating husband. She needs a life-changing event but she isn't expecting it to come in the form of an apocalypse. The wind carries whispers and acidic rain, and it is the end of life as Jayden and her group of survivors know it. Staying alive is of paramount importance, especially when family, friends, and strangers alike are either turned into shuffling dead things or outright killed when the event happens. Not only are the shufflers a deadly force to be avoided or destroyed, the group soon learns that not all humans are like them. Some have found the new world an opportunity to openly do what their sadistic minds only dreamed of before. Jayden and her group retain their humanity but they search for a safe haven to start over. There are a few ideas on the table, and right now, anything that gives them refuge from their dangerous world is worth considering. Jayden believes she knows what caused the end of the world. She knows it on a very deep, instinctual level. But knowing it is not the same thing as understanding it. And it does not matter who believes. The whispers will never give up their secrets. And Jayden is at risk of losing more than she ever would have imagined.
Customer Reviews
The Shuffler's Dance
Come on! Every tired, overworked zombie cliché ever. Stilted, stiff, unbelievable characters. Thin fare. You slapped together chunks from a half a dozen different novels, tv series, and movies to make an indigestible mess. Utterly and predictably derivative. It makes me really mad.
Live it. Go to Walmart and study real zombies. Walk out of the nearest city on your own two feet and then talk about exactly how your feet feel. Sleep on the ground in your back yard and tells us about it. Go to basspro or cabelas or borrow a crossbow and shoot it at a pumpkin or a head of cabbage and describe the sound the bolt makes leaving the crossbow and striking the target. Tell us about the solidity and heft of an axe as it strikes a cow bone. Then maybe maybe maybe you might have something that compels a reader to enter the world you create. Find a big dog writer to beat you up a little....and then thank them for it.
