BOOK TRAILER: http://youtu.be/ociUHiL1g70

Val was bitten by a zombie and now she's scheduled for lethal injection. Breaking all the rules, Dean Walters snags vials of an experimental serum. But it can't be tested until Val turns into a zombie: something authorities won't allow. Her execution is scheduled to happen before transformation is complete, giving Dean only hours to break her out.

When their helicopter crashes straight into the heart of Zombie Land, his rescue mission becomes a fight for survival…and giving up on Val is NOT an option.

Great Potential, Horribly Executed

The Good

1) The plot doesn’t particularly stand out, but is entertaining enough to keep reading.
2) Unlike most zombie books I’ve read, there is no swearing at all.
3) The violence is described in detail, but not to the point where you’re grossed out.

The Mixed

1) There are several cliche characters and decisions in this book, but if you’re just reading this for pleasure, it shouldn’t be bothersome.

The Bad

1) This is some of the worst dialogue I’ve read in my life. The author clearly has no experience writing it whatsoever. Every line is something corny or extremely off-topic that nobody would ever say in real life.
2) The laws of physics apparently do not apply when the characters are in danger. For example, a character survives being unconscious in a helicopter after it crashed . . . and had been burning for several minutes! If the flames didn’t kill them, the smoke would’ve!

Final Verdict

This series really has some great potential. It’s relatively unique, and the zombies themselves are written and described very well. If those two huge problems I mentioned before didn’t exist, I would give it a 4/5. But the dialogue and unrealistic physics hack it to pieces, so I can only give it a 2/5.
I don’t know for sure, but this story sounds like the work of a new author who is improving, but not quite adept at writing yet. I believe this is a series, so they may improve as the books come out.
If you’re someone looking for your next serious read, don’t choose this, but if you’re looking to kick back with a quick zombie book over the weekend, then this is the one for you.
