Family Reunion "J": When the Apocalypse happens only one thing matters, Family by P. Mark DeBryan

I was so excited to see this book pop up on my Kindle! I read Family Reunion, (I highly recommend it..especially if you are considering this book), and wondered how things were going for Ryan's family. Now I am eager for the next book to find out if Ryan will make it back home.
This is the second book of the series. In the first Ryan is on the west coast when the apocalypse happens. His family, J and their children are on the east coast. That is my nightmare. I have family in several states and being far away from them is something I can relate to. The first book is about Ryan and other family members of his. This book is about J and her search for her children. It also is the story of the Dr whose vaccine started it all. There is more to that but you need to read it.
I feel that the author does an excellent job making his characters real people. I really liked J and understood her need to gather up her children. Another character I really liked is Auddy. She is the daughter of Ryan and J. The family is very loving and a strong unit, even though they are separated. Both J and Auddy demonstrated this. It would be easy to hate the Dr who was responsible for the outbreak, if this were another book. In this book, though, he is made human. His relationship with his son Simon is beautiful. I held my breath and my heart raced with things that happened to them. I think that is a big draw for me...the family love in this series. My family means everything to me. I would fight for them too. I finished this book hoping they were all okay and that I will see them again in the next book.
There is the typical stuff you find in zombie books. There are a few references to sex scenes but they are not really explicit and brief. If you are looking for something with no violence, language or adult situations then you might want to keep shopping. If you are looking for something with mega gory violence, lots of colorful language and explicit sex scenes you may also want to check out other books. But if you are looking for a good story that has realistic people, some violence and gore, that makes your heart pound and your stomach clench click the buy button. I would recommend that you also buy Family Reunion. Both books can be read alone but you will enjoy it more if you read them both.
