ā€œMangle grabbed the Taser and held it a few inches from the hole in the lock plate. He fired. The electrodes impregnated the lock with an ejaculation of voltage that caused a popping and fizzing from the compromised lock and an acrid smell of burning plastic.ā€

I repeat: ā€œThe electrodes impregnated the lock with an ejaculation of voltage.ā€
ā€¦.
*shudders* So edgy. So groundbreaking. I could seriously vomit.

I cannot believe I found the will to finish it quite frankly. This book is why I donā€™t trust a lot of the ratings on Goodreads. The writing was juvenile, the dialogue in particular was god awful, none of the characters had any chemistry and nothing made sense. I donā€™t think Iā€™ve ever read something so unrealistic that it made me mad. The bad guys the ā€œgangā€ were running from were supposed to be a big threat. Ronald made it look like it was the easiest thing in the world to do. An adversary means fuck all to a story if you can just run right through them. Thereā€™s so tension or risk. Not impressed.

Rating: 1 Star

I struggled to get through this book. DNF after 106 pages. This manuscript? Rough draft? needed SO much editing, it was difficult to call it a complete book. The characters were boring and unrealistic. The dialogue was awkward. Maybe after a few rounds of editing, this could be a more exciting read.

Read like a bad action movie and disappointingly (for me) there were a total of zero zombies.

Not a bad book. I wanted more from the ending, but I liked it.

Itā€™s shit. Writing worse than my 11 year old niece. Muslim characters that are breaking their religion but actively going to the mosque? Donā€™t get me started on the misogyny. Which is fine and dandy in a horror novel if thereā€™s a purpose. In this case there was NOT. Canā€™t forget to mention the rest of the bland characters and development. I was rooting for the zombies tbh.
