The Briggs Boys Mixtape is an action packed zombie horror novella that follows two completely different brothers trying their best to navigate the awful world they find themselves living in. The family dynamic is so relatable and heartwarming, as the two men don’t always see eye to eye, but they want nothing more than to keep their family and their humanity intact. It’s a fun zombie filled ride that kept me laughing while simultaneously on the edge of my seat.

This is is a fun little novella that takes place in the planet dead universe. This is a universe that is suffering a zombie virus. While this story is short, you do get to see a lot of the character’s personality as the author writes with present  and past events. While these events seem unmemorable to some, these are very obvious memories that are triggered by choice or something that happens. 

I found all the characters to be so lively. I really enjoyed this book. The story is super funny. Most definitely a read for those who want a quick fast paced action read.
