Siege & Survival by T.W. Brown
4.0
Man this episodic installment in the Dead series has a couple of heart-wrenching chapters in the middle there that made it a bit difficult to read through the tears.
I meant to say this before, in a review I have yet to write for book 2 :P, this author can write. Nothing groundbreaking in the scenarios or difficulties faced by survivors but his ability to write characters that we care about makes everything seem... fresh. Maybe fresh isn't the right word, let's try dire. There is no "been-there-done-that" feeling when our survivors are fighting off zombies or raiders - I feel the tension.
Two issues I have with this story - Steve is riding my last nerve like a cowboy breaking a bronco to saddle with his "this is my fault" mantra. Give it a rest. Aaaannnnd, I did not get that ending at all. I understand it, I just don't know if I like or dislike it. I hope I am making sense :)
NB The term survivors is used to loosely describe the groups of rotating members because in this series, main characters die. I know I'm not making sense now :) In my defense, I've been up for 24+ hrs... and I'm starting to see zombies.
My heart belongs to Thalia :)
