Ex-Heroes by Peter Clines
3.0
This one is all over the place.
Negatives: I'm sick of zombies and end of the world stories. I'm not a huge fan of super heroes. I don't like reading about battles and gory monster stuff.
Positives: origin stories of super heroes are cool. (Frustrating that they aren't more fleshed out here.) Love among super Heroes in a zombie apocalypse could be interesting and fraught with danger/angst.
More negatives: characters that are super annoying (mostly Stealth, the super hot Victoria's Secret model / genius / crabby leader of the Heroes)
More positives: cool/interesting characters like St. George and Gorgon and Cerberus.
I will make an allowance here because he's setting the stage for future books. I will try book two but it will have a short leash.
