Dead of Night: A Zombie Novel by Jonathan Maberry
4.0
So yeah, a zombie book. I really don't go looking for these, honest. But it's hard to ignore when I come across reviews and tons of raves for works like this and Brian Keene's The Rising. I just have to read for myself.
I had promised myself I would read more Jonathan Maberry after I had given up on his Pine Deep trilogy. The first novel of that was very good, but once he got into a romantic angle in the second book, it was so pedestrian that it almost made me physically ill.
But, it was becoming evident that he was vastly improving since then, so I stuck this one on the list.
I was on vacation in Cancun last week and thought this would be a fun beach read. Was it ever.
Maberry takes the zombie trope and makes it totally his own. Very entertaining and suspenseful stuff, and the romantic angle? Very well done. This was great news because I really like his ideas and pacing.
I'll read more of him for sure now, four really solid stars!
