*I got a free advanced copy for an honest review.
When the Walking Dead television series there seemed to be an
influx of zombie books to capitalize on its popularity. It has been a while
since I read a zombie series because I wanted to leave the theme for a while to
cleanse my palette so to speak. When I came across this novella that is a part
of a series, I thought it might be a good time to jump back in with zombie
stories. This Game of Survival has an interesting premise of a second wave of
undead after the first initial phase. Kind of like an aftershock following an
earthquake. It would be interesting to see how the survivors would react to
having to go through the experience again. The problem with the book in my
opinion is that I found it hard to believe that the main characters survived the
first event. They are constantly making mistakes of getting into situations
where you wonder how they survived at all. I look forward to the day when I read
a series that keeps me engaged, unfortunately this series is not one to do it.
2.5 out of 5 stars.
