I love when authors take old concepts and put an entirely new spin on them. That's exactly what
Brenda Mohammed did in
Zeeka Chronicles
Just when you thought you knew everything about Zombies, comes this imaginative tale that re-defines their existence.
Set in the future, new technology and scientific breakthroughs open the door to possibilities that are vaguely imaginable in this day and age.
This is a tale of love, lies, revenge and a deadly virus. There is a lot jam-packed into the plot, making for an exciting read.
There were two areas where this book fell short for me.
The first was the dialogue.
Having more than one person speak in the same paragraph can lead to confusion. It also created a situation in which the character speaking constantly needed to say the name of the person they were talking to. That, in itself, comes off as unnatural. I would also suggest the author put extra thought into the way certain characters would speak, especially professionals to each other at work.
The second was the romance.
I don't want to give away any spoilers, but I will say I felt it unrealistic, especially the female lead.
I will be watching for future works by this author. I love the originality and can't wait to see what she comes up with next.
