Nestled in the Appalachian Mountains and dissected by three rivers, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania is an idyllic city. It's quiet, the traffic is nonexistent, and floating down the Allegheny River on a boat is peaceful and serene.

It's perfect… as long as you can ignore the mindless monstrosities roaming the streets, vampires ruling the night, and the insane, power-hungry human s ...more

I used the lure of this book to drag my bootie to the gym and the reclining bike after the non-stop excitement of book one, Devoured. It certainly worked in terms of heart rate elevation and distraction. However, in terms of brain-stimulation, I was a little disappointed it focused more on the human threat from fascists militia-types. It's pretty freaking obvious that people are the real threat (just listen to the news!), so for me, this wasn't as interesting as I had hoped.

As our troupe of mer I used the lure of this book to drag my bootie to the gym and the reclining bike after the non-stop excitement of book one, Devoured. It certainly worked in terms of heart rate elevation and distraction. However, in terms of brain-stimulation, I was a little disappointed it focused more on the human threat from fascists militia-types. It's pretty freaking obvious that people are the real threat (just listen to the news!), so for me, this wasn't as interesting as I had hoped.

As our troupe of merry misfits seeks to provide for themselves, they debate whether or not they should head to a safe camp. I felt some of the dialogue and action was overdone from the more personal balance of the first book. You like that banter from book one? We have mohr! You want militants? We have even mohr! You want blood-sucking monsters? We've got mohr, mohr, mohr! It worked out, I suppose, especially when balanced by a peaceful interlude, but still, I am generally annoyed by the amped-up phenomenon. Yeah, I know I'm reading a monster book. Shuddup.

Speaking of, we have monsters, which is absolutely fine and scary, but then we also have srsly Too Stupid To Live Moments. The heroes are self-referential enough to acknowledge the "don't go into the basement by yourself" phenomenon, but then split up to search an armed encampment. They refuse help from someone more prepared then they are, which will clearly lead to them ending up in a disastrous situation. Later, they take someone new to them, high, stupid and literally unaware of the apocalypse (view spoiler) Of course that provides the match strike for the metaphorical firestorm. Of course. Because why write it as if our heroes had any sense and normal bad luck provides the trigger? Then there's the personality overhaul of the doctor, who goes from dedicated, disbelieving, cringing helper to Massive Spoiler. I'm all in favor of spontaneous personality overhauls--I wish a certain President would undergo one--but I kind of like to have reasons, you know? I know--monster book. Shuddup.

On a personal note, I think I dislocated my eye when --mild spoiler--(view spoiler) Serious eyerolling. I don't even know why we went there, because the reasons for striking back at the monsters were always in the making, and foreshadowed frequently. So why? Why must you torture me with these Lifetime drama moments in a monster book??

It did have a fast-n-furious pace, with a steady and predictable variety of conflicts. In short, it was basically a good, solid Walking Dead episode where we discover people are the real assholes (of course). ...more

So, Lance and Cass are back again and this time with a vengance for survival.

They are still being comical in their banter when up against the Vladdies...Ralph is still a threat...some questions are finally answered for Lance.

And there may be a few surprises along the way!

Even though this ends in a cliffhanger (sort of) - I love the ending as it is!

Continuing the story of self-proclaimed loser Lance York and his wild-card partner Cass: the two have gained two new friends in Doc Brown and Eifort and are still trying to survive the Xavior virus that has turned millions into blood-thirsty monsters.

Things become even more complicated when the Minutemen (introduced in the first novel) become more of a threat. Lance and his crew are rushed to find shelter before it all comes down on them. By day they worry about the maniac leader of the Minutemen, Ralph, and by night come the Vladdies - the infected. Things are not looking well for Lance, but he's determined to keep fighting until the end. Through a series of unfortunate events, Lance and co. find themselves in a camp where things could potentially be much worse than dealing with the infected.

It's going to take all of Lance's strength, courage, and smartass comments to survive this adventure.

Jason Brant brings to us yet another brilliant novel full of gust-busting humor, nail-biting thrills, and scream-worthy horror. His blend of all three of these things make Consumed a very unique novel that's worth the read.

Throughout the book I never once got bored. I actually finished reading it within a single day, that's how enthralled I was in this world of mutant vampires. The action is well done and the story is paced perfectly, never a lull. Jason's ability to create suspense and tension is magnificent and worthy of more recognition.

A noteworthy fact is that this novel was based on a short story previously written by Jason Brant titled LOTION. It was published in Apocalypse: An Anthology by Authors and Readers and featured characters in the very same apocalypse. In Consumed Jason was able to weave the two stories together in an interesting way that you'll have to read to see for yourself.

All in all, Consumed was an amazing book that all lovers of the apocalypse genre should read! ...more

Wow. Where do I begin? This book takes off exactly where Devoured (book 1) ends. This is not really a stand alone, so I recommend that you read the first in the series before this one. Actually, the awesomeness of this book doubles when you read Jason’s short story, Lotion, that was in Cynthia Shepp’s Apocalypse Anthology. Lotion was the story that started this entire series, introduced us to this world, and to a couple of the characters. This latest installment in this series does not disappoint!

The action was intense and pretty much nonstop throughout the book. That’s not the only great thing about this story. This book is well-balanced. What I mean by this is that the characters are written beautifully and grow through the story, the action is intense, the horror is vividly real, and there is just enough humor and even the occasional “Awww” moment to keep the scary stuff from overwhelming the reader. This book has it all!

When this book starts off, Lance and Cass, Eifort and Dr. Emmett Brown (haha), are living on the Duchess, a boat, in the middle of the Allegheny River to avoid the victims of the Xavier virus. These vampire-like once humans have taken over the night and have infected or eaten the majority of the population. When their boat is destroyed, they have to move on and find another safe place to hide out from the monsters.

To make matters worse, a militia-like group of survivalists headed by a psychopath named Ralph are on a mission to wipe them out, too, thanks to Lance unwittingly angering Ralph in a restaurant in the previous book. This just adds to the horror, as the group of four can’t seem to avoid one nightmare encounter after another.

There are several moments of hilarity in this book. The banter between Lance and Cass had me laughing even through the scary moments, the Doc Brown and Back To the Future references and jokes made this geek giggle, and the daily ham radio reports from the Wild Man of Monroeville. The Wild Man seemed to know exactly what was going on in the Pittsburgh area from his seemingly impenetrable hidden location, and his descriptions of the people and events had me literally laughing out loud.

There are some serious developments in this book that I didn’t see coming, and wow… that’s all I can say about that without giving away spoilers. The end of the book had the stories coming full circle, with characters from the short story Lotion making their appearance, and the ending really threw me for a loop! I didn’t want to put this book down, and re-read several sections after I finished because I simply was not ready to be done with these wonderful characters in this frightening but realistic world!

Wakes up in the hospital. The hospital was crawling with, blood thirsty flesh eating, monsters. Managing to escape, with the help of Doctor Emmett Brown, Lance made it back to his apartment. That was an easy day, it got worse.

Consumed (Hunger Book 2)

Lance, Cass, Doc Brown, and Eifort are still on the river. The have decided to stay in the boat as long as they can. Making short trips into towns for supplies. However, the Minuteman leader, Ralph, has other ideas. He wants Lance dead so he sends a man to bomb the boat. They all survive the sinking boat but lose most of their supplies. Opting to maneuver through the flesh eating monsters, vampires and power hungry humans, they find a vehicle and decide to try for Greensburg. Lance, Cass and the others strive to survive each day – one hour at a time. You will have to find out the rest for yourself. I think this book is even better than the first one.

I really love this series. I have listened to book 1 and 2 twice. When Lance met Cass the real fun started. The banter between them is so funny. It’s the comic break needed in this type of story. She is constantly amazing him with her skills. She is a vampire slaying Zena, with a double edged ax. He loves it.

The pace is fast; the action and violence will keep you on the edge of your seat. You “need” to turn the page to find out what happens next. There are a lot of surprises in this installment. You won’t want to miss out. I hope book 3 comes out soon. Perhaps there will be answers to who/what/where the virus came from, perhaps the “vladdies” (vampires) will die out from lack of human blood and perhaps we’ll see who is behind the flying jets that grace the sky occasionally.

Wayne June is doing his superb rendition of reading again. I could listen to him for hours. Wait, I do listen to him for hours. He has that kind of voice and he really gets into his characters.
Wayne June and the production team are great together. Excellence shows.

Book 2 picks up about 1 week after Book 1 ended. Our heroes, Lance York and Cass of the War Axe, are on a boat in the Allegheny River outside of Pittsburgh. Dr. Emmett Brown and soldier Meghan Iverson are still with the duo, providing cover fire and medical treatment as needed. The world continues to devolve in to mutated monsters that roam night and day and militant, power-hungry humans. Yet, the river seems the safest….at least until they lose their boat.

If you read my review of Devoured, Book Book 2 picks up about 1 week after Book 1 ended. Our heroes, Lance York and Cass of the War Axe, are on a boat in the Allegheny River outside of Pittsburgh. Dr. Emmett Brown and soldier Meghan Iverson are still with the duo, providing cover fire and medical treatment as needed. The world continues to devolve in to mutated monsters that roam night and day and militant, power-hungry humans. Yet, the river seems the safest….at least until they lose their boat.

If you read my review of Devoured, Book 1, then you know I really enjoyed the start to this series. Book 2 does not disappoint in continuing the tale. In fact, I will say it is even better because Lance worked through a lot of his issues with his e-wife in Book 1 and we don’t have that slowing down the story line of Book 2. Our main characters are a unit, swiftly reacting to each other. Our plot is moving forward at a good clip. The scenery continues to devolve, creating more traps for our heroes. All the elements are present for a great zombie story, which this is. I enjoyed this book all in one day, coming up with additional chores to keep me in the kitchen or folding laundry, just so I would have a bit more listening time.

Cass continues to be my hero. I want to grow up to be her and do shots with her. She’s very practical in how she tackles this new world, taking axe to monsters and human threats as needed. Plus, I like the way she dresses, even if many of the side characters think it strange. I expect as the world continues to circle the toilet, we’ll see more and more folks dressing as they like instead of according to supposed societal norms.

As Lance spends more time with her, he comes to realize that he isn’t nearly as adept at dispatching foes as Cass is, and this bothers him a little bit. I loved that he was aware of his feelings of inadequacy, and how silly that was with the world as we know it ending and all, and yet he struggled with it. It created some humor and made Lance very human.

Brown and Iverson become more prominent in the story and we get some back story to each of them. Of course, the Back to the Future jokes continue with Dr. Brown’s name, but they are sprinkled throughout the tale and don’t become annoying. Also, we learn the source of the Xavier Virus name – which I won’t spoil here. It is a little joke for geeks and nerds. It made me chuckle.

All in all, this was an excellent continuation of the The Hunger series. Book 2 closed off a few smaller story arcs while opening a larger one. I am very much looking forward to Book 3!

Narration: Wayne June is a great voice for Lance, who is a pretty average guy. Wayne brings Lance to life with his emotions and his humor. I can’t imagine another narrator portraying Lance. Wayne also has a variety of voices for the ladies and other men. He does a great gruff old geezer and a crazy radio codger. ...more

First I was "Devoured" for free and then immediately purchased the next two books in the series. This story starts right up where the first story ends; Brant doesn't spend several pages retelling his earlier work to bring people up to date.

At Heinz Field, Lance reunited with Dr. Brown and SSGT, Eifort from his stay at the hospital. Together with Cass, the foursome had escaped the attack by commandeering a large boat owned by Ralph's militia group - the same one used to unleash the Vladdies upon the safe zone . They've survived the next couple of weeks floating on the river and foraging for supplies on land during the day. The undead fear the water, but the militia could swim and one member successfully scuttles the ship, forcing its occupants into the dark river fighting for their lives.

There is a "crazy" kind of guy that comes across the radio everyday at noon providing updates to the survivors around Pittsburgh. His information is helpful to their survival, but he refuses to aid any one group - stating that he is neutral like Switzerland. I also believe in the saying, "What goes around comes around" for both acts of kindness and violence. The foursome finally locate a farm up in the hills that has plenty of supplies and no signs of the undead. Life is great for a few days until Ralph's militia group finds them! Lance and Cass get away, but Doc and Aifort are taken prisoner. First priority: get them back alive!

Going forward, "Consumed" keeps readers on the edge of their seats, anxious and fearing for the safety of the main characters who seem to face insurmountably odds against both the living and the dead. There isn't a good place to stop reading - plan on starting early in the day or you'll be up way into the night.

Great job Mr. Brant! Thank you for keeping my heart beating and especially for losing so much sleep during these two books. Looking forward to starting #3, but will wait until Saturday morning! Highly recommended! One of the best zombie series I've read to date.

This is an excellent follow-up to the first book of the series. It takes all that was good about that first book, especially the main characters, and jumps right in, avoiding the rather slow opening of the previous book. I love the goofy klutz of a hero and his ass-kicking gal that steps in when he needs saving. The duo, their unique relationship, and the consistent excitement splashed liberally across the pages combine to make a truly entertaining read.
