So I just finished Zom-B Clans by Darren Shah.
Rating: 4.2/5 🌟
This is the 8th book in the Zom-B series. So if you guys haven't read the first 7 books then stop reading this coz It might spoil those books for you.
The story starts where the 7th book ended, when New Kirkham was attacked by Ku Klux Klan and was torturing anyone who wasn't british or white. But the angels were there to help the poor human being.
Then Brian gets traped while trying to rescue the human from the Ku Klux Klan.

I really feel like Darren Shan just decided to up the ante....but adding in the KKK. Not a huge fan of the direction this book is turning.

This was a great read. The story had a great amount of action. Although, I do have to say that 75% of the book was dragged out. B is still my favourite character because of her badass ways. I really wish that someone would make DanDan suffer. I do not like him. I did like Rage for a bit, but then he did something stupid and made me dislike him. The ending was really great. I really need to read book 9 after that ending. I can't wait to see where it takes me. Overall, an intriguing read.

Great edition to the story. I wasn't sure how I was going to like the "clans" being brought into it but in many ways it makes perfect sense . And the ending...one word to change everything. And now I have to wait until October to know what happens next :(

This one was stuffed with action and emotion. And of course.....dun dun dun...the cliffhanger!
This was the peak of Shan's formulaic plot lines. He starts slow, bringing the story and the theme to the forefront and then ends the books with a cliffhanger. This actually works for the series, however, because each of these books are novellette size, so you never get to the point where you cant go on. In the midst of this Shan gives you a (direct) moral, and he has more going on in this series than in any of the other series he has.

This latest book in the Zom-B series manages to be both self-contained and a part of the overall story at the same time. It continues where the last book left off and sees B capture child-killer Dan-Dan as her prisoner, but forced to keep him alive to negotiate the return of her friend Vinyl.
This is not the most action-packed volume of the series so far but I didn't feel that was unnecessary at all. There's a strong, violent start to tie off the cliffhanger but then the book is full of tension. ...more

"We do what we think is right. After that, we can only pray that we choose the correct path, and hope our maker will forgive us if we err."
WOW. Finally. finally some huge huge answers are delivered. We finally get some clarity on moments that seemed so confusing.
We also get some kick butt zombie moments, some interesting fighting....

I didn't expect it after reading book 1 (I couldn't stand B and almost didn't try book 2), but this series gets better with every book. I can't wait to see what happens next and I zipped right through the series to date and now have to wait for the next one! The surprise ending didn't surprise me though. I have been convinced since finishing book 1, that we'd be seeing that person again. I've just been biding my time, wondering how long Shan would make us wait.

B Has a habit of thinking she knows best and acting on it.
She is not always right....
In this volume of the Zom-B series we finally get a lot of background on Owl Man and Mr. Dowling and why the Angels are working to bring them down as well as their relationship to certain events and other characters. The series is building up to what will probably be an explosive conclusion soon...

THAT ENDING ARGH!!!!!
This was a good one! That ending! arghhhh! Well played Shan.....
The author of the book is Darren Shan and the title of the book is ZOM-B. The book is also fiction. The genres of the book are adventure,tale,and fantasy. I chose to read the book because it was recommended to me by my brother who already read it.
The book is mostly about violence and deaths and killing and blood and so on. The book is a horror book which is about a kind of zombies which eat the organs of the people they kill without even thinking about it. The story's setting is mainly in a cit ...more

The "Clans" was a great read for me. The story was stuffed with action and emotions. It took a while to apprehend about the goal of the book. For me B was a person that always make her self think that her way is always the best, but in fact it's not always the right way. B lives with her racist father, Todd Smith, and her mother, Daisy Smith. I hate it when Todd beats B and her mother, it makes me feel like Todd is someone else and not part of the family by the way he acts. Like when B rescued a

so the book went more in depth to the whole racist part of it. and to tell the truth i liked that. with the first book of this series, i thought it was amazing and then in book 2 it dropped all of that and it became a different kind of story. now in the series they have came back to that aspect of the story and shown that in an apocalyptic world human beings can still be assholes. i also love that becky has finally come over her fear of being like her dad and is protecting the right people being

Ideally I think this series should be binge read rather than super spread out like I've had to do, since I don't own all of the books and neither does my local library...
Also, unlike the Darren Shan saga, there isn't omnibus editions and the collections of 2 books in 1 aren't available for the later books in the series yet.

Action. Zombies. KKK. Interesting mix. I knew the handover of Dan-Dan wasn't going to be as easy as they said it was going to be. But I wasn't expecting that cliffhanger at the end. I'm still not entirely sure why racism had to be so prominent throughout the series especially with the introduction of the KKK. Best maybe that is the reason why Shan included them. To make people uncomfortable and make you feel how B feels when she finds out her father has joined them. On to Zom-B family and to see

Quick Pointers:
*When I give a rating I try to keep them as regarding the genre of the book. For example if I review a horror novel it would be in regards to other horror themed works I’ve read, NOT every single book I laid my mitts on. I mean, imagine comparing “A Day in the Life of Marlon Bundo” with “The Picture of Dorian Gray”…. HOW??!!! Either way, have fun and be good to one another.
*All out of 10
Plot: 9/10

This book was a fast-paced read, really liked it although now I start noticing how childish some scenes are. For example: in a battle they take like 5 minutes time to have a conversation while they should be killing people. Other than that: amazing book! Some more background story is being revealed, epic battle descriptions and a great cliff hanger! Will have to buy the next book soon because I am still hungry for more
This was my favourite book in the series so far, I'm glad this one came along after several average installments. There was plenty of action, lots of emotion and none of the characters were annoying. It only loses a star for the major plot twists being pretty obvious early on (view spoiler). We also got a lot of welcome backstory on Mr. Dowling, Owl Man and Dr. Oystein, it was nice finally getting information about their past and motives.

This book questions a persons loyalty to family and friends. Do you stay loyal to someone even if you don't agree with the choices they are making? B is faced to choose sides quickly as everything in her life starts to change. She has to figure out who to let back into her life, and who needs to be taken out. It's a moral dilemma that is difficult to solve, even if you are a zombie.
