Nothing is simple anymore in the new undead world. Crossing a road, making tea, meeting new people, all can turn deadly in a twitch of an eye.
For the Renegades who are unarmed and hounded over half the state by ruthless bounty hunters, there’s only one thing that they can say is simple: dying. Surrounded by enemies and without help from the imprisoned Captain Grey, they f ...more

JILLY-EFFIN-BEAN........this ain't genre fiction.
Peter Meredith has managed to create a character and a world as interesting as any worldbuilder working today. Jellybean transcends the character development that is found in the works of the overwhelming majority of genre fiction writers. Believe me, I have devoured the zombie-based catalog that is out there. There are many outstanding authors working in the field, but there is NOTHING like Jilly. I haven't felt this kind of "need" for a characte ...more

Ok - first off, I'm really bad at reviews. If I was GOOD at them, I'd do it all the time, right? That being said - since this is #5, it's apparent that I've read the others.
DUDE.
These books. I mean - the characters. You love them, and you hate them, and you love hating them. Then there are the ones that will *always* stick with you. Like Jilly Bean. Jilly Bean - I can't say too much, I don't want to give anything away. But man, I want to wrap her up in bubble wrap - and let her plan ALL my wars. ...more

Brilliant Zombie Series
Never really read any zombie genre books until read World War Z, came across this series and Peter Meredith has hooked me. Love the stories, characters and the way certain characters have developed and sadly how some favourite ones have been killed off. Definitely recommend the series on e-book or audio book.

Enchanting
I don't know if 'enchanting' is the correct phrase, but I couldn't put it down. This series is amazing and I am hooked! I absolutely love these books and the author writes the characters so well, you can't help but love them (or hate them.) Excellent!! ...more

Worth reading for Jillybean
Still fighting the River King but Meredith manages to keep it interesting.
Jillybean's story is the best part of the book and I'm hungry to find out what happens to her.
Bit of character development for Neil and Sadie. I'd like to see Neil grow more.
The zombies are no longer terrifying. The characters can walk amongst them now. The action is great but without Jillybean there'd be nothing special in the story.
Will read the next installment to see what she gets up to nex ...more

Awesome read
This is an outstanding read. The characters are well rounded and some are very likable...almost loveable even. Others you will find not so. If you haven't started reading this series yet, you should start with book one or you will be lost. It's a great read and I can't put the series down! ...more

Hail to the king
Meredith brings another chapter to close in the undead world saga. This writer manages to keep you on the edge as these characters survive the harsh new world only by the skin of their teeth. A must read series for any zombie apocalypse book lover.

Ummmmmmm, not sure what to say! JillyBean and Ipes! I don't think I was ready for that one Peter, and I have to admit I am not sure that I am happy with it either. So, don't get me wrong, I am LOVING this series and finding it hard to put down or go back to any of the other books I am reading. it's just, JillyBean!!!!!!!

I'm really loving
I ABSOLUTELY loved everything about this book and its predecessors. Looking forward to the next one. Peter Meredith should really consider turning his books into movies. I'd see EVERY ONE OF THEM!!! One of the best authors in the universe. ...more

Jillybean continues to amaze!
Terrific storyline, amazing characters, and, of course Jilliebean and Ipes! Great read. I love it. It's Jilliebean to the rescue again and again. I can't wait to see what she'll do next. ...more

Poor Jillybean! I almost don't want to keep reading. That poor little girl. I need to keep following her story.

Another good read. This series can be mind blowing at times, and at other times it pisses me off. Plus, it is starting to become too repetitive. I mean, how UNLUCKY and LUCKY can someone be? It seems that they just keep finding a way to get themselves in trouble, and than, they all rely on Jillybean, who is only 7 years old, to get them out of trouble. (In essence, using her!).

I hope this isn't the end.....
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. The anticipation I experienced waiting for this book release was well worth it. In this book we get to see the emotional breakdown of our beloved characters we have come to love. Jillybean has the biggest fight of them all and it's an internal battle that she cannot win. The battle for survival is bigger than ever and even though the group sometimes feels that all hope is lost somehow they persevere. The ending really left me ...more

Weakest in the series but I do love these characters
I've enjoyed this series a lot but the last portion of the book jumped the shark for me. A truly strange ending to a series I feel very invested in, up to this point. My curiosity about the characters I've come to love is enough to pick up the next book in the series, but there's some explaining that needs to be done and quickly. ...more

Not sure where this is going.
I was pretty captivated with this book and finished it quickly but am not sure I will be able to make it through the next part of the series. It seems like the author was planning to end the series but then changed his mind. I plan to give the next part a try but I feel if something doesn't change then the plot will have gotten too thin with too much repetition to be worth continuing. ...more

Just not as good as the rest. Whole book just got kind of nuts and not liking where the character development is going..at all. Oh, and I thought getting bit was a death sentence....guess not (trying not to give any spoilers here) Also, book just got to wordy at the least appropriate times. I'm being generous with 3 stars.

Wow!
I've been waiting for this book. It did not disappoint. The 2 main characters had darker elements of their personalities appear in this book. I felt the changes were unexpected but,very intriguing...can't wait for more. ...more
