A whole new twist on the zombie apocalypse subgenre. Smith only hints at the origin of apocalypse for now, but the mystery draws you deeper.
This is, I think, the central question Smith is asking: How would mankind survive an apocalypse? Well, how did it survive the last major world-killer, the Bubonic Plague? What system held the tatters of civilization together, and would it work again?

Zombie books are usually my thing, but this was a great new twist on the zombie apocalypse story.

worthy read
The title and illustrations on the page looks pretty scary. The novel is well written will not keep it down.

Louisiana + zombies! What's not to like?

I’m being generous...
The story is okay if a little reliant on The Walking Dead, and, as a Cajun, I can say that the author knows something about Louisiana. The biggest issue with the book is the spectacular lack of editing both for typos and spell AND content. And please, maybe on one or two pop culture references per chapter?

One star for attempting to write. More spelling errors than a fifth graders exam paper. Should have been titled "Tucker and Dale vs zombies". Horrible premise, no world building, group of crazy religious zealots that you never meet & civilization wiped out but some backwoods goobers save the day and have normal wives.
Apparently anyone can write for kindle.

Great Zombie tale
I like how the author combined Christianity and the undead in the story. This was a real page turner that had me glued. The characters, theme, setting and plot were magnificent. Great tale.

Great new twist on the zombie apocalypse. New zombie origin. New types of characters, not yet explored in ZA books. New landscape and survival methods.

A good book to read
The book has a good plot and characters. I really enjoyed how the chat were portrayed. I did expect there to be more deaths in a book involving zombies.
