Blurb-

Sasha is woken up in the middle of the night by the screams of a little girl she doesn't know, and suddenly finds herself trying to protect the child against the end of the world.

Derek's vacation hadn't even started when his dog saves him from something he could have never imagined. Using what little resources he has, he struggles to stay alive in an unfamiliar town teeming with unspeakable horrors.

Sanjeev unknowingly helps to create the epidemic that threatens to annihilate the population, but his options have run out and he is forced to choose between his humanity or his scientific endeavors.

Strangers meet under apocalyptic circumstances, and have to rely on each other for survival. What begins as an unsteady, uncomfortable partnership to stay alive turns into a make-shift family who will do anything to save each other from the threat of the Loki Variation.

I received a free copy of the book from the author for my honest opinion.

A young woman, Sasha is woken in the middle of the night to the sound of someone yelling. When she looks out the window she sees a little girl trying to climb the fence to get away from a woman that is trying to hurt her. Sasha being the person she is doesn't give any thought to herself she just runs right out there to save the little girl. Sasha is very brave and bold person that doesn't think about what could happen to her when she sees someone in trouble and needs her help. She doesn't think she just reacts.

After Sasha saves the little girl, Nora from the crazy woman she has no idea what is going on. But she soon finds out that there is no one left alive that everyone the she runs into have turned into monsters and they are no longer human or alive they are dead. They find out that the people that are left think that she and Nora are food. For someone who has never had any children of their own Sasha is very good with Nora and knows how to calm her down so she won't be so afraid of what is going on in the world.

Sasha takes Nora and leaves the town she lives in to try and find help. They need to find a safe place away from all of the disease ridden people. On their journey they run into Derek and his dog Riley. A few minutes after Sasha meets Derek together they meet another guy whom they call Hud. They all team up together to try and stay safe from the zombies. You know as they say there is safety in numbers. You need someone to watch your back.

I wasn't too fund of Hud in the beginning for some reason I didn't really trust him. He acted like Sasha, Derek and Nora was more in his way. I got the feeling that he didn't actually want them around. He thought he would be better off by himself that he didn't need any help from anybody. I felt as if Hud was out for number one and if one of the zombies got to close for comfort that he would have shoved either one of them including the little girl Nora between him and a zombie.

Now Derek was the kind of person who would have put himself between a zombie and Sasha or Nora or anyone else if push came to push as they say. I think Derek and Sasha sort of liked each other right from the beginning. They felt that magical little spark when they looked into each other's eyes but they didn't think that it was a good time to be courting so therefore they didn't let the other one know or see how they felt. They kept it locked up inside of them not knowing how the other felt.

I loved the twist that Sabrina James Riley put on the zombies. I loved that they were way different than any other zombies that I have read about. The characters are all great too and the world that she has created is fantastic as well. I can't wait to read the next book in The Loki Variation series or at least I really hope that there will be another book. I ravished The Loki Variation once I picked it up I didn't won't to put it down. Zombies are one of my most favorite genres to read or watch ever. I don't think I will ever get tired of zombies.

I've been writing stories for as long as I can remember; I still have a few stories I wrote in crayon on construction paper that I had stapled together to make a book that my mother saved for me.

Luckily, I've come a long way from crayons and construction paper, and have been able to type up stories almost as fast as my mind can create them.

I'm also an insanely avid reader, and along with all the award winning literature and classics on my shelf, I also have a penchant for the stories of other Indie authors...some of my all-time favorite books were self-published, and I believe that the ability to self-publish is one of the best things to happen to the world.

Can you imagine all the great stories we'd probably not have access to?

I live in Florida with my family, which includes but is not limited to: a pre-teen girl, a feisty just-on-the-brink-of-walking baby, and a 14 year old cattle dog who still thinks she is a puppy.

I'm always excited to hear from readers or other authors
