Blurb:

Moss was not prepared for The Event. No one really was. When the Zombie Apocalypse came crashing down, there was no time for thinking, only surviving.

My Review:

Moss a teenage boy turned zombie killer wakes up on the first day of the zombie apocalypse to a wired noise. Something or someone was banging on his door well it wasn't exactly a banging noise it was more like a "smack……smack……smack" kind of noise. Something was telling Moss not to open the door but that day he wasn't paying any attention to the little voice or the vibes he was getting. So needless to say what does he do? He opens the door of course. After all he is human and it is human nature to satisfy the cat. What does he find on the other side of the door? Oh it is just his mom turned zombie come to feed and Moss is the next thing on her menu. Ole' Moss turns around and high tails it out of there. The only problem with his escape is the fact that he jumped out of the window and when he hit the ground he blacked out. When he woke up he saw that he was surrounded by strangers and that they had saved him from his zombie mom.

Moss now had some new friends who would help him stay alive in the world that they were living in now, a world that has gone to h3ll and back in a hand basket. His new friends were Andrews, (their leader of sorts) Ellis and Jones. One day Andrews spotted a herd of zombies that were probably around a couple of hours away and Moss being more than just a zombie killer was also a scout and so was the one sent to check the herd. Jones the navigation guy or the one with map and compass told Moss where to go.

He was sent to a suburbia area to check out all of the houses and secure them but when he got there he noticed that all the doors on the houses were standing opened. He thought this was kind of weird but didn't dwell on the matter. After checking a few of the houses he found that someone had been there before him and they were not zombies. Moss was very disturbed by the conditions he found the houses to be in.

He tried to radio the rest of his group to let them know what was going on and that he had checked most of the houses. But all he got from his radio was static. He was worried about his buddies but there wasn't anything he could do about it at the moment. He hoped that all of his buddies were ok and maybe just in a predicament at the time where they couldn't answer him back at the moment.

Zombie Apocalypse was a very good read that kept me on the edge of my seat wondering what Moss was going to do next. Zombie Apocalypse may be a short story but it read like a novella and gave you in depth knowledge of what was going on at the time but I would like to have known more about the virus that started it all. I loved the twist at the end but I would really like to know more about what was going on there. But it was a very good ending that left you wanting more which is what a good book should do. I can't wait to get my hands on the rest of the books in this series. If you love zombies as much as I do then you will love Zombie Apocalypse. My guess is that you have not read anything like this one in a long time if ever. Pick up your copy today.
