Genre: Paranormal Horror
Emma Jackson is an army wife and new mom with all the uncertainties that come with it… until that fear is pushed in a different direction. Instead of worrying about diapers and feeding schedules, her only objective is to keep her child alive after being chased by a man who looks entirely too dead.
Trish Walsh thought her day was bad when she had to drag all four of her children on an errand, but she rethinks the meaning after what she can only hope was someone dressed up like a zombie beats on her car door. Yet, the bloody mess left behind is anything but reassuring.
Cooper Walsh’s job is top secret. When criminals break in to steal his company’s secrets, he overhears the conspiracy devised to create chaos as a cover-up. Knowing he must do everything in his power to right the wrong, he sets out on a mission.
Surviving long enough to reunite with their families is all that matters. That… and stopping the zombie apocalypse before it destroys them.
It had only been six weeks since I’d had my baby. Today’s the day for my check up and to get the doctor’s okay to do some hanky panky with my hubby when he comes home. Well it won’t matter if I have a doctor’s note or not, my husband is back overseas with his unit. He was able to come home for a week when the baby was born, but he won’t be home for good anytime soon.
As I lay there waiting for the Gyno doctor to come and check me out in this flimsy little dress, I hear a commotion out in the hallway.
Hurried whispers and quick running footsteps down the hallway make me get up and tiptoe to the door in my bare feet. Cracking the door open I look toward the reception area, but all I can see is a stack of papers floating to the floor.
“What in the world?” I glance back to make sure the baby, Pierce, is still resting comfortably.
Hearing a scream from somewhere in the front, I decide the best course of action is to get dressed and put my tennis shoes back on. Flicking the lock closed, I got dressed in record time and collected my stuff as I headed back to the door.
Cautiously opening it, I couldn’t see anyone at all so I sling the diaper bag over one shoulder and my purse on the opposite side. Placing my phone in my back pocket and my keys in my hand, I hooked my arm through Pierce’s carrier and walked out into the hallway ready for anything.
It has gotten spookily quiet. There weren’t any voices or sounds coming from the reception area that had been filled only a half hour ago.
As I proceeded out through the now empty building, I wondered what had caused the evacuation.
Opening the front doors, I’m hit with sunshine.
“Shoot, I forgot the sunglasses.” Placing the baby down at my feet, I start to dig in the diaper bag when I notice a sound at the side of the building. Glancing up, there is a man walking toward me.
Wait, walking is a broad term for the way he is dragging his feet and lumbering towards me in a very aggressive manner and that is when I notice the blood dripping from his chest.
The screams now made sense. There must have been a shooting. While I would love to help, I have a new baby to protect and this guy is creeping me out, so I grab the carrier and make a run for the car.
Punching the button to unlock and open the van’s sliding doors, I am tempted to just place the carrier inside and buckle Pierce in a few blocks away, but it’s already so ingrained, the need to secure him, so I go ahead even though it will take a few seconds longer.
Sure enough the bloody guy is following me to my car. I open my door and jump in hitting the locks and praying this guy doesn’t have a gun on him.
I place the vehicle in drive and screech out of the parking lot which I’ve never done before because it takes the tire tread off and that’s just wasteful.
As I head toward my home, I realize there is a lot of traffic out on the road and people look really panicked.
The highway is congested and I’m getting a really bad feeling about this so I decide to take the back roads to my home, which is thankfully only about ten minutes away.

My Review:
Emma Jackson is a new mom at the doctor’s office when she
first realizes something is wrong when she sees her first zombie. Emma doesn’t realize
that she is seeing a zombie all she knows is that she has to get her baby to
safety before they are attacked. Emma doesn’t realizes that she was seeing a
zombie until she gets a call from her husband who is in the army who gives her
a call and tells her to take their son and go to Nana and Pop’s in the
mountains. Nana and Pop’s place is good distance from any town or city so
therefor would be less populated and so hopefully not many zombies. Emma’s
husband knows that his family will take care of her and the baby because the
Jackson Clan take care of their own.
Trish and Cooper Walsh have been preparing for an apocalypse
for a very long time. So when her husband calls her and tells her to put their
plan in place and take the kids to her sister’s farm she doesn’t hesitate not especially
after the day she has had and what she saw while in town with her four kids.
Cooper is supposed to meet them there but he gets held up
just as he is leaving his office. Someone has broken into his office with
intentions of stealing all of his company’s secrets. Cooper must stop them from
being able to accomplish what they came there for. As far as Trish and the
world knows Cooper is an IT guy but as we learn this is not the case. No what
Cooper does is very top secret.
I love me some zombies and I loved following along with
these two mothers on their journeys with their children trying to keep them
safe and away from the zombies. Emma and Trish may think that they would never
be any good in a fight or especially up against zombies but when it comes to
you and their children you might what to get out of their way cause they gonna
mow you down. I can’t wait to read more about Emma and Trish and all their
children. I would also like to know more about the Jackson Clan and about Trish’s
sister too and what about Cooper and his job?
Moms Against Zombies is a great story for anyone who loves a
good zombie story.
A B.S. in History and English gave wings to her vivid imagination in book form. A supportive and loving husband has given her the chance to make her dreams a reality. Their three daughters and three dogs keep her busy while writing is a great way for her to wind down and destress.
