My Review:

The Risen is the first book in a new series The Risen by Hayley Anderton. The Risen is about a zombie apocalypse. Something has caused humans to rise as the undead and attack.

These zombies are fast. They act like they are running in a 5k race they are so quick. Which means if you want to live you have to be faster. These zombies are on you before you know it. They are strong too. They can even pull you out of a car if you are not strapped in.

The Risen starts a little slow as we get to know the characters. When the zombies come to life it is on as the action picks up. It only gets better from here on out as we race with the characters to safety. The descriptions are so well done that you almost feel as if you running with the characters as you are feeling what they are.

I love me some zombies and can’t ever get enough of them. The Risen is one of the best zombie books I have ever read. I can’t wait to dive into book two The Lost, especially after that ending. 
 
The Risen does end on a cliffhanger. Well, it may not be a cliffhanger so much as the beginning of the next book The Lost. Anyway, I can’t wait to see where it takes us. I can’t wait to see what awaits the characters.

I most definitely recommend grabbing a copy of The Risen today!
