This one had some quite gruesome moments in it. As the series progressed so did the icky-ness. More blood, zombies, crazies, and another death of a character. It was a hard scene that I didn't expect in its vividness. I really liked the resolutions of some things as this series drew to a close. Although, the city scene and dealing with wicked humans (that's as spoilers as I go!) was very rushed and was so critical yet so glossed over compared to other parts.
When I first started this series, I was unsure about continuing but I am glad I did in the end.

I was sad to see this series come to an end but also very happy that the final novel gave closure to Orissa, Hayden and their companions.
The ending was satisfying, avoided tying everything up too neatly with a bow and still left some unanswered questions. I like that the author has left room to still be able to return and 'play' in this Universe a little further. I hope to read more from Emily Goodwin's post-apocalyptic, zombie-verse.
I now feel the urge to go back and re-read the entire series. For me this is one of the more enjoyable zombie series I've read and to be honest, along with the Frater novels, one of the earlier zombie novels written by a chick that manages to balance genuine scariness and gore on the one hand, with good characterisation and relationships on the other.

WAAAAHHHHHH! I can't believe it's over!!!
I hate you Emily Goodwin... and I mean that in the best possible way. You have managed to break me time and time again! You make me care for these characters and then you kill them off with no remorse whatsoever (I'm lying. I'm sure you probably spilled more than a tear over their deaths too). The only thing that keeps me going is the hope. Not just the hope for the characters, but also the hope that you'll write more stories. I refuse to believe that it's all over! I'm going to cling to the belief that Emily will come out with an endless supply of short stories to fill in this hole in my heart. Novellas? Sequels? Spinoffs? I'm not picky. ;)
Having said that... 5 STARS!! 5 STARS!! 5 STARS!! The entire series has been beyond outstanding! Strong characters, an unforgettable story, thrilling action. It will haunt me for years to come. The Truth is Contagious was the perfect conclusion.
Contagious Chaos left off with a giant cliffhanger. Hayden and Orissa have been left with a huge amount of responsibility, but are they ready for it? There are deaths. I don't think that's a huge spoiler to say that. If there's one thing that can be said about Emily, it's that she doesn't shirk from her duty as an author. She makes the tough choices and kills when necessary. There are also some amazing new characters too, to balance things out.
Emily Goodwin has proven that she's an author to watch out for, no matter what genre to writes in. The Contagium series has a perfect amount of romance, and just enough gore to turn your stomach. If you haven't started the book yet, now is the perfect time to start!

This was an excellent zombie apocalypse book!! I couldn't put it down. I was so tired during the day because I kept reading into the night. I love the main character so much, from her wonderful name to the kick ass, take no crap from nobody, and take charge and kill zombies attitude. She shows everyone her I don't care exterior but she is all mush good person inside. Excellent book with great characters and a great plot. I was so grateful that this was the last book because if it was another cliffhanger I don't know if I would have been able to wait for the next book. This series has definitely been one of my favorite ones. I highly recommend if you like post apocalyptic books.
