I read the first 3 books in this series quite a while ago and immediately wanted to read this one, the final book, but couldn't find it anywhere! Eventually, I stopped actively looking and it wasn't until I was trying to finish out some series this summer that I came back to it. My library had a copy so I decided to go ahead and finish this one out.
This book is set in the same timeline as Feed but follows a different blog team that is following the Democratic candidate for president. It took me a while to get a feel for these characters since they were all new but eventually, I got there and really enjoyed them. I enjoyed this one and am sad to leave the Newsflesh world behind!

Feedback by Mira Grant is refreshing. It’s zombies, politics, blogging, lesbians, a platonic marriage, the first genderqueer character I’ve ever read, death, and conspiracies. It’s an Irish girl in a sundress with a winsome smile as she shoots a zombie raccoon.
If that doesn’t make you want to read it, I don’t know what could. It mentions some main plot events from Feed, but, to be fair, Blackout mentions a pretty big event in this book. If you intend to read the whole series, I recommend starting with the original trilogy (Feed, Deadline, Blackout) before coming here, but if you are reading either one book or nothing, make damn sure you read this one.
