I wanted this book to blow me away. While it was action-packed, I think the author tied up the loose ends too nicely. I found it anti-climactic. But overall as a middle grade trilogy, good job!

The ending was a little cheesy, but Ponti did a great job closing out the trilogy. I read the whole book in an evening. I had to know how it ended, and I am pleased with the results. Great story, great series!!

Dead City 3 was a marvelous book. The trilogy is already amazing, but this book wraps it up in such an unexpected way. When you read this book, you feel for the characters. James Pointi! You are an AMAZING author. Great job. 10000000000/10!

Warning... Spoilers for Dead City and Blue Moon in this review.....
Like the first 2, the reader is presented with a mystery for our heroes to solve that builds off the previous stories. Bottom line, what is Marek up to? We learned in Book 2 that he wasn’t dead and that he is swapping damaged parts of himself with parts from other zombies (Eww!!!

The buildup to that quick, neat ending fell pretty flat for me.

I'd read the first two books of this series ages ago and hadn't gotten to the final one. A student was reading through them and she loved them, so she insisted I read this. I plowed through it in just a few days because it was, as are the others in the series, "unputdownable." It's well written and thoroughly entertaining.
Though the ending doesn't mean a final solution to the zombie problem, it does mean that Molly, her family and friends are now free from constant threat, and can go on with their lives (or their un-lives, as the case may be).
I would love to hear how Ponti came up with the fascinating idea that something in Manhattan schist makes zombies possible, and that staying near it is necessary for them to stay "alive" and to "recharge." Wish I could come up with ideas like that!
