I picked this book up for obvious reasons: zombie stories are good. And as I read the first chapter, I was impressed by the writing and was excited to see where this story was going. Unfortunately, it wasn't going much of anywhere.
The author is definitely good at what he does. Each chapter was detailed and written well. The problem was, the plot was way confusing and too spaced out. Each chapter read like its own short story, which I hated. I have read other reviews saying the author was in fact a short story writer before giving a shot at a novel.
I think the story has a lot of potential, it just wasn't executed correctly. I got annoyed half way through and gave up.

This was a disappointing novel. The premise is unique with Death coming to Earth to fight against the undead. However, that's not necessarily what happened. 90% of the book follows a group of human survivors, none of whom I cared about since not a lot of background was given to them. With Death finally does make more than a 2-page appearance, he's not really Death anymore.
If this were more than a two-book series, I would quit right now, but since there is only one more novel, I will finish it. My recommendation for others is to avoid it.

Plenty of action, horror, and suspense and good writing to boot. From the description, I figured the spectre of "Death" would play more of a role against the undead, but he plays more of a minor role. This ended up working very well. Recommended to fans of the genre!
