I won a copy of this book from a Goodreads giveaway.
I'm officially a Peter Clines fan. I know this isn't the first time someone has examined the possibility of superheroes fighting zombies, but this still felt fresh and original to me. The heroes are still human, and are certainly fallible. Some have even fallen prey to the zombies and/or have been turned. So even though our heroes are acting as heroically as possible, I can relate to them. One thing that helps us relate to the heroes are regular flashbacks to either the time before the "Zombocalypse" or the early stages. I felt that these flashbacks were timed pretty well and they didn't really feel as though they were interrupting the "now" narrative. I'm guessing this is harder to achieve than it sounds.
In total, this was a very engaging story and I found myself actually thinking about the characters, rather than just "watching" them act. Caring about the people in a story is a good sign to me. I'm excited to continue on with this series and will keep Peter Clines on my "to read" shelf going forward.
