annikin 's review for:

The Reapers are the Angels by Alden Bell
3.0
The book cover put me off but in the end I enjoyed this way more than I supposed I would. It was very decent for a zombie novel at least. Temple, the main character, was like a mix of Katniss from the Hunger Games and Daryl Dixon from the Walking Dead, so of course I liked her a lot. The male characters, Lee, James and Uncle Jackson were all quite similar to each other. I liked the bad guy, Moses, but there could have been fewer moments where they sit down and have a talk about life because those didn't make him feel threatening at all. Maybe he wasn't supposed to.
SpoilerI also wish that the mutants had been left out of the story. They didn't make much sense.
