I meant to read a romance on Valentine's Day, but once I picked this up, I couldn't put it down. This works fairly well as a jump on point for the series if you don't want to go back and read the first two books in the series. I think the action flowed better, and we finally get to find out what happened to Angie's family. Some of it is devastating, because the real monsters in zombie fiction are usually the surviving humans.

Once again, the fighting is fierce, the zombies are relentless, and the bad humans are BAD HUMANS! Lots of new characters to wish death upon, as well as a few to cheer for their survival. I think that's why I enjoy the series so much; I get so caught up in the characters and their struggles (both good and bad) to survive, and the tension is so great that it's hard to disengage from the story. I save these for the weekend, so I don't have to go anywhere and can just sit like a lump and read them to the end.

There's a scary new type of zombie, and I can hardly wait for Sept, when Crossbones hits store shelves to find out more about them. If you are a chicken sh!t like me, read this on an ereader at night, turn off the lights, and prepare to be FREAKED out! Fun, fun read.
