nerdyher 's review for:

Rot & Ruin by Jonathan Maberry
3.0

Zombies. I could barely get through “Pride & Prejudice + Zombies”, and I can’t even stand a Walking Dead commercial. Zombies are my least favorite sci-fi/supernatural/whatever creature. But this book... they’re still my least favorite but now to a lesser extent.
This book started off a little slow, but once the plot got going I really enjoyed it. The portrayal of the un-dead is actually really good, the characters are well written— although the romance felt a little forced... I was in full favor of it at the end, though. Also, the plot twist at the end had me surprised?? Like, yeah, it was obvious in hind-sight, but gosh... I don’t usually curse but i was mumbling “ohhh shit” in excitement over and over again...

Also, can I get a round of applause for the badass characters?? Young AND old, male AND female??
