The Infection by Craig DiLouie
5.0
Springtime is a time of renewal, rebirth, and if you believe in such things resurrection. To honor the OG Resurrector and Resurrectie, My man JC, I have sent a personal challenge to read only zombie fiction in April. I have called the challenge They-Have-Risen. Sometime my sacraligion knows no bounds!
I think I have a book crush on Craig DiLouie. It is still early in the relationship, but I definitely feel a spark of something.
Invasion is the second book I have read by this author. Although I did not add them to Goodreads, I purchased this series in July 2022, so I will be counting as TBR even though it will not lower my Goodreads TBR number.
This is unique take on the zombie genre, and Mr. DiLouie seems to really love viral outbreaks, because that was the progenitor of all the shenanigans in the first book of his I read, [b:Suffer the Children|18211208|Suffer the Children|Craig DiLouie|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1393776958l/18211208._SX50_.jpg|25632609].
Mr. DiLouie is a Professional Technical writer, and as such, he has also written several non-fiction books about lighting and electrical design. Knowing that background, one could easily expect his writing to be, well technical. But instead, I found Invasion to be surprisingly character driven. I love that the characters were thrown together and survived because they were lucky and had a certain will. All "The Survivors" as DiLouie collectively calls them, are very human and have human limits, and foibles.
There are three books in this series and I am going to read all three of them this month. They will fit nicely into my personal challenge for this month. I'm going to be Zombie Love Bombed by Craig DiLouie in April!
