Rot & Ruin by Jonathan Maberry
4.0

A wonderful, fast-paced zombie apocalypse tale. Strong male and female characters, though it's main characters are two brothers. Easy to read with a plot that takes off running. Nothing earth-shattering in the zombie genre but executed really well. In fact, its basic premise is similar to "The Forest of Hands and Teeth," with less religiosity. I think Rot & Ruin will have widespread appeal, much like The Hunger Games. It gets pretty violent by the end, with a smattering of strong language and making out.The start of a new series and I can hardly wait for book two!
