Review
The Zombie Game was not what I was expecting. It was a pleasant surprise and an enjoyable
read. The name is what got me since
zombies appear to be everywhere, this was not what I was expecting, you had
terrorism, voodoo, romance, and excitement all rolled into one quick read. The pages just seemed to turn themselves it
read so fast. The pacing of the book was
quite good it ramped up nicely, however the ending felt a little abrupt but,
not disappointing. This is the second
novel in the series and I will be checking out the first and all future
installments.

action-hero. The first volume of the series was The Missile Game, followed shortly afterward by The Zombie Game. Born on a farm in
eastern Virginia,
