Found this series very enjoyable - maybe a bit too close to possible reality. The main storyline is gripping, and so are the subplots. The ending made me wonder if Grace is likely to join forces with Hicks and Renko. Presuming - hoping - there will be a second series.
  
The final book in the series finds our characters living through the return of Christ to set up his millennial kingdom. It's one of the better books in the series even if it suffers from the usual shallow characters and uneven plotting.

I hate the way a lot of authors divide their book into a short page series, I can only think that it is to get as much money out of the reader as possible for a book that isn't really that good and sadly thats what I think about this. It started off really good but slowly went downhill as the series progressed

I received this book for free as part of a Chat Pack from Chatterbox™ in exchange for my honest review and I really liked this book. The Java Jive series is fun and refreshing and a quick read. I read her first book in the series, Death by Decaf, and I can't wait to read the next book later this year.

The start of a great series!!!
This is BY FAR one of my favorite book series. The authors set it up really well and give backstory and pertinent information without getting lost in flashbacks or dragging on forever. Plus I like the references to native American culture and mythology!

My absolute favourite series at the moment! Despite the dystopian setting it is scary how real the problems portrayed can seem and how possible the world feels! This is the only time I will probably ever say this but I much prefer the TV series than the book, not to say it’s a bad book, but that the show is that’s good!

A decent forth season featuring Morgan from The Walking Dead. Nice to finally have a form of a crossover between the two series. It has some interesting cool characters and interesting plot lines.
The only downside was how and why some key characters were killed off. Which makes it feel quite different to the previous series.

Good read, rather different than the tv series.

I really enjoyed this book, I read it before the Netflix series rolled out and I'm glad of it. I found the similarities good but the differences between the two were annoying, I understand why the show didn't follow completely - because of an episode time line, but I found it unrealistic.
