DNF at 64%.

It seems I lost interest in the story once our main characters finally got together. Waiting to see how much of the story was going to be taken up by the 'will they, won't they' storyline kept me intrigued but I can't say I was invested enough to carry on once they were.

The style was a little crazy, as were the characters at times, and I found it a little hard to get into. I didn't gel with it. Some bits were fun, others completely whacky.

P.S. I loved the sound of The White Rabbit and Safira.

4.5 stars.

It would have been 5 if not for that proper cliffhanger ending.

It was all sweetness and light and rainbows and butterfies for me throughout, though it drove me mad a few times with how oblivious they both were to each others feelings, but that end bit! So dark and cliffhanger-y. I even had to carry on into the sneak peek for the next book just to try and get some answers but nope, cut off before we find out if everyone is okay. Bloody hell!

Now i really need to read book 2 to see what happens next.

This really didn't grasp me and I couldn't bring myself to carry on reading. I feel like the concept could have been good but I just couldn't get into the story. I don't know if it was the way it was written or the storytelling flow, I feel bad but I just couldn't.
It's taken me a long time to get here, before I would just power through a book regardless, I'm glad that I've reached a place where I can now say "this isn't doing it for me, and there's so much more out there to read"

Great premise for a zombie series, the usual man-made virus trope dusted off again, but this time thee action happens quite some time after the breakout and society is fairly stable and safe now. Or at least it would be if those ruddy journalists (the protagonists) didn't go poking sticks where they shouldn't.
This is something of a zombie version of Hunter S Thompson's campaign trail with the hired journalists documenting a presidential candidate's campaign trail, with various implausible (staged) accidents.
The action rolls along well, the characters are a little irritating and some of the dialogue really got on my nerves.
Overall an enjoyable read with something of a message to it, and I did carry on with the series.
