This series is completely ADDICTING. I'm not a huge fan of zombies, but this is a zombie story without too many zombies (might bother some people, but perfect for me). I loved the high level of detail given to life 20 years after the zombie apocalypse and minimal attention paid to descriptions of ro...

I think I had a strange relationship with this series because I listened to it on audible, so the characters seemed more real. It's one of those things that's hard to put my finger on -- possibly I grew to like the trilogy because I spent so much time with these flawed, potty-mouthed people. I don't...

I don't know what the hell to think of that damn ending. The book as a whole was satisfying, much better than the second, but that ending was weird. I'll have to think on it...

What the hell happened?Feed, the first book in this trilogy, was good. Not great, but good. By the standards of zombie novels, it was stellar. (Either the genre mostly attracts lousy writers or I've just been terribly unlucky, as most of the zombie novels I've read are downright wretched.) The secon...

Definitely one of my favourite series read this year. I feel the need to own the physical versions of the books at some stage :)It was kind of weird to be reading this one after having listened to the two previous books as audiobooks - I kept hearing things with the narrators' voices. But guess that...

Seanan McGuire (aka Mira Grant) is an evil, evil woman. She lures you in with awesome—post-zombie apocalyptic fiction about bloggers? THAT IS FANTASTIC, I NEED TO READ THIS RIGHT NOW—and the next thing you know, you’re hunched over the book, sobbing because she’s just sucker-hit you with a sledgeham...

Let me begin by saying that Mira Grant is an excellent storyteller. The skill with which she builds tension is that of a master craftsman. This woman had my nerves so finely tuned I was (absolutely literally) on the edge of my seat and coiled to spring, whimpering with my knuckles crammed in my mout...

I've loved this trilogy and read the final book with a great deal of satisfaction. Conspiracies, journalist heroes, great dialogue, and best of all,zombies--all combine into one intelligent package that keeps you turning pages long past bedtime. I'm not much on zombie books usually, but the level of...

Someday I will get through a Mira Grant book (or possibly a Newsflesh book; my experience of the the two groups has had 100% overlap until now) without getting weepy. That day, kinda unsurprisingly, is not today.I dragged my feet on reading this book for a long time (a tendency I have noticed in my...
