First 30% 1 Stars. It was awful. Last 70% 3.5 Stars. Gripping and interesting but nothing special. Too many subplots. Too many variables. Too little rationale and explanation. Disappointed. And I do not really understand the choices our characters made. Or who's aligned with who and what were they d...
After the events in Ashes, Alex is on the run from Rule. She wants to look for Tom, but she's soon captured by a group of Changed - teenagers turned into flesh-eating zombies - led by Wolf. Surprisingly, the Changed don't eat Alex alive, although they'd very much like to. She seems to come to an und...
I was really expecting this book to be great because the first was amazing! Ashes had great tension, great pacing, gore that didn't push things too far, and characters I really enjoyed. Shadows lacks these things for me. I think part of what killed the pacing and tension for me is that Bick deci...
2.5 stars. As I'd hoped, this series got back on track in delivering more action and zombie survival goodness, meanwhile dialing back on the romantic melodrama. If only there hadn't been such a lack of cogent progression to the story. It hasn't been that long since I read the first book, but I still...

SHADOWS is going the same way...I think there may be a larger group of 'meh' sayers though. Not me. Not at all. I loved every single g...
After reading Ashes and loving it, I was immensely glad to have a copy of its sequel handy. I started reading it immediately, which saved me a lot of torment, as Ashes ends on one of the most thrilling cliff-hangers ever. Shadows left me breathless (and ends, again, with a cliffhanger that has me de...
Full review to be posted soon.This is three and half stars for me although I may need to think more about the grade. While I really enjoyed the first book Ashes, I was pretty frustrated with the main plot in this one which really suffers from middle book syndrome. The introduction of new characters ...
I was hoping this book would somehow get back to the first, good part of the first book in the trilogy, Ashes, but I’m not seeing that happening. Instead of focusing on Alex’s continued survival after the Zap and among the Changed, I’m now expected to care about a host of characters I couldn’t stand...
