Purely Paranormal
Purely Paranormal - Patti Larsen

I left a review for each these books in their appropriate titles on Amazon and GoodReads.


Now to sum up the collection.
I loved all the stories, I want to follow up on the Auberdeen and Sydlynn Hayle stories, Clone 3 is also intriguing.
Not sure about Fresco and Run I like them, but not as much as the others.
All in all a good introduction to the paranormal worlds of Patti Larsen’s books.
Would recommend to anyone who is unsure of where to start in Patti Larson's paranormal series.

The Zombie Chronicles Get 3.5 Cups of Tea!
The Zombie Chronicles - Book 2 (Apocalypse Infection Unleashed Series) - Chrissy Peebles

This is now my second Zombie book and, although I liked the story,  I don’t think I’ll be picking up another zombie book in a hurry.
It turns out that zombies just don’t tickle my literary fancy but hey, you gotta try these things right?

 

I shall review this one based on plot, readability, writing skill and characters.

The story starts with a happy couple on their first date and, within the first chapter, everything goes to hell in a hand basket.
Zombies come out the woodwork and people are forced to flee, the survivors manage to hole themselves up on a series of nice safe islands.
It's  safe for all but  a group of siblings, who crash land into zombieland with a potential cure that they were supposed to be taking for analysis on another island, and an infected girl who they can't bring themselves to kill because *spoilers*.
Trapped in zombieland they are set upon by many hoards of, you guessed it, zombies.
There are some nice subplots and a few twists and turns, which I won’t discuss until you have read it yourselves!
It was a superbly action orientated story. The cause of the outbreak isn’t known at this point, but it is a mutating virus, which means it effects everyone at different rates and spreads in multiple ways.
So storyline and readability has a big fat check next to it.

Writing- the writing style and description was pretty good.  I felt like I was there struggling through with them, I bought into their situation, the action scenes were faultless and the zombies were portrayed really well. Nasty little blighters that they are.
On to the peoples! The older brother and sister were pretty cool characters but some of the motley crew felt a bit false to me. At the beginning they were supposed to be but by the end I still hadn't bought into them as people; they didn't seem to develop believably.
There was also a irk on the romance side of things, everyone got paired off, which was odd because two of the characters had to undergo a little personality surgery to make it work.  It felt like they’d been put together because they were both good looking and therefore why not?

It's written that they came together by circumstance, but I just didn't feel it.
I would like to see how this series pans out, the end of this book ended on a cliffhanger good enough to make me want to grab the next book.

However, I don't think I'll be looking out for any other zombie books. Not because I didn't like this story, but because I find zombies dull.

 

Tea Verdict?

3.5 cups of tea, the extra half star was lost on the romance and secondary characters.
