My Rating: 4 of 5 Stars
The zombie apocalypse, which has devastated the world, is in its final throes when Meg's husband is bitten. She has lost so much already that she simply can't face losing him too, so when it becomes apparent that he is about to join the ranks of the walking dead, she decides to employ her skills as a dog trainer and takes it upon herself to train him.
Not only must she face the dangers inherent in close contact with a zombie, she must also protect him from outside forces that mean him harm. Can she convince the handsome yet stern Colonel MacDonald that he deserves a chance? Can she stop him being used for vivisection? What about those who want to use him as bait for other zombies?
Join Meg during the final few months of the Zombie War, as she shares her, at times, gruesome, sad and darkly humorous story.
My Review
As the blurb suggests, this is a darkly humorous story. Told through Meg's eyes, she fills the reader in fairly quickly so you understand what kind of world Meg and her husband, Jim, are living in which helps explain the desperate lengths Meg goes through to keep Jim with her after he turns. It's a disturbing twist of events, but the catalyst propels the story onward which leads Meg to Don, or rather Don to Meg, and soon she and Jim find themselves on a military base where a group of scientists want to experiment with Meg's amazing zombie break through.
Although it could use a bit of editing, I still found it to be entertaining, fast-paced and emotionally satisfying. I was quickly pulled into Meg's story and felt compelled to discover what happened next to her, Jim and Don. I also like the way the author described the zombies and Meg's ability to train them. It was a unique take on a favorite supernatural creature. Ms. Winchester spins an interesting tale of survivors of a zombie apocalypse.
