A Total Thrill Ride

I enjoyed this story from the opening paragraphs until the end. There hasn't been a story written by this author that I don't devour from the beginning until the end, and this story did not disappoint me. My attention was so captivated that I listened to the audiobook in one sitting. This author has written such realistic characters that I experienced their highs and their lows as the story unfolded. I am looking forward to the next book in this series. I was given a copy of the audiobook. I enjoyed Kim Bretton's narration as her performance was entertaining and her performance enhanced the story's entertainment. I volunteered, without financial gain, to post this review which reflected my honest opinions regarding this audiobook.

Action Packed

I always enjoy Christopher's books, even when they aren't a genre that I don't usually listen to. This one is one genre that I do. I have been with this story line from the beginning... both of them and have enjoyed every book.

This one was action packed and over way too soon. I just don't know how I feel about this new romance that is brewing. I guess we shall see. I am excited about what's to come either way.

Kim, as always, was excellent.

Never fails

Always exciting to pick back up with Mike and the crew, and once again, this doesn’t disappoint.

There are bigger threats, excellent character development, and some stellar action-packed scenes—Chris never fails to keep you drawn in.

Kim always seems to outdo herself with every audiobook.

One of my favorite series for a reason—when a new audiobook drops, it immediately jumps to the top of my list.

5 stars!

Still the best

If you are looking for the best zombie series, best writer, best characters and best narrator, look no further.
This series has it all. Smart fast mouthed comments, action, heart, humor and all the things you’d want in a series. There are even some love stories developing.
If you want to feel part of a family that’s makes fun of each other but loves deeply you’ll find that here.
This is truly my favorite series of all time. Artinian writes the smartest and funniest characters you’ll ever come across. Kim Bretton voices them in a way no other could.

OUTSTANDING!

Once again Christopher Artinian delivers. Non stop action, wonderful dialogue (man I wish I could speak like his characters, they just crack me up sometimes!) I cannot get enough of his characters. The overall theme of never giving up and doing your best and family is everything just makes me want to be strong like these characters. Kim Bretton is absolutely amazing with her narration. I don't know how she does it with all the accents and characters. I get totally sucked into each of the books in the Safe Haven/End of Everything series. I love these characters, they make me laugh, cry, get angry, and scared for them. you would think after 30 books in a series they would get boring or dulled down. Not so with this series. Every book leaves me wanting MORE. keep em coming, Mr Artinian! and Ms Bretton! ❤️

Who will we lose this time?

Christopher Artinian has done it again! I am always amazed at how he can keep this series (along with its companion series) fresh, but he does it every time!

Wren, Robyn and Mila have returned to the Priory where the Safe Haven residents are now living and they brought a few new friends with them! But, they also bring news that there are (potential) enemy forces nearby. Of course, Mike and Mia decide that the best thing to do is attack before the attack is brought to them.

Also, Prime Minister Beck thinks that the best course of action for him is to surrender himself to Olsen/Ashford and negotiate peace. Does he truly believe that those two power hungry psychopaths will comply?

Throw in plenty of action, both with zombies and enemy forces, a few near deaths (I'm coming for you, Artinian!), and a couple of unexpected budding romances and you have a great book! The book is fast paced, full of emotion and the addition of lots of fun new characters add to the enjoyment of this latest installment.

I really appreciate how the author has worked in relatable human emotions into these books. You have a beloved Auntie with dementia who is protected at all costs by her loving niece. You have a young autistic boy loved by everyone in the community. Then, you have a couple of the strongest characters we have come to love experiencing depression and hopelessness. All of these details bring a whole new level of engagement for the reader.

The full cast of amazing women characters is very unique for this genre. From the youngest to the oldest, the women in this group are fearless! It is a refreshing change from a lot of zompoc books where the women are just there as background fodder. And, we can't forget the dogs! Wolf, Muppet and Humphrey continue to earn their keep (and often amuse the reader).

Kim Bretton is an absolutely amazing narrator and her performance truly brings this series to life. Her individual voices for each of the characters are instantly recognizable to long-time listeners and it's almost like having a movie play in your head as you listen.

I only hope that the author continues this series for a long time. I feel like I know each and every character and love them like family!

Hooked

Great series . Great author and excellent narrator. This series doesn’t disappoint. Make sure you start from the beginning however.

I need more!

Aarrghhh. I'm left hanging!! I have so many questions but don't want to leave spoilers. A major development in the story of our friends from Safe Haven. A bold decision leaves them strobe than before but not everyone is there. Will the missing members bring good or bad news when they return? What will happen whend they discover what's happened in their absence . Please don't make me wait to long to find out.

5 stars across all

Can’t wait for the next audiobook! Hopefully we don’t have to wait too long. Thank you for your stories!
