A Safe Place to Die

Wrack and Ruin, Book 2

De: Otto Schafer

Narrado por: A.J Carter

In a world where the sky bleeds infection and the dead refuse to die, will having each other be enough?

A parasite-carrying asteroid has unleashed a zombie plague upon the world, forcing nurse Zoe McCallister to flee her overrun neighborhood with her badly injured husband Oliver, their dog Louie, and Jurnee, the little girl Oliver rescued from a burning vehicle. Following the plan she and Oliver made, Zoe seeks refuge for them in an abandoned church some fifteen miles away.

But safety proves elusive as the crimson contagion bears down, forcing Zoe to make a difficult choice—a choice that could bring terrible consequences.

When Oliver wakes up, he has nothing but pain and questions: Where is he? How did he get here? Where is Zoe? Little Jurnee only has a few answers, and he doesn’t like any of them.

Melding pulse-pounding zombie action with complex characters and wrenching moral dilemmas, A Safe Place to Die launches a gripping new vision of the undead apocalypse. Perfect for fans of The Walking Dead or World War Z, and for anyone who has wondered if they could survive when the dead rise.

none stop suspense

This second book was just as good if not better than the first. There was not one moment where I was not on the edge and trying to not yell out and my speaker with concern or excitement. Amazing listen and can't wait to get the hard copy.

details

writes with such details I can put myself in Oliver's shoes or Zoe's shoes

worth it

Has to be my favorite zombie series so far! I don't like that's a minimum word count for a review.

Even better than book 1!

The author creates a very immerse environment through great details. I really enjoyed the curves in the story which helps care separation from other zombie books. I also think AJ is getting better. I still feel he occasionally makes disagreements between characters sound too heightened for what's going on and whiny, but much less so than previous narrations. Honestly, my only complaint was it needs to be longer. I ate through the audiobook in about a week of commuting :)

Excellent continuation of a great story

The narration is fabulous! I was very invested in the continuation of Zoe and Oliver's immersion in this post apocalyptic world. I highly recommend this series for lovers of multidimensional thrillers.

These undies sure are scary lol

I usually read fantasy or romance. I can’t do any horror/ thriller, anything with suspense bc it just triggers my anxiety. But Otto came up on my fyp on TT and i had to give it a go. I loved the first book and this one is just as good. With action from start to finish. Highly recommend. I cant wait for the next book! Please hurry Mr. Schafer❤️

great

absolutely riveting sequel. it's everything that I wanted in a sequel. this in the previous book are some of the best books that I've read in years.

Kept you on edge

Great book! Wish it was longer. I finished this in a work single day. I agree with one of the reviews, A.J. Carter is definitely getting better with narrating but he does make some characters sound whiney when they shouldn’t be.

great zombie book!

I've read a ton of apocalyptic books and this one is so well done! I love the outbreak, the survival, the day to day struggle of that first week, trying to figure out how to survive, all in a gripping plot and beleavable characters. I cannot wait for the 3rd book!!

Better than the first book

Way better than the first book. I liked to finally getting more information about the zombies and what made them.
