TODAY IS ANOTHER ZOMBIE BOOK
It is the day before HALLOWEEN and today I am reviewing another zombie book. Today's book
is GEORGE'S TERM A ZOMBIE NOVEL. by Catt Dahman
BOOK BLURB
In Northeast Texas, the epic adventure of a group of survivors begins as they take refuge in a hospital, waiting to see if the world-wide Red Infection can be stopped before all humanity is wiped out. As victims awaken from a coma, they now have the basic need to attack loved ones, to spread the infection, and to feed on warm flesh. Only rage remains. In days, the dead outnumber the living, and the US turns to the ultimate weapons to stop the infection.
In a world filled with zombies, survivors find that the living can be far more inhumane and cruel than anything they have ever imagined, as raiders scavenge for supplies and lawlessness and hatred are the norm. Both outlaws and zombies crave meat. In this time of hopelessness and horror, a bullet to the brain may be the kindest action.
George, an older, retired police officer, sets his own terms: fight and survive or go the way you want, but don’t let the zombies win. He explains that everyone is responsible for his own fate, and if that means going out on unpopular terms, then so be it. Len, a retired Marine; a quiet cowboy, Kim; a hot-tempered Hispanic woman, Julia; and a compassionate young woman, Beth all begin their terrorizing journey, not only to survive, but also to establish a new society, find love and joy in a barren, bloody landscape, and to face gathering enemies.
The first of the compelling series, George’s Terms, introduces a memorable cast of characters and a terrifying vision of a world, burned to rubble and filled with flesh-eating adversaries. As each person faces inner fears and new roles, he finds law and morality must be redefined. Zombies are used as the vehicle, but the story is all about what humans will do to survive when the odds are stacked against them; luckily, for the survivors, George has given them the terms that may keep humans from becoming extinct.

MY REVIEW
This is a gory bloody, scary frightening good book. It is exceptionally well written. This zombie book starts out with survivors taking refuge in a hospital. Fighting for survival. We met George a retired police officer and his band survivors. Len a retired marine, and Kim , Julia and Beth. They all come together to survive and begin again.
I absolutely loved this book. Catt writes such vivid believable characters. They are so colorful and believable . You get completely get suckered into the story from the first page of this book. You want to cheer for these survivors. You will fall in love with all of them and want to get their happy endings away the zombies . I loved George he was such a great character, you want to love him and hug him.
The story is well written and when you think you have it figured out Catt will take you a whole different direction and will blow you away. This book will keep you reading well into the night. Your heart will be pounding in your chest as you read. It has realistic story line and great believable characters. Reminds me of the WALKING DEAD in the way her characters are written and the plot lines . So if you want a great zombie read for tomorrow night check it out. Catt will leave you breathless and you will not be disappointed

NEXT ON OUR HORROR COUNTDOWN IS

CLOSER…
They found the town silent, apparently abandoned. Then they found the first body strangely swollen and still warm. One hundred fifty were dead, 350 missing. But the terror had only begun in the tiny mountain town of Snowfield, California.
AND CLOSER…
At first they thought it was the work of a maniac. Or terrorists. Or toxic contamination. Or a bizarre new disease.
AND CLOSER…
But then they found the truth. And they saw it in the flesh. And it was worse than anything any of them had ever imagined…

MY REVIEW
This is one of the first books I have read from Dean Koontz. I keep coming back to his books when I want a good scare and not all the blood and guts of some books. Dean takes us on such an emotional roller coaster. Mr. Koontz can create some really eerie, scenes and some really skin crawling scenarios
In this book he mixes historical mysteries along with the ghostly aspect. The lead characters are so well written. I try and not fall in love with the lead characters in a horror story. Cause when I do, they end up dying in some horrible way and my heart breaks. Then the tears start to fall. Yes I become an emotional wreck . That is beside the point. This story is about the total depopulation of a small California mountain town. Everyone basically disappears leaving uneaten meals, tvs left on. When Jennie and Lisa Paige come back for their mother's funeral. They stumble onto the scene and call the police and with the sheriff they realize that there is more out there after them. There is something that goes bump in the night and they are after them. Will they survive the night
I loved this book the way that the author mixes the historical aspects with the intrigue and the creepiness of the way he writes. The characters are well written and this book in my opinion has one of the greatest villains of all time. This is a fast paced book with a great ending that will leave you trying to catch your breath. The ending of this book doesn't leave you hanging. Wondering what ever happens to the lead characters . Mr Koontz wraps everything up nicely at the end.
I am so happy I found this author and he rapidly became one of my favorite authors and I love his brand of story. So if you want a great read please check out any one of Dean Koontz's books . Trust me you will not be disappointed .

Welcome to I think day 5 of my horror countdown. Todays book is ACCIDENTAL EXORCIST by Joshua Graham
BOOK BLURB
When forensic psychiatrist Abigail Lee meets a baby-killing mother who has been declared criminally insane and acquitted, she discovers something lurking beneath the surface. Something far deeper and more insidious than mere psychopathy. But can she come to terms with her own struggle with science and faith in time to confront it?
MY REVIEW
When I was looking for books to read for my countdown. I came across this book and it was a freebie. So I thought what the hell. This is a good read. It sucks you in from the very beginning. We have a spunky forensic psychiatrist, a woman up for murder and a priest and no this isn't the beginning of a bad joke
This is a fast read, and your heart will pound just a little harder as you read. It has the elements of a good horror story. Things that go bump in the night and if you think of heaven and hell . Possession of a person. This book will make you think about that.
The only thing I wish is the story could be a bit longer. Delve into the characters a little more and really delve into the good versus evil aspect of the book. The author does do a good job starting to create the characters . They just need to be plumped up a little
Over all this is a good read for Halloween if you like a book that will make you think and like the good versus evil aspect instead of a ghost story check it out . There is also a bonus book with the story
