Security consultant Amber Redgrave is having a bad day. Her latest client was killed on her watch, and she’s been told by her “boss”, John Richmond, that she should take a break from her job. This doesn’t set well with her, however, so when an emergency call comes in about the rescue mission Richmond is getting ready to go on, she talks herself up and onto the rescue team without his knowledge. Needless to say, once Richmond shows up at the meet-up point and realizes Redgrave is there, he is not happy, but it is too late to find anyone else at that point. The team is briefed on their mission, rescuing two children held hostage at an abandoned mining village, and then are on their way. Once at their destination, the team doesn’t find what they are expecting, however. Instead, all seems quiet… until the undead start coming out to attack!

Putting a fresh new spin on the zombie sub-genre, Shaun Jeffrey has created a new species of zombies. Jeffrey’s zombies don’t shamble about slowly and stiffly. They move fast and will hunt you down! And that’s not the ONLY thing special about these zombies, but I don’t want to spoil the surprise. Following up his previous release, The Kult, Jeffrey has managed to come up with yet another story that will leave readers flipping the pages frantically to see what will happen next. For both zombie fans and those who aren’t, this is a thriller novel that you don’t want to miss. Shaun Jeffrey is an author to be remembered in the horror industry as his novels keep you on the edge of your seat. Highly recommended!

Contains: Adult language, Violence, Mild Gore

Interesting and at times riveting read. This is not my normal genre of reading, and that being said, I liked it. The characters are part of what make the story, especially Amber's, as she is the main character. The second storyline going on didn't seem to relate much at first, but added to the overall plot, especially towards the end. Not the happiest book in the world, but when you are dealing with zombies, who really expects it?

I received a copy of this book through the Goodreads giveaway.
