I should start by saying that young adult zombie apocalypse
is not my preferred reading genre. In fact, until this
series I had never read a zombie book. So, I'm not sure
what attracted me to DOMINO FALLS. The cover? The synopsis?
The authors whom I have heard other readers praise? A
craving for something different? All of the above? Whatever
it was, I'm grateful for the impulse. DOMINO FALLS is a
gripping and suspenseful story of the struggle to survive
against a mysteriously evolving threat.
Being new to zombie apocalypses, I had to start at the
beginning of the series with Devil's Wake which
brings together a group of teenagers on a journey to a safe
haven after an infection turns much of humanity into raging,
biting zombie-like freaks. Kendra, Terry, and the others
have made their way safely to Domino Falls (aka
Threadville), a town with strict rules and regulations
focused on keeping everyone safe and alive. As the teens try
to find and keep their place in town, strange events start
them wondering about the town's secrets. Is anyone safe when
the danger inside the protective fence seems greater than
the danger outside?
DOMINO FALLS is a story of courage, resilience, and loyalty.
It values the power of family, whatever form the family
might take. With so many dead, bonds are formed among the
survivors that are as strong as those forged by blood. It is
these bonds that make every potential injury or zombie bite
high-stakes danger. Not surprisingly, there is uncertainty
about who is telling the truth and who can be trusted which
adds a compelling layer of threat to the narrative.
Revelations about the true nature of the infection left me
frantic to know what happens next. Unfortunately, I'll have
to wait for the next book in the series. I hope I don't have
to wait too long!
It began on Freak Day—that day no one could explain, when strangers and family members alike went crazy and started biting one another. Some thought the outbreak was caused by a flu shot, others that it was a diet drug gone terribly wrong. All anyone knew is that once you were bitten and went to sleep, you woke up a freak.
