Description
The world has suddenly changed, and Flex Sheridan doesn't like
it.
In an effort to save his sister from the zombie-like epidemic
that has swept over the eastern United States and quite possibly the world,
Flex re-connects with perhaps the strongest woman he knows - Gem Cardoza, his
former girlfriend.
Together they take his six-year-old niece Trina, the only
uninfected survivor of his sister's famiy, and his infected sister Jamie, and
make a run from central Florida back to his isolated home in Lula, Georgia.
On the way they encounter another uninfected, Hemphill
"Hemp" Chatsworth. A naturalized U.S. citizen, Hemp is British, and
extremely smart. He holds a degree in Epidemiology and Mechanical Engineering,
both of which this group will need.
Along with the crossbow-wielding Charlene "Charlie"
Sanders and a pregnant Great Pyranees dog, this small group uses street smarts,
book smarts, and technology to defend against the new "Abnormals"
that walk the earth.
But Hemp is also compelled to learn how they got this way, and
if possible, how to reverse the condition and save Flex's sister.
So grab your machine gun and take a ride in their fortified
vehicles and mobile lab; you're going to want these people on your side when
the Dead Hunger . . .
Review
Dead Hunger
4 out of 5 Stars
Dead Hunger is an action packed, heat packing, zombie killing,
fast paced ride!
When Flex goes to check on his sister he walks into a horrific
surprise waiting for him. I liked Flex’s character. He does what is right out
of love and the simple fact that it’s the right thing to do. The atmosphere
that Mr. Shelman creates while Flex is at his sisters house opened up the story
to the fact that the whole world was about to change--being overrun with
zombies. Mr. Shelman used Flex’s family to make me care right off the bat…I
don’t know that I would have felt so much for the situation were it not for
Flex’s niece. That really pulled me in.
While Flex is at his sisters house he meets up with his old
girlfriend, Gem. OK, I’m not gonna lie it bothered me that she just so happened
to come right to Flex on the day the world was going to pot. I liked Flex and
Gem together but separate I had a hard time relating to her. I couldn’t quite
put my finger on it, but the next book in the series is Gem’s so maybe that
will change
I did however love Hemp! Hemp is a genius scientist and a jack
of all trades (Did I mention his accent?). He knows everything about guns and
cars…I could use some of Hemp’s inventions when I’m going down I-85. Yes, I
know I just sounded a little scary, but he made super cool stuff. I think he is
my favorite character and I am really excited for his book.
If you like zombie reads I think you will like Dead Hunger. One
of my favorite quotes:
“ Cutting off the head just makes a dangerous bowling ball with
teeth. You get bit, you become one. Scratched, we’re pretty sure you become
one. There’s a lot we don’t know, but just act like what we’re telling you is
gospel, and you should live to tell your grandkids about this. ”
This was a fast read. It was between a 3 and 4 but I don’t do
half's. Just a warning in the description when it says strong language, it’s
not joking and there is a lot of it. But, I enjoyed Dead Hunger.
Happy Reading,
Rebecca
