This is the fourth book in the Zom-B series. And the reason
why I put Zom-B in the name as well is because if you were to
pick up this book or any of the other Zom-B books, Zom-B
is the first thing that you are going to see title wise. Once again I
am a huge fan of Shan's seeing as I have been reading his books since
I was in grade school, but I will leave my bias thoughts out of this
review. Don't forget comments are welcome :)
B is back in the fourth installment of Zom-B. She has all
but given up hope for normal human existence, but she keeps seeing
these strange signs all over the place. Following the sign of a Z and
an arrow, she finds a group of people called 'Angels'. They want to
go up against the evil forces of the undead. But everything is not
what it seems, and it is up to B to find out what the real war is
about.
When we left off in the last book (Zom-B City) she
was greeted by a guy in an supposed abandoned building. This man is
another revived, a zombie that has their wits about them. His name is
Dr. Oystein, and he has a huge story that I will not spoil. No the
spoiler that you may or may not read is the back story for him.
*SPOILER-ALERT* In fact everyone in the compound is a revived except
two people.*SPOILER-ENDED* There are three characters that we meet in
the first or second book that have come back into the light in this
book. I love that. I hate when authors introduce characters, and then
they just never show up ever again as the other books come out. I
love that Mr. Dowling does not make an appearance in this book, but
that mean that he will be coming up more and more in the coming
books. And this is hinted toward as well. There are many things that
are hinted toward but never fully exposed.
Now I had one huge problem with this book. It seems like it is
just a filler book. Nothing huge happens in this book other then the
reader finds out some huge things. No real action takes place like in
the previous three books. Yes these books are on the smaller side,
but this book really seemed like a filler for the series. Half of the
things that took place in this book could have simply been explained
and taken place in the next book. But that is just me, some other
reader may find that this book is a perfect calm after all that has
happened in the past three books. To each their own. Other then that
there where no other complaints about the book.
I am very happy that three characters came back from the first or
second book. I love that big secrets for Dr. Oystein is spilled but
others are still kept. I didn't like that this book seemed like a
filler for the series. Though this book is from the 'Teen' section in
my library, I do recommend this book to people of all ages. I am
extremely happy that Mr. Dowling didn't appear and was only talked
about, but I am really not looking forward to him in the coming
books. I do not have a fear of clowns but Mr. Dowling really is
pushing me toward one.
