    About this ebook

    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.

      Domino Falls I have to mention that I didn't read the first book in the Devil's Wake series, but honestly Domino Falls reads just fine as a standalone. I was instantly impressed by the writing style, and by the simple ways that Barnes and Due separate this from other zombie books out there. I'm a huge fan of a good zombie story, and this fit the bill perfectly.

      The story opens on the characters from the first book and they are traveling across the perilous landscape in a battered bus. Attempting to find a safe haven, they arrive in Domino Falls. On the surface it looks like the ideal place to survive: quiet, well-stocked and safe. However the longer they stay, the more they see beneath the grime under the shiny layer on top. This isn't just a town, it's a cult, and their buried secret is a crazy one.

      I loved how easily I was able to fall into step with the characters, despite not having read the first book. This is a very character driven story. Domino Falls pulls the reader into the lives of normal young people that are just trying to survive. If I had to pick a favorite? Terry wins hands down. As the leader of the group, and an amazing individual, I couldn't help but adore him. If you're a reader who loves to feel invested in the characters when they read, you'll love this writing style.

      Now that I've finished, I know I'll go back and read the first book! I'm excited to get more of a back story on the characters that I fell in love with. Being totally honest, this is a book that is well worth your time. The twist might throw you a bit, but trust me when I say it's such a fresh take on the zombie novel! Give this one a shot.

      Accidentally picked up book 2 in this series about a zombie apocalypse, with a mostly-PoC cast that begins the book tightly bonded together, having survived various horrific traumas as the world around them degenerated. In this book, they find a refugee community led by a charismatic figure who believes in the “Thread” that links everyone together—which may have something to do with the strange dreams one of our protagonists has been having, and may also have something to do with the red vines that start to grow out of the zombies if they stay in one place long enough. Although all the elements are familiar, the execution is engaging, so if you like zombies this one would be worth a try.
