The second installment of Once Upon a Zombie Apocalypse continues as Jade and Kylee fight their way out of Virginia Beach and head toward the Mason Dixon line. There, they hope to find Kylee’s family alive and well.
The virus, which is turning the world’s population into zombies, is spreading faster than either of them would have imagined. Chaos now plagues what is left of society, leaving death and destruction rioting in the streets. Many of the survivors have gone into hiding in order to stay alive.
Jade and Kylee refuse to hide. The need to find their families is even stronger than their will to live, and it is the driving force on the journey to find their loved ones.
“Please … please let them be alive.”
I received a beta copy of this book in return for an honest review and all I can start off by saying is “OMG, WOW”. This story had a lot of ups and downs and is an emotional roller coaster ride. There is still a quite a bit of humor and I did laugh and smile and while reading, started thinking about the personalities of these two authors standing out in each character. There was a few times where my heart felt heavy and I felt sorry about what these characters had to face and a couple of times I literally bawled my eyes out. I also love the new characters that are introduced into the story and I hope we will get to know more about them. This is a phenomenal RECOMMENDED READ that will entice and intrigue you to keep reading, with lots of action and suspense that lurks around every corner. There is never a dull moment in lives of Kylee and Jade in their days to come of Zombie killing. You will be addicted to this story from beginning to end. These authors have an amazing writing style that will lure you in and keep you thinking long after you have finished reading the book. I do, however, recommend that you read book 1 before reading this one, so that way you get the full story on how this all started. Thank you K.B. Miller and Jennifer Malone Wright for another awesome action pact story, where “Zombie hunting IS my day job.” I give this story 10+*s.

Once
upon a time, my world was normal.
There
is no going back to the way it was. In a matter of days, we have seen
devastation and chaos take over. It’s spreading fast, too fast to
fix, leaving society in ruins and turning cities into ghost towns.
People
are disappearing quicker than I would have ever expected. In the
short time we have been on the road I haven’t seen many people, but
the zombies are everywhere. They walk around aimlessly, in search of
fresh meat … in search of us. It’s probably safe to assume
that anyone who has survived so far has gone into hiding, only to
come out when they need something.
Most
people were not prepared for the shit hitting the fan. And very few
of those who did prepare actually thought it would be a fucking
zombie apocalypse; I sure as hell didn’t think it would be what
fucked up our world. I was more concerned about a nuclear war, or
China finally wanting to collect on all that money we owe them. I
don’t know, anything but zombies.
At
this point, Kylee and I have to take it one step at a time. My family
is far away from where we are, and Kylee’s home is closest, so that
is our first destination.
Each
day is a different adventure and a new test of our strength. Our
friendship has been strengthened, but tested at the same time. Ky and
I, we are two very different people, and in some ways it’s a
challenge to be around each other for very long.
In
other ways, it’s a balance. She strengthens me where I am weak and
makes me see a softer side when I am too harsh, which I tend to be
more than I want to admit. I’d like to think that it’s the same
for her as it is with me.
One
thing I know for certain is that I wouldn’t be able make it through
this without her. I guess if you’re going to be stuck smack in the
middle of a zombie apocalypse, it’s always a plus to be stuck there
with your best friend.
Onward
we go, each day bringing us a little bit closer to our loved ones …
our husbands and children, the people we would die for. Hopefully,
when we find them, they will be alive.
K.B. Miller and Jennifer Malone Wright
are both authors of the paranormal and urban genres. Once Upon A
Zombie Apocalypse came about after many discussions on how they would
survive the zombie apocalypse. Their survival strategies were so
different from each other on some accounts; they decided it would be
fun to see the two differences trying to survive together. K.B. and
Jennifer met as mere acquaintances and have now formed a life-long
friendship.
K.B. Miller is
best known for her best selling series The Moon Coven. She has
several other works in progress which will release in 2013. At home,
K.B is a full time writer with a very supportive husband and son who
is too smart for his own good. In her free time K.B. likes to read,
dabble in graphic design, watch her favorite shows, and spend time
with her other love … coffee! She is also an owl enthusiast and
swears she will someday ride a unicorn.
Jennifer Malone Wright is best known
her YA paranormal series The Vampire Hunter’s Daughter. Her other
works include the follow up to The Vampire Hunter’s Daughter called
