Review of Book One HERE.
Also fellow Platypire Bob has already read most of the series. Here is her review of Slow Burn books 1-3.
Slow Burn: Infected picks up the story of Zed, Murphy, and Jerome where Slow Burn: Zero Day ended.
All three have all been infected but have not succumbed to the most pernicious symptoms of the virus. They’re not the mindless cannibals that most infected are. Nevertheless, their band of survivors, fearful about the trio’s infections, have ostracized them.
Now, back on the street, with weapons to defend themselves but little food in their packs, they embark on a search for Murphy’s family while following the rumor of a safe haven in the form of a doomsday bunker under a house in east Austin.
But the world is more hazardous than they could have guessed. They expect violence from the voracious infected but they have harsh lessons to learn about the lethality of the uninfected. And without people to support the infrastructure of modern civilization, they find that danger comes in many forms.
My Review:
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
4 Platypires for Slow Burn: Infected by Bobby Adair
Whoa this was a lot better than the first book. Like I couldn't put it down good. I just kept wanting to know what else was gonna happen. The book was really fast paced and had quite a few surprises which I enjoyed.
I think my favorite character is Murphy. He is pretty bada$$ and his outlook on their situation is just humbling. He's not gonna sugarcoat it and he's not slow on the uptake. He just gets it. Zed on the other hand shows signs of improvement but it can be quite frustrating watching him go back & forth with his thoughts and his teachable moments. When he's explaining the new world to Mandi, he sounds harsh and very negative. But then at times he comes off as very optimistic for the future and wants to save everybody. Which is kinda writes cause before the apocalypse he didn't care about life or anybody but now he does. Like, Murphy said, Zed can be very naive and imo slow on the uptake. I hope their is improvement with his character in the next book.
Slow Burn is a really great read and I would recommend it to any zombie fan.
