review 1: This book was okay... I'm not really sure what I did & didn't like about it. It was pretty much the same as the first book as in the beginning was a little boring then it starts speeding up a bit towards the middle then towards the end I was left scratching my head at the way that the author brought it to a close. I don't mean that in a bad way, I've always enjoyed books where I was positive I knew how it was gonna end & was totally thrown for a loop. And from the past 2 books I've read by Mr. Maberry, he is definetly not that type of author that you can guess the ending. What I do enjoy about this book, was that I normally wouldn't have picked it up, but since I'm on this zombie obsession, I thought I'd give it a chance, & was pleasantly surprised. The only warning I'd gi... moreve readers is, yes it is a "zombie book" because there are zombies in it, if you're a HUGE zombie fan and love books where there is non-stop zombie action, I wouldn't suggest this book. It wasn't really about zombies, it's more of a murder mystery book similiar to the first book in the series, Personal Demons. But aside from all that, it did hold my interest, but not enough to give it a 4 or 5 star rating. Overall, I recommend reading it if you've read the first in the series or if you're interested in a murder mystery with a science fiction twist. Definetly pick it up if you want a book that will throw you for a loop!
review 2: I have varied reasons for reading books: recommendations, research, writing tips, or because a friend has written one, but sometimes I get the chance to read a book purely because I want to enjoy it, and no other reason.Desperate Souls is the second instalment of the Jake Helman files, and after reading the first, I had high hopes for this one. I'm so pleased to say that I wasn't disappointed. Much of the same style, as you'd expect with a sequel - the concept was great, the gore and horror reminiscent of so many movies I watched in my youth, and the plot turns certainly kept me entertained. The zombie threat remained a constant menace too with a unique take on a well-established genre. With a couple of crooked cops thrown in, it's a fun read.I certainly recommend this for some smile-worthy popcorn entertainment. less
