About the Books:
Afterworld Series by Karice Bolton 
Genres: New Adult, Post-Apocalyptic

Synopsis book 1 - RecruitZ:
Scientists are the new rock stars. The infection has been contained for nearly three months, and the world is celebrating. But humans are still dying. Rebekah Taylor has seen it firsthand. Her husband was killed right in front of her by the very creatures that humans were told they no longer had to fear.

Rebekah is determined to find out who is responsible for the death of her husband and the obvious cover-up. Fueled with revenge, she begins to find answers that lead to one frightening conclusion. The apocalypse might be over, but the battles are just beginning.

Review: 
In a world that has supposedly recovered from a zombie outbreak, Rebekah and her husband a trying to rebuild their life until Rebekah husband is targeted and killed by a strange group of zombies. Rebekah fears that these zombies were different than the rest and the attack was planned.  In her grief, she determines that there is a conspiracy and Rebekah turns to revenge.  Meanwhile, Rebekah has to put up a facade of normalcy, or else be taken away.  Rebekah sets out to put herself into the world of the dangerous people who train zombies, with the help of a bartender, Preston, she finds more than she thought possible. 

I liked that the story takes place in a world that is recovering from a zombie apocalypse.  There is still danger, but it is from an unlikely source, the one that Rebekah and Preston are determined to bring down in revenge for their loved ones.  This gave the story a unique plot with something other than just killing all the zombies.  From the prologue, I knew that this story would be good, an emotional opening, but one that fuels Rebekah's intentions. Rebekah is an extremely tough character and I enjoyed seeing her increase her skills in an attempt to uncover the conspiracy.  Preston is a nice balance to her character, sweet but tough and smart. Preston and Rebekah sort through conspiracies and cover-ups offering up there are plenty of thrills, action sequences and emotional roller coasters

This reminds me of the Feed series with the zombie apocalypse having been a few years ago and now they're basically in the recovering mode. This sounds like something I'd def enjoy! Great review!

    Hi there! I'm Stephanie and I obviously love reading.  As, the title suggests, I read at least one hundred pages a day.  I enjoy most book genres; however, my favorites are historical fiction, fantasy, science fiction, thriller, horror and YA.  I also read a lot of non-fiction science and gardening books for my occupation.  I enjoy reviewing books and as always, any book that I receive for free is read in return for my honest review.
