Rise Again (Rise Again, #1)

by Ben Tripp

A MYSTERIOUS CONTAGION. MASS HYSTERIA. SUDDEN DEATH.

And a warning that would come all too late . . .

Forest Peak, California. Fourth of July. Sheriff Danielle Adelman, a troubled war veteran, thinks she has all the problems she can handle in this all-American town after her kid sister runs away from home. But when a disease-stricken horde of panicked refugees fleeing the fall of Los Angeles swarms her small mountain community, Danny realizes her problems have only just begun--starting with what might very well be the end of the world. Danny thought she had seen humanity at its worst in war-torn Iraq, but nothing could prepare her for the remorseless struggle to survive in a dying world being overrun by the reanimated dead and men turned monster. Obsessed with finding her missing sister against all odds, Danny's epic and dangerous journey across the California desert will challenge her spirit . . . and bring her to the precipice of sanity itself. . . .

Filled with adventurous human drama--and shocking inhuman horror--Rise Again marks a vivid and powerful fiction debut.

Okay.

Okay..

Okay... For some reason I'm having trouble figuring out what I thought about this book. On one had it was intense, really scary, I kept wanting to pick it up and read it when I wasn't reading it and I kept thinking about it.

On the other hand when I was reading it I would put it down easily, I didn't really connect with Danny and I'm not sure if I even liked her much, she was brash and selfish yet also badass and cool. And then the storyline made me think 'Well what was the point in all of this?' when I was three quarters of the way through, the ending was the main interesting part and it felt too short.

Soo I can't decide if I liked this or not. But I do know that it was an intense read, the zombies were scary as hell and there was evolution. The beginning quarter of this book was my favourite part, where people were acting strange and Danny was trying to figure out what was going on. The rest of it was the same old survival story.
