Until Morning Comes by JT Sawyer (A Carlie Simmons Post-Apocalyptic Thriller Book 1)

Fantastic story! Great character development, extremely fast-paced, and definitely edge of your seat.
The zombies are different than your run of the mill zombies, which makes the story more interesting.
Read in one sitting. Can't wait to read the other books in the series.

I loved the strong female lead character, and the story line had great potential. Narration was really good and it was easy to distinguish between the characters as they spoke. The characters were not well developed though, so it was hard to relate on a personal level with any of them. Also, I think we are at a point with zombie books that we have to have more to the plot than humans vs. zombies, and that is basically what this plot was about. Because this is the first of a series, I look forward to seeing if the characters will develop more in future books.

After reading so many prepper/bug out.SHTF novels, they all seem to share much of the same old theme, however the difference between a well written or interesting novel and mediocre is the authors story telling adroitness. Sawyer seems to have learned well. I'll definitely read more.

Okay, so I actually read and reviewed this book as part of the boxed set. Then, after reading the fifth and final book in the series, I decided to do something I've only (in close to 1500 books) done once before.... I downloaded book 1 just so I could leave this review telling you that if you like zombie books, you've just GOTTA read this series. There are other thoughts and comments I have regarding it but for the purpose of this statement - you've just GOTTA read this series!

Carlie Simmons is one bad a.. Secret Service agent. She is currently assigned to protect Eliza (daughter of the President of the US). attending the University of Arizona. Eliza is a "tad" rebellious and doesn't like to be shadowed by these agents. There is a news report that hundreds of people have been killed in the South Eastern US. And, the killers are exhibiting cannibalistic behavior.

This is the story of Carlie and the rescue attempt of Eliza. It should be noted that there are not many agents that survive the onslaught; so Carlie is nearly on her own. And, there is a scene in the elevator shaft which will not be forgotten soon.

Most interesting beginning and it appears that Jared may be turning a corner in the right direction at the end! Am in hopes that Volume 2 is out soon.

Most highly recommended.
