Rise of the Chosen

I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley exchange for an honest review

Summary: Rice of the Chosen

In Sam's world there are two rules. Rule #1: Nobody dies. Protect the living at all costs. Rule #2: Everybody dies. At least once.

The Waking was a global event in which a force called the Lifeblood invaded all humans who died. The few strong enough to control it came back as powerful immortals. The rest let the bloodlust take over and awoke with one goal - to kill.

Newly appointed Watch Guard Samantha Shields has a legacy to uphold. Her father died a hero defending their city and now she wants to follow in his footsteps. Except for the dying part, of course. Unfortunately, fate has other plans as she discovers deep dark secrets that make her choose between her loyalties and the lives of everyone in her city. Both rules are in play as Sam is forced to make hard decisions that could cost her everything – including the person she cares about most.

Review:

This book was very interesting in it’s take on the Zombie/Walking Dead. I would have never considered this route; I bow down to the mind of this author.  From the very first page I was intrigued and couldn’t put the book down.  The characters are well developed, you feel the emotions, the story and the dialogue is very real.

Conclusion:

Would I recommend this book to others? YES

Would I read other books by this Author? YES

Is this book a Novel or Novella? Novel

Is this book priced correctly? NO, As a person who lives on a fixed income, I look for the bargain books.  Even though I got hooked on the story line, unless I have the opportunity to pre-read the rest of the series, this is one series I’ll be missing out on, because of the price.
