Rose Winter has enough problems. With a marriage going down the tubes and a dreaded anniversary party on the horizon, the last thing she needs is the zombie apocalypse. She wanted to get drunk and sing karaoke, not murder her undead neighbors. It’s clear the party’s over, however, now Rose has more problems - a missing husband, an overbearing houseguest, and keeping her family alive.

Well developed,
Reviewed: 2025-01-12
I don’t know how I ended up listening to this. I would never choose a Zombie story. The book is very good. The zombies could just be any world crisis. The story is about human survival. Week developed characters and family turmoil.

Graphic violence
Reviewed: 2024-05-08
Listened to complete books. Stories were good. Narrator excellent. The graphic violence is more than I generally enjoy. I will not be listening to further in the series.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 283
For most of the last hundred years, Biloxi was known for its beaches, resorts, and seafood industry. But it had a darker side. It was also notorious for corruption and vice, everything from gambling, prostitution, bootleg liquor, and drugs to contract killings. The vice was controlled by small cabal of mobsters, many of them rumored to be members of the Dixie Mafia.

Beginning was slow. Did not enjoy the narrative format vs first person. More of a history lesson. Got much better last 2 thirds.

This was ok. I listened to the complete book. Although a few times I considered stopping. I only listen to sifi occasionally, this was a bit too strange for me.

As most reviews have said, the reading of the social media conversations are very hard to follow and boring. Otherwise I enjoyed the story and performance. The ending was a bit weak.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 172
Nancy Kranich (played by Emmy-nominated actress Natasha Lyonne of Russian Doll and Orange Is the New Black) is a night nurse on an orbiting space station. But Nancy hates her job, is sick of space, and longs to find adventure and a safe place to smoke cigarettes that won’t blow everyone up. But when Nancy gets caught up in an outer-space conspiracy involving President Kennedy, former vice-president Richard Nixon, and an intergalactic object that could change the course of history, she gets way more adventure than she bargained for.

Interesting paranormal

An interesting story. I found it a bit too heavy on the “God” story line . A good vs evil paranormal saga. I am not sure I’ll listen to next in series.

I almost gave up on this in the first hour or so. There was a lot of background info and discussion about the computer game world. However, I stuck with it and enjoyed the trip. A long story with lots going on but the action was worth it.
