I FINALLY finished this book, and I loved it! I had wanted to read it all in one sitting, but what with Christmas planning and travelling to see family and friends, I had very little time to just sit down and read. But this book had my attention from the very start, and I was reluctant to put it down every time real life beckoned.

Firsty, I must say that I received this book from the author for the purpose of posting a review. I'm honest, and don't ever sugar-coat what I think of a book. With that said, I found Fire to be a great read. The story was strong and kept my attention throughout, and the characters were all wonderfully (and rather uniquely) crafted. I'm a big fan of this particular genre too, so perhaps I was destined to enjoy it. I love Zombies. Weird, but true. I've read tonnes of Zombie themed books, both bad and good, and this was certainly one of the better ones. Also, gore really doesn't bother me, but you may want to think twice about this book if that's not your thing ;)

The writing too was of a very good quality and style. I sometimes struggle with certain authors if I find that I don't like the particular writing style or if I find the writing to be stilted or slow, but I had no problems at all with this one. The story flowed easily and was at just the right pace.

I've rated this at 4 stars. I would certainly recommend the book to others, and there just has to be more to come!

Review -

I received this book in return for a honest review from the author. The book focus's around Megan and those she comes in contact with. In this book we have no way of knowing where the zombies come from, they were just suddenly everywhere. We get different perspectives each character has there own unique story but one common goal to survive. The start to the zombies happened within hours, they were in all parts of earth, New York, LA, Russia, London to name a few. which leads me to believe that it wasn't a attack unless it's aliens. The military tries

I think Megan is my fave but there are a few I would to see the zombies eat too. It's a short book, but so much is packed in, you start to connect with the characters, I was sad when people you were starting to know would die. I like that you care about the characters, it's not just a zombie eat zombie kill book. There is a real story going on. I found the characters interesting, some you like right away while some you want to see get eaten.

I'm not a huge fan of zombie books, in part because they are one of the few things that still scare me, but that doesn't mean I don't want to read them. This book was no exception, it gave me nightmares last night, but I really enjoyed the story. It is well written and keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole time. I look forward to learning more about Megan and her battles with zombies and other humans.

I was pretty disappointed with this book, and don't foresee reading the next in the series. I don't think the book gained anything by switching perspectives every chapter. I felt no connection with the characters and found them all to be very flat and bland. There wasn't much focus on the zombies, and still just jumped around too much. I'm glad I didn't pay anything for this book.

Despite the highly graphic, and occasionally tense zombie scare moments, the sheer flatness of the characters killed this book. Don't waste your time.
