Whispering Pines was a small gated community before the zombie apocalypse. Now it's gated, barred and surrounded by razor wire. The residents are trying to keep it business as usual so the Home Owners Association is alive and well. Unfortunately, the president is a tyrant who keeps most of the residents cowed and uses her authority to further her own ends which ultimately results in chaos.

So far Whispering Pines has managed to keep its residents safe and well fed. They even have working Playstations. Of course, like any good zombie story, it's all about to come crashing down around them.

While I liked the book in general. I found some things unbelievable. The main characters (and town saviors) run around with crippling wounds. Elsbeth is a teenage cannibal, ninja-assassin able to take on fifty zombies with only a spiked club, and she can sneak up on and "take out" trained Special Forces soldiers. While this makes the story more amusing, (and the author was definitely going for a comedic aspect) it takes away from the realism. Although, it's a zombie apocalypse do we really need realism?

Thanks to Kindle Unlimited I'm able to get the whole series so I'm absolutely going to pick up book number two and see where the author is planning to take us next.
