This blew my mind!
Those who know me know that I am a zomibe buff, and Sanctuary took any standards that I have & blew them out of the water. Pauline was able to create a different type of Zombie/Apocolyptic genre that is filled with multiple different types of horrific monsters. There are your stero-typical zombies, then you have wailers....holy MOSES!
I can not count on one hand how many times my skin started crawling in this book. With all the page-by-page cliff hangers, close calls and just flat out creepiness, I was glued to this book from the beginning!
The one thing that I could have gone without in this book is Brad...he just screams @$$hole....and I kind of wish he would have screamed it from the streets so he would have been taken, or killed. But, just as every character, I know he serves a purpose. (Even if I can't stand him)
On the other side of the character spectrum, there's Jennie. At first I wasn't sure what to think, I felt as though her sweet-nice side would get her killed. Yet it seemed like her faith is what kept her strong, and I am not one to like a lot of religious features in a book, but there was just enough tactful use of it to have a perfect little marriage.
Overall, I truly enjoyed this thrilling whirl-wind of horror. I am pretty sure there will be multiple books to this series, and if not I will be begging Pauline to brew something up.
5/5
