Book Blurb:

Disconnected from humanity, alone, waging a relentless and unending war against the ravening hordes of the living dead, Jango has finally found peace. He has thrived on the endless slaughter of the Apocalypse Road, and in his peace has become something more than human, and something less than human. 
His peace is suddenly shattered when a woman and her child fall into the clutches of a foul gang, and he feels compelled to help them. The violent insanity that ensues will leave you breathless as Jango brings justice to the innocents, and rage and ruin to the wicked.

My Review:

This is the third book in the Zombiefighter Jango series. I loved the first two books and have been eagerly awaiting this third installment, it did not disappoint.

Jango continues his journey along the apocalypse road but this time he's not alone, as he becomes a surrogate parent to a baby that he rescues along the way. Jango encounters hoards of zombies and some despicable 'twists' who get their kicks from harming women and children.

This is a fast moving story with plenty of action, weapons, violence and gore. It held my interest throughout. It was satisfying to see Jango dispense his own brand of justice in some very creative ways, but we also get to see his softer side. As always with Cedric's books, there is a deeper message of the damage man causes to those who are weaker and to the planet, along with the effects that abuse and trauma have on the psyche. I loved the ending and am now impatiently waiting for book four.

About the Author:

Picture
I was born to alcoholic parents, and raised by my abusive father until I was twelve years old, and I entered the state system. I learned to be hard, I learned to survive, and I learned that the world is a cruel place for children and animals. My books are harsh, and I will not shy from showing the truth of human evil, and the fact that violence can only be fought with an even greater level of violence.
Do right, be right, and try to make the world within your reach a better place.

Catnap often.  Don’t be a stalker unless food is involved.  Despite the rumor, it is okay to be curious!  A Cat Taught Me That is filled with humorous advice and the wisdom of elder cats that includes information on how to get more out of life, and how to avoid common pitfalls along the way.  Cat lovers will enjoy the adorable photographs and cute illustrations throughout. 

Celebrity cat ‘Awesome Louie’ provides insight with his gritty cat interviews, as well as sage advice with his “Mewsings” column.  Short essays from the cat-lady author will bring smiles to the faces of readers who have learned that “Not All That Glitters is Gold” and “To Be Kissed By a Cat” can have unintended consequences

Excerpt:

Picture
“A Little Indulgence is Okay"

I’m Louie and I’ve been told I have a problem with cat treats.  Of course, a problem is in the eye of the beholder.  In my eyes, loving cat treats isn’t a problem unless I run out of them. 

After I was rescued, I learned three things about my caregiver and new best friend.  First, food was readily available day or night; I would never be hungry again.  Second, I was now living in a house that was warm and cozy; freezing outside in the winter was highly unlikely.  Third, I learned about this tasty food called “snacks”.  I would come to love it when my caregiver announced the magical words with enthusiasm – “Kitty treats!” 

When I was first introduced to this fabulous dining experience, the flavors included turkey, beef and chicken.  Eventually catnip and dairy-flavored treats entered the scene.  Once I tasted those little nuggets of goodness, I was hooked. 

I perfected the sad kitty face, which is subtle and very effective when done properly.  The trick is to look longingly at your target and try not to blink.  Raise a paw in a slightly pathetic manner towards the treat container as the caregiver opens it – a classic move. 

While my owner swears that she may check me into a clinic for cats with food addictions, she is more purr than hiss.  I know that the next time she comes home from the pet store with kitty snacks, she’ll rattle the bag because she knows I’m listening.  I’ll come racing into the kitchen like a furry, 16 pound bowling ball on steroids, and she’ll love me for it.  And give me treats.

Take it from me, you can never be too furry or have too many treats!

My Review:

Yeah, I know I usually review romance but I love cats so I just had to review this book. It was a cute, heartwarming, funny read full of cat wisdom, complete with pictures. I highly recommend this to animal lovers everywhere.

    Author

    Michelle Abbott lives in the UK and hates describing herself in 3rd person.

    She writes new adult romance about heroes who fight against the odds and are protective of their girl.

    She's an avid reader of romance, is addicted to coffee and loves wine and chocolate, so yeah, not the most healthy eating and drinking habits :-) She spends way too much time online when she should be writing. She collects teddy bears and occasionally knits a couple of rows on a sweater she started years ago, which she may eventually finish in time to wear for her funeral :-)
